Sounds Phishy…..

May 12, 2013 by Peabody · 31 Comments

So back in early April Kristan, Shelly, and Bridget declared it candy bar week and created treats in honor of their favorite candy bars. I thought that sounded so fun. I mean we all know I have a candy addiction/un-natural obsession. This time around however Shelly and Kristan went with a Ben and Jerry’s Theme Week, which is equally as fun so much so that I had to get in on the action! Be sure to see what Shelly, Kristan, Julie, and Heather did with their flavors this coming week! As for me, my favorite flavor of Ben and Jerry’s is Chubby Hubby. But I’ve already made several things with that flavor profile, see here, here, and here. So I decided to go with Phish Food. If you don’t know the flavor it’s chocolate ice cream with marshmallow swirls, caramel swirls and fudge fish. Things I learned while making this: 1. I never realized that ice cream was named after the band Phish. Mostly because I didn’t listen to their music and because I usually bought the ice cream … [Read more...]

The In Crowd….

May 9, 2013 by Peabody · 26 Comments

When I was younger and thinner I went into Abercrombie and tried on a pair of shorts in an 8. They were cute with bows (I’m a sucker for a bow) but they left little to the imagination for what kind of underwear I might be wearing. Not being comfortable having shorts at my underwear line I thought maybe if I size up they will sit lower on the hip. I asked the sales girl if they had that in a size 10 and I got this reply “oh we don't carry that item in a size 10...could you imagine how bad that would look. We don't cater to the obese. Besides those fit you fine". I promptly left. Recently the CEO of Abercrombie has come under fire for his comments: With such comments you would think that I would boycott Abercrombie. Nope just the opposite. Oh I’m not going to give them any more business but I do own some Abercrombie stuff. I own a few size 10 jeans that I can squeeze into. And I own quite a few men’s sweatshirts (the women’s are too tiny) that I wear to score keep in … [Read more...]

So one of the highlights of our Philly trip was me experiencing the Peach-Butter Pecan Pie Milkshake that Franklin’s Fountain made. I knew I had to try and recreate it. And yes they really do serve it with a whole piece of pie on top…not to mention the pie in the actually milkshake as well. Pure genius. Evil genius, but genius nonetheless! It’s not exactly peak peach season right now and I never like to make things exactly how I had them anyway…. so I switched the peach out for apple because I love me some apple pie. And instead of butter pecan I added caramel to it because caramel makes everything better…well it doesn’t make clean up better. Now I made the ice cream and I made the pie for this. As I mentioned on FB I have been wanting to bake/cook big time just haven’t had the time. This weekend is my first time where I didn’t have anything! Don’t you just love those weekends? I don’t get them often so I am relishing that big time. While it might seem like … [Read more...]

You call that a salad…

August 22, 2012 by Peabody · 21 Comments

I went to a potluck in the south once and looked down at a concoction that I had not seen before. And the woman next to me said “oh that’s salad” and I said “it has Snickers in it” and she said “yes, it’s Snicker Apple Salad”. Oh well of course. I put Snickers in all of my salads…don’t you? I thought she was crazy until I ate it. Apples. Good. Snickers. Good. Whipped Cream. Good. Back in those days that’s all they put in the salad. I guess if Waldorf can be a salad and that Strawberry Pretzel thing…this can too. I have been craving apple pie like crazy lately. I’ve tried to ignore it almost breaking down and eating a Hostess apple pie when I got gas the other day (don’t judge) but I clearly needed to feed the apple pie beast within me. Since I tend to do things with a twist on here I decided to do a twist on the salad into tart form. And gotta say yum! Now it’s not apple pie-y apple pie but it’s good all the same. And hey…it’s salad. You can … [Read more...]
