So Easily Led Astray

Check out David Hasselhof drunk on floor eating a cheeseburger. His daughter made the movie. It’s pretty funny. I’m posting this because hmmm I was pretty excited about vodka redbulls (liquid cocaine) last night and was in a similar state as the Hoff and would’ve gone home with anyone with a handlebar mustache. Yum.

Ooh and Dr. Seuss’ Bee Watcher came in the post today. Yes I bought it. Very very Happy.

Who Buys This?

As a totally unashamed Ebay addict I can confess to hours of wasted time browsing the virtual aisles of the largest most amazing shop in the world. So after watching an episode of weeds (which will make you realise that it is not just your life that is so tragically pathetic) I was reminded by Kevin Nealon just how important it is to have a Sharpie pen and that I really need lots of them. SO I searched for them on Ebay and  you would be amazed at how many turquoise Sharpie pens are available.

On a more bewildered note, I just do not understand who buys a HOME-MADE AUTOMATIC  Beer Maker for $105? Maybe if you are a member of a fraternity?but really a keg  or a 6 pack is more efficient and has the added value of being instantly satisfying. And you just know it will be fun for about 2 minutes and then you will figure out that it’s too complicated and too messy to use. Even then, if you had the patience to figure it out, where would you put it if you live anywhere else but college housing?

I also find it fascinating why people don’t sell home made soup on Ebay. After making large batches you could freeze ziplock bags full of soup and send them out as ordered by overnight shipping. It’s a money maker and you know it.

I love starting a sentence with “And”…it’s so wrong. And there is a draft in this house and I can’t find where it is coming from!

Nigel Slater’s Yummy Brownies Made Slightly Healthier

I’m a big fan of Nigel Slater and last night I acted on an intense brownie craving and found this recipe. Unfortunately I didn’t have 250 grams of butter in the fridge so I had to make a modified version which was so yummy and will save you 4 whole grams of fat per serving. Below is the original recipe (sorry I’m a metric kind of girl): [Read more →]

Sucker for Cheesecake

cheesecake.jpgMMMHHH who could possibly resist these little petit fours cheesecakes or any cheesecake for that matter. I hate food gift baskets and food gift towers. It just seems kind of eighties…the food tower(more like towering inferno). Food gifts are welcome with most anyone except for the uptight lactose intolerant chicks and those poor souls who think they are, or are, gluten intolerent (it’s too easy to pick on these intolerable celiac diseased wimps). Other than the towers and gifts Harry and David have a great array of fruity gifts, gourmet food and cheesecake. These glorious Petits Fours are $39.95 at Harry and David.

Avocado Scooper

Avocado colored silicone handle, of course, for easy gripping. Priced at $14.95 at Sur La Table . If this doesn’t suit your fancy Sur La Table  is having a 35th anniversary sale so now is the time to stock up on copper sauté pans. Sur La Table ships everywhere in the US and ships everywhere else if you give them a call.

Take The Edge Off

It’s what I’m drinking now….never going back to Chardonnay
