a hot dog-stuffed pizza??

what more to say but who approved this?

who knew?

apparently, marshmallows are the new cupcake. who knew? that said, i'm down - delish.

partisan tea

my mother thought it would be amusing to send me iced tea...from rush limbaugh. i'm not one for politics, but it's pretty tasty.

cheers

now, how can we get one of these installed in our new office?

who approved this? (cheesy edition)

oh, denny's. a 1,690 calorie mac-n-cheese burger?! who approved this monstrosity?

schweddy balls are back!

gotta love ben & jerry's sense of humor, introducing their newest limited edition flavor, "schweddy balls." hi-larious.

good times.

reminder

as you prep for the hurricane, don't forget to do your panic buying of bread, milk & eggs for all of that french toast you'll be making.

it was

admirable, but coco loco (art snack edition)

i love me some crafternoons. but carving busts out of oreos?

admirable creamy craft, but a little coco loco.

delicious dish

my favorite thing about summer? homemade watermelon salsa. it's also, incidentally, the easiest thing in the world to make (assuming you can use a knife to cut things). you can find the recipe for it here.

who approved this? (glutton edition)

i love me some friendly's. (with apologies to mars,) you can't go wrong with a reese's peanut buttercup sundae.

this, however, is much too much - 12 scoops of ice cream! who approved this?

royal commemorations

with so many royal gifts to go around, it's hard to keep track. here, my two favorite food-inspired ones:

seriously papa john's?!

happy easter!

the royal jelly bean!

what two things are taking place this month? why, easter *and* the royal wedding.

so amazing to see that a gentleman in the UK has discovered the perfect merging of the two...a jelly bean with the likeness of kate middleton:

"As Jessica opened the jar, I saw her immediately. She was literally lying there staring back at me."

literally? oh, those crazy brits.

peep! peep!

speaking of easter confectionary, i love me some peeps. especially after i poke a few holes into pack and let them get ever the slightest bit stale.

check out the winners of the annual "peeps show" contest:

chilean mine peeps

tsa peeps

peeps + crafternoons?! heaven.

who approved this? (fromage edition)

speaking of those crazy brits, "high heels" made of local cheddar and bread? i realize that this was probably for a county fair or something, but who approved this, UK?

who approved this? (coronary edition)

oh, BK. the "meat monster," really? two burgers *and* a chicken patty? and cheese & bacon to boot? who approved this 1,160 calorie monstrosity?!

i scream, you scream

this week's sweet treat is homemade creamsicle ice cream...delish, if i do say so myself!

my new obsession

not sure how this will jive with the "year of fitness," but my new obession is the ice cream maker attachment to my kitchenaid. santa brought that for my birthday.

so far i've only made one batch - strawberries & cream made from fresh plant city strawberries, direct from florida. it was delish!

goodbye...cheese

well, lent is upon us again and this year i am giving up cheese (thanks to whatevs for the idea). this is going to be tricky...!
