Okay, so I’ve been wanting to make a Mickey Mouse cookie jar for a while now, and I finally got around to it! It was a bit of a process, but I’m so happy with how it turned out. First, I had to gather my materials. I went to a local store to find all stuff I needed, like a basic ceramic cookie jar, some acrylic paints, brushes, and a sealant. I also printed out a picture of Mickey Mouse to use as a reference. I just found the picture…

Okay, so I’ve been seeing these dog lick mats everywhere lately, and I finally caved and got one for my pup, Max. He’s a super anxious guy, always licking everything – me, the furniture, you name it. I figured this might give him something to focus on, and boy, was I right! First off, I had to figure out what the heck to put on this thing. The package didn’t say much, just to use stuff that can be smeared or frozen. I did some quick reading online and saw…

Alright, let’s talk about this Disaronno Velvet stuff. I saw it at the store the other day and thought, “What the heck is that?” It looked fancy, so I grabbed a bottle to try out. Turns out, it’s a creamy liqueur, kinda like Baileys but with an almond twist. First thing I did was pour it over some ice. Gotta say, it’s pretty darn good on its own. Smooth, sweet, with a nice nutty flavor. It’s like a dessert in a glass, seriously. But then I thought, “I bet I…

So, I was thinkin’ the other day, “I could really go for a nice walleye dinner.” I love a good fish fry, especially on a Friday night. It’s kind of a tradition, you know? But finding a good place that serves walleye, well, that can be a bit of a challenge. First, I jumped online and started lookin’ around. I checked out some restaurant menus in my area. Figured that was a good place to start. Some places had signs up about “fresh fish,” but that doesn’t always mean walleye,…

Okay, so today I want to talk about a recent snack I tried – Haldiram’s Carom Seed Cookies, the 120g pack. I’ve been on the lookout for something different, something that’s not your everyday cookie, you know? I was browsing the aisles of the local Indian grocery store, hoping to find some unique stuff. I stumbled upon these cookies and the word “carom seed” caught my eye. I’d heard about carom seeds before, they are these tiny little things used in Indian cooking, supposed to be good for digestion, and…

Okay, here is the content about the Valentine’s Day dinner. It was Valentine’s Day 2024, and I decided to do something special for my wife. I thought about taking her out to some fancy restaurant, but then I figured, why not make it more personal? So, I decided to cook a romantic dinner at home. I started the day by clearing out our living room a little, making space to set up a nice dinner table. Then came the fun part – planning the menu. I wanted it to be…

Hey everyone, it’s your girl back with another kitchen adventure! Today, we’re diving into the world of gluten-free baking with a recipe that’s sure to be a hit: Monster Cookies. I’ve been trying to cut back on gluten, and let me tell you, finding good recipes can be a real struggle. But these cookies? They’re a game-changer. So, I started by grabbing my ingredients. First up, unsalted butter. I made sure it was at room temperature. It is important that this will mix better with the sugars later. Speaking of…

Alright, folks, gather ’round, gather ’round! Today, I’m gonna tell you about my little adventure with this crossword clue: “Ultimate dinner guest?” I saw it in the LA Times, you know, and I thought, “Hey, why not give it a shot?” So, I started digging around the internet, just typing “ultimate dinner guest crossword clue” into the good old search bar. I stumbled upon a bunch of different websites, all claiming to have the answer. One site said there were 30 possible answers, another said 40. Can you believe that?…

Alright, so picture this: I decided to tackle this project called “Eight Years in the Desert.” Sounds intense, right? Well, it kinda was. The whole idea came to me when I was going through some old stuff, and I stumbled upon my dad’s middle name, Orin, and my mom’s maiden name, Swift. They were both such adventurous souls, always up for exploring new things. And that’s what sparked it – I wanted to create something that embodied that spirit of adventure. Now, why “Eight Years in the Desert,” you ask?…

Okay, so the other day, I got this idea to do a crossword puzzle, and the theme was “thanks for dinner.” Sounds simple, right? Well, let me tell you, it turned into a whole thing. I started by brainstorming a bunch of phrases related to thanking someone for a meal.

That was a real brain teaser. I…
