Peanut Butter Chocolate Overkill…

November 2, 2012 by Peabody · 19 Comments

So yeah it’s over kill. Yeah you are probably going into a diabetic coma just looking at the photos. Yes there are three peanut butter cups in that. :) So you are probably saying how on earth do you have leftover peanut butter cups? I know right? I blame my mother. For real. She taught me that if you were having a dinner party for 10 plan for them to eat as much as 50 people. Every time we went to the store we bought a bag of candy for the last month and a half. We didn’t get as many trick or treaters as we thought. Though we didn’t get our pumpkins messed with as we are a very popular house to those that did visit….because we were like here take 12, 13, whatever. :P I still have a dead wasp on my floor by my computer for weeks now. I refuse to pick it up. Know why? Two words: Zombie Wasps. They are real. I know he is just waiting patiently on me to give in pick him up and then he will have me. I have had a couple people get mad at me for still posting on my blog when … [Read more...]

Ride the Whopper Comet…

June 4, 2012 by Peabody · 13 Comments

First off congrats to #41 Lynn G for being the winner of my absent minded cookbook ordering. Please see the contact section of this blog and email me your address and get it out to you! Congrats. To those who are sad about not winning coming up next week (on the blog birthday) there will be some other opportunities. :) Also my first post is up over on Tablespoon. If you would like to show me some support over there that would be awesome. And for those who were wishing I was sharing my cocktail making skills of my youth you are in luck as pretty much every post over at Rock UR Party involves a cocktail of some sort. :D You know you love that. In other news while making this bread pudding I learned the valuable lesson of not putting whole Whoppers into the bowl when the whisk is at full speed. In good news I evented the Whopper comet…which could probably take an eye out. So if you don’t like someone invite them over and put Whoppers into your mixer when they are standing near … [Read more...]

Unmistakable…

May 8, 2012 by Peabody · 6 Comments

One time when I was a teenager and my parents went back to see my grandpa I was left to my own devices. I was left with grocery money (because I knew how to cook) and money for Chinese food (which is pretty much all I wanted to eat back then…kind of still do). For whatever reason I really, really wanted potato salad but we had no hard boiled eggs…but for some reason I had already boiled potatoes. So I had a great idea. Put the egg in the microwave. So I did. It was fine. Since I was in a rush I decided I would put it in a bowl and run it under cold water to speed up the process. And with that I had hardboiled egg 4th of July…with little bits of hard boiled fireworks flying through the kitchen everywhere. I cleaned up what I saw but I’m not a very good cleaner and when my mom came home in a couple of days she noticed right away (I missed the large chunks of the ceiling….who knew?) My parents weren’t mad or anything. I mean you know you have a good teen when you go away … [Read more...]

Slip of the tongue…

MDP and I were roaming the aisles of our local Rite Aid in search of Mini Cadbury Crème Eggs…found them obviously . In doing so we were picking up all sorts of candy and commenting. One of them were Prayer Jelly Beans “Reaching the World One Piece at a Time”…it’s up on my CCbP Facebook page if you care to see those. The other thing we were commenting on were the Brach’s Chicks and Rabbits Marshmallow Candy which we both agreed we secretly loved. I sat there staring at them and he was like don’t buy those we will eat them in one sitting. Which is true. :P I told him though that I wondered if I could make anything with them. He told me he doubted that. I told him they were just like Circus Peanuts and that I once made Circus Peanut Ice cream…and I kind of almost shouted it. Except I didn’t say Peanuts. I said something that sounded like peanuts. I meant to say peanuts. It didn’t come out as peanuts. It came out as an ice cream flavor I don’t ever want to eat. … [Read more...]
