Well since we all love the random posts here we go. *Being a former math teacher I am going to give a little math lesson on here today (don’t panic…it’s not real math). Today’s Math Lesson: Common Denominator. If you get along with almost no one and the people that you have problems with only have problems with you and no one else. Guess what? The common denominator is YOU. Not the other people. *The winners of the Frontera Margarita and Guac books are Carrie who said “I love a good margarita (I even have a shirt that has margaritas on it!) but a rum and coke also hits the spot too. And my fiance likes to mix Calpico and Korean soju, which is a vast improvement on soju’s rubbing-alcohol flavor.” Yes, you can’t go wrong with Rum and Coke…you can do wrong things after Rum and Coke though. :P And Julie who “hope to ruin as many miserable lives as you some day. What an honor! I’ll go with Amaretto Sour for all your sourpuss readers.” Good luck with that … [Read more...]

Trade ins….

When MDP and I were talking marriage but not actually engaged there were quite a few people who suggested that I use my OLD wedding ring and trade that in to get my new wedding ring. Ummm. I gave them a perplexed look. Number one my ring was from Tiffany’s and while they do “trade ins” so to speak but you must spend a minimum of $10,000 to upgrade your ring (yes you are now all realizing that I had a very expensive ring before…don’t come try and rob me it’s in a safe deposit box). And number two that’s just tacky. Nothing like starting your new marriage with the bad ju-ju attached to your old ring (yes I am superstitious). I guess that’s part of why I wanted my mother’s diamond. There is a lot of good ju-ju on that diamond. A lot. I did not know I was getting my ring. I had already owned the diamond as my mother had it put in a necklace for me. MDP took it without me noticing. He chose what the ring would look like. There aren’t that many surprises left in the … [Read more...]

Hopefully you had a wonderful Thanksgiving or if you live in another country a nice Thursday. :) But now the serious baking starts up. And many of you will be heading off into the world of cookie exchange. I get asked A LOT this time of year what cookies I suggest for cookie exchange. So much so I made a Pinterest board dedicated to it. Check it out. But if you are looking for a cookie to take and you are a spice cookie lover like me….then you won’t need to check out that board… I have found the cookie for you. Half pumpkin snickerdoodle which is yummy in its own right and half soft gingersnap…to say that this made my mouth happy is an understatement. My pants weren’t that happy as I ate half the batch in one sitting. Snickerdoodles are my favorite I couldn’t help it. :P The smell they produce when baking will make you dance around like when you find a $20 bill in your coat pocket that you didn’t know was there! … [Read more...]

Just a quick one today. As you can see some days running my blog can be torture on the dog. :P It can be torture on my as well. Seriously…what was I thinking trying to work full time, write for Tablespoon, go on vacation, and have a blog post up every day? Oh that’s right I leave shampoo in the freezer…I don’t think anymore. I was doing good until today and then I just hit a wall. The brick kind. Very sturdy. It won. This is short. :D These are some simple sugar cookies that my friend sent me a link to. Told me they were good. She is the type of person when she says these are good, they are. So I followed the Pinterest link and found them. Today’s giveaway is the ever useful kitchen bowls…you can make cookies in them. This is a nice set of six. To win the Trudeau Melamine Mixing Bowls in Assorted Bright Colors, Set of 6 leave a comment telling me how you found my blog. Have to live in the USA. Have to comment by Tuesday June 19th, 2012 at noon PST. Chewy M &M … [Read more...]
