Chocolate Banana Mini Cupcakes with Fudgy Salted Caramel Frosting

I must have missed the memo that said it was email Peabody questions week. Holy cow. I am used to getting quite a bit of email but this week must have been REALLY slow at people’s work. None of them really hate mail either (so refreshing :P ) but some definitely quirky ones. So let’s answer a few shall we: We will start with my favorite question which won’t be addressed but was too interesting not to post: “I was just wondering if you were getting laid yet? If not, my brother’s roommate is a super nice guy with a good job. He loves the food I make for them from your website and says he finds you attractive. We live in the Seattle area. If you are interested, I can give you his info”. Wow. That is all. “What is your biggest pet peeve?” Well that’s kind of hard to say as it really changes daily depending on my mood. But since it’s the beginning of the year I have to say all the low carb people. I realize you lose weight doing it. I watch many a friend … [Read more...]

Be careful what you wish for…

November 11, 2011 by · 12 Comments

Today instead of honoring Veteran’s (or Remembrance) Day, most people were preoccupied with what they were going to wish for at 11-11-11-11:11. Ah, the priorities of people. Nonetheless you could have easily honored Veteran’s as well as wished yourself a little wish at 11:11am this morning, so let’s hope people went that route. It makes me wonder what people wished for. My dog probably wished for bacon or pizza crust. Tons of teenagers (or grown 40-something women) probably wish that Twilight was real and that Edward married them. You might laugh at that but you would be surprised at the volume of email I receive because I live in Washington State asking me to get people authentic Twilight stuff from Forks, WA. FYI- I live four hours from there…stop asking. Some people were probably wishing for something good to happen to them. Some people probably wishing for something bad to happen to someone else. Some people were wishing for the winning lottery numbers. Some people are … [Read more...]

Going bananas…

October 10, 2011 by · 14 Comments

So you probably thought I took another vacation! :) Nope, just recovering from my vacation. Seems like for every day I am gone, I need two days to recover. :P But the laundry is finally done. My family birthdays always seem to fall around major holidays. My mother’s is around Mother’s Day and often falls on it from time to time. My brother is the day before Halloween. Mine sits between Canada Day and 4th of July and my dad’s falls around Canadian Thanksgiving and Columbus Day. Luckily for us, only my mom gets screwed with the double gift. :D The Happy Birthday/Mother’s Day combo package. My dad’s birthday is Wednesday. As you can tell from the photo bellow my dad is withering away in his old age and spending his time in his rocking chair. Well he does do some of that. He certainly naps a little more these days…but then again so do I. :P It’s weird when your parents get older. They always seem to be a certain age to me or when I think of them I think of them at a … [Read more...]

And you are….

September 22, 2011 by · 20 Comments

So I know people on Facebook are upset about the new changes. I’m not here to discuss those changes. I’m here to discuss the phenomenon that is couples as one person on FB. I hate this. Because usually I’m not friends with the couple, I’m friends with one of the two people. So half the time when they post I don’t know who is actually posting. And then when you comment and it’s the other person and you thought that it was your friend they ask who are you? I’m C’s friend. Oh. Yes, oh. If you are going to make a joint account maybe only friend the people who you know together as a couple. Maybe only friend other people that are on joint couple accounts. Interestingly enough, most of the people I know that have these joint accounts usually have them because the significant other wants to make sure that nothing is going on behind their back. If you are at the point where you don’t trust what your spouse is doing on Facebook, maybe you should spend less time on … [Read more...]
