Happenings…

April 21, 2013 by Peabody · 4 Comments

I’d love to be coming on here and telling you I have an amazing recipe for you…but that is not the case. Though this week there will be I promise! My life the last two weeks has been extra hectic. I had a bunch of assignment due for my Tablespoon gig as well a miscommunication on my part somehow had me and MDP score keeping more than our usual games. The good news is that things are slowing down and I found some fun food finds. Like these Jungle Animal Cookies which are basically Circus Animal Cookies but in green and white. But rest assured you still can't figure out what animal you are eating...just sprinkled blobs. But sprinkled blobs that I love to eat! Cinnamon Roll Captain Crunch. Haven't tried it yet but can't wait. I love Captain Crunch and I love cinnamon rolls. Fingers crossed. Awww...MDP and I making the best out of score keeping. We score keep to pay for our hockey. Eating my favorite Peanut Butter Bacon Burger (yes it's weird, yes it's good) with fried … [Read more...]

Harry and David Easter Gift Basket Giveaway….

March 7, 2013 by Peabody ·

So Hippity-Hoppity Easter is on its way…end of this month in fact! I love Easter for the décor and of course the candy. Cute bunny and chicks everywhere. And it’s the holiday that fuels my addiction to jelly beans so there is that. So when Harry and David asked if I wanted to give away an Easter gift basket I jumped at the chance. I loved Easter baskets as a kid (okay who am I kidding…as an adult). I immediately went and looked and was torn between two baskets but ultimately chose The Big Hopper Easter Basket as that came with candy corn and gummies and the bunny it came in was just too darn cute. It comes with: 2 Royal Riviera Pears Milk Chocolate Moose Munch Popcorn (6 oz.) Gummi Flowers (4 oz.) Candy Corn (6 oz.) Chocolate Eggs (4 oz.) Yellow Chick Shortbread Cookie (0.8 oz.) And of course it all comes in the adorable bunny! We have eaten everything but the cookie. It’s too cute for me to eat. Someone else will have to I can’t take it’s happy little … [Read more...]

And then there were two….

Well last night’s episode of Top Chef was a good indicator of stick with what you know. Sheldon was sent home for venturing away from the flavor profile that got him to the finale in the first place. I kind of wanted to slap him. So that left my girl Kristen and Brooke to battle it out. Last night was part one of the finales with part two and the big showdown being Wednesday February 27th on Bravo 10/9C. Every time I watch Top Chef I want to scream at the contestants for not being able to make a couple simple desserts under their sleeve. Kristen lists a financier (see one of mine) as her favorite Winter Time Easy Dishes…then make one!!!! I mean you know at some point in the competition you have to make desserts. Why can’t people get this? Brooke’s cake looked good and I was pretty proud of her for doing cake (though she worked as a pastry assistant so you would hope she could do that)! Though I wanted caramel over that bad boy but that’s just me. :) Perhaps … [Read more...]
