1000 and counting….

KitKat Layer Bar1

I randomly noticed that this was my 1000th post. Some bloggers reach that much quicker than me…some never do (so sad that many of my favorite old blogs are long gone). It took me 7 years and 6 months to get to this point. Had I known that I had hit this milestone I might have done something more exciting but alas I did not. I did use up my Kit Kat’s though. :) If you want to be nice and you haven't feel free to like my Facebook page in honor of my 1000th post! Continuing on with highlighting blogs I am thankful for: Blog #5 Not a food blog but a blog that always makes me laugh…always out loud and usually with snorting involved. The Bloggess is not for the faint at heart though. If you can’t handle the f-bomb this is not the blog for you. She also wrote a book which was the best book I have read in a long time…Let's Pretend This Never Happened: (A Mostly True Memoir). Blog #6 What’s Cooking Chicago. Part I love it because Joelen has great dinner ideas on her blog and … [Read more...]

OMG yes….

As October comes round to an end lets do some updates… More proof I am not a best blog and a print button is why. I posted this email on FB but since FB hardly shows stories anymore I’ll post it here. In this one’s defense it is not 14 paragraphs and is not rude. “Hello.... I stumbled upon your blog thru a separate site and I'm very happy I found it! Lots of different recipes I can't wait to try....I did notice that upon printing one recipe the site did display a 'print' option which was (thankfully) a clean page.... But as I started to print a few others I've noticed there isn't the same option.....??..... I'm hoping that you can tweak your site so that your fans are able to easily print a clean (recipe only) copy of the recipes we're looking forward to trying on our own! Thank you!” If there were an emoticon to show me rolling my eyes back that is what would be inserted here. If you haven’t seen Fridgg.com yet you should (no one is paying me to say that). … [Read more...]

C is for Cookie…

I avoid politics like the plague on here, with the exception of the time when Palin kept visiting hockey teams and accidently injuring players (which I didn’t complain about her politics I complained that she was injuring players). And I’m not one to get into them here today. I am a firm believer that as long as you stick to your convictions and you are respectful of those who do not believe in the same thing as you then you are alright in my book. I did not watch the debate. It’s not that I don’t care what they have to say, it’s because I know it’s all a dog and pony show where both sides make a lot of promises that will never come to fruition. I’m not a registered Democrat or Republican for that matter (in my state you don’t have to designate) but when I did have to designate I chose the Whig party…just cause. But when I was on Twitter I started to notice a ton of comments about Big Bird and that Romney was evicting him and that made me hit the web for … [Read more...]

Do You Believe In Magic…

It’s October and I’m ecstatic! It’s my favorite month of the year. We had a high of 70 today but starting tomorrow it’s supposed to dip down to the high 50’s and I can’t wait. Oh sure I am going to freeze my butt off at the JV soccer game but that just means blankets and snuggling…and it for sure means baking! Since it’s been awhile…the good, the bad, and the Meh: The Good: Thanks to Bake at 350 for finding the Print Button Post so humorous and sending some readers my way! I'll admit I am still getting over the sting of not being a best blog. :P Welcome. And speaking of Bake at 350…she’s got a cookbook coming out Decorating Cookies: 60+ Designs for Holidays, Celebrations & Everyday. If you have never seen Bridget’s blog it’s adorable (as is she). She got the decorating gene that skipped my generation. Her cookies are too cute. The foot is on the mend. And while I won’t be getting to start back to hockey right away the sheer ability to drive is … [Read more...]
