Fairytale Brownies Coupon

For Valentine's Day, my boss gave each employee an assorted box of Fairytale Brownies. Isn't she awesome ? Fairytale Brownies Coupon 3/21/20: For a Fairytale Brownies coupon , you need to scroll to the bottom of their site and sign up for emails, which will result in a 10% discount being sent to you. I'm sorry to say that Fairytale Brownies is not currently providing any other promo codes. I've checked Honey, RetailMeNot, and just about everywhere else. Keeping in line with my typical, chocoholic nature, I decided to keep all of the ooey, gooey brownies to myself. Perhaps I could stash them somewhere, like underneath the driver's seat in my Alero. I certainly wasn't going to be sharing them with any Kitchen Pigs. Have you seen the "Lamb Cooks" section lately? If Kitchen Pig wants brownies, Kitchen Pig needs to make brownies! Sexy Nerd was never going to know about these brownies either. It wasn't a totally selfish

The Reviews are Coming!

During the holidays, I had fun writing a gift guide using only products I own and enjoy in real life. This gave me the idea to make unsponsored reviews a regular occurrence on my blog, starting immediately (which, if you look at my last review, apparently means 3 months later.) Yes, there are reviews on sites like Amazon, but I'm always skeptical that those are real, or worry that they're actually one big joke and I'm just not getting it. Some past kinda-sorta reviews: Calphalon Contemporary Pans (The Teflon folks weren't happy and let me know it.)(Come to think of it, writing that will certainly attract their attention again, and they aren't going to like it this time either!) Easy Feet - As Seen on TV (This post offended a reader who said they couldn't bend to wash their feet, so I felt like a jerk.)(My Easy Feet review follow up is that it quickly morphed into a slimy, bacteria-infested health hazard, complete with black fuzzies, so...) I'm ho

Sexy Nerd Made Cookies!

Here they are in the cookie dough stage: Oh wait, that is a photo of them fully baked. Hmmmm. *Yes, it is fun harassing Sexy Nerd! Besides, considering that he made about 2 dozen of these and right now, less than 24 hours later, they are ALL GONE, I'm sure he knows I'm just teasing him. The recipe may or may not be coming soon. I asked how he made them and he said "I dunno". So I asked if he used a recipe or just made something up. "I dunno," he said again. YOU DAMN WELL KNOW WHETHER OR NOT YOU USED A RECIPE, YOU CRAZY ASS NERD! Whoops! Must be the sugar talking. o-:)

Simrin Place Setting Placemats: DIY?

I stumbled upon these cute placemats from burkedecor.com and am optimistic that I can make something similar using bamboo placemats and rubber stamps. We'll see.

It would be great if Conan moved to Cartoon Network

Fancy Schmancy Dining Room With A Wall Mural

Over the past few weeks, Sexy Nerd has made some major updates to our dining room. He repainted the chairs, refinished the table, switched out the light fixture, and, of course, put up the gigantic tulip wallpaper mural that has been sitting in the closet since March (finally!) There is still a lot to do (like recovering the chairs, adding 2 more chairs, and building a window seat,)(oh, and replacing that ugly white tile around the fireplace!) but we think the changes look pretty good so far. Somehow, that green dolly always finds its way back into our dining room!

Road Trips Are More Fun With Puppy Dogs

Cupcake Decorating Ideas

Sweet cuppin' cakes! Sexy Nerd and I spent our New Year's Eve decorating cupcakes. Cupcake Decorating Ideas We're quite the party animals. (Just in case you don't know us at all, this is a joke.) Apparently, these 4 looked so goofy that Blogger felt it necessary to rotate my photo. The one on the lower left is a Pica dog. Though, I'm sure that's clear without any clarification! Cupcake decorating is a messy job, but someone's got to do it! Ta da - the top 12, which include a mug of beer, Santa, and flames. Sneaking a cupcake when no one's looking. The perfect crime?

Our Cruise On The Holland America Veendam

I can't believe our cruise ended in October and I still haven't finished posting all of the photos! I haven't even posted all of our stops. Rather than take even more time sorting through everything, here are the photos from the rest of our trip. It's quite possible that additional captions, sorting, and daily breakdowns are coming one day in the future (hey, anything's possible!) No other vacation beats cruising! There's a funny story about this watch and this dinner invitation (you know, in the way that irritating, horrible events where everything went wrong are funny when you look back at them), but it will have to wait for another time. Alright. I suppose that now is as good a time as any to explain the watch/dinner invitation connection. I had read online about a special dinner featured on some Holland America cruises called the "Chef's Special". It involved all of the waitstaff serving dinner while SINGING & DANCING. Ridiculous? Abso

Cinnamon Croissants Recipe

What on earth could this crazy contraption be? Something to hold yarn? A medieval torture device? Some newfangled pizza slicer? Super-whisk? NOPE! Surprise, surprise! It's a croissant cutter. And for only $4 at my Albuquerque thrift store! Damn. It's times like this that I wish I had the patience for baking. *Update* I made croissants so that I could test this croissant cutter out. I will never make them again! What a pain! I just want to EAT them, not make them! *Another Update* You're more patient than me and you have a shiny, new croissant cutter and you want to use it, despite being warned that this is a baking task of the damned? Here you go... Funny side note: While designing this graphic, I originally had a different background with a bunch of cute lil' croissants lined up in rows. Luckily I zoomed in because they were shrimp. Mastering the Art of Homemade Croissants with a Croissant Cutter...and Cinnamon Croissants! Few things rival the aroma a
