Low Fat Everything Muffin


I'm such a muffin whore. I mean hoard.  Muffin hoard.  I hoard muffins.

Honestly, I don't know where my mind has been lately.

Off daydreaming about the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday I suppose.  Dreaming of all the wonderful things that make my spine tingle.

Like coconut.

And Blueberries.

And Bananas, creamy and slightly hypnotic.

Crunchy Pecans that beg to be bitten, crunched and devoured.

Flax Seed to make you strong and healthy and vigorous for whatever activities you might need vigor for. . . .

There I go again.  I'm gonna stop now really.

And eat a muffin. 

Better give one to Mr. Woo.  He might need his stamina.

Cinnamon Toast


Ever call your kid a hooker to her first grade teacher, on accident?

And then have to tell your husband, because he is the father of said child.

A father who very much loves his daughter and does not think she is a hooker.  Who is not going to be too pleased with his spastic wife, who has fat fingers and is iPhone crazy, and is completely overly obsessed with Twilight and should probably be put in some sort of program or something.

Why do I even bother asking? Nobody does that but me.

And just so you know.  I don't think my child is a hooker.

Peach and Blueberry Crumble


Ever walk into a room and think, maybe I shouldn't be here

Like maybe, you felt a little uncomfortable about something you saw?

Or maybe you were at the mall, Burger King or somewhere, and you saw two teenagers totally mugging down and you thought, Ugh. That has got to be gross.  But you just kept looking because it was kinda fascinating in the most horrifying National Geographic type way?

So you stare because your eyeballs have been locked into a dead on glare, in which they can no longer move to the left nor the right until you figure out what in the world she is doing with her tongue.

That happened to me the other day.

There was no tongue action, thank goodness.

Chicken and Gravy


Today Mr. Woo is sick.

I hate it when he's sick.

He is soooooooo boring.

If you poke him, he jiggles a little, but only a little.

He wears this sad little pouty look on his face, and his jaws droop down like Deputy Dog.  When he opens his eyes, he barely opens them into these tiny little razor slits.

Quite honestly he looks downright pathetic.

The Elena Ruz Sandwich (Roasted Turkey on 9 Grain Bread with Cream Cheese and Strawberry Jam)

I'm gonna make this short, because . . . .

A.) I don't want my husband to kill me
B.) You might be tired of me moaning and whining
C.) I'm tired of me moaning and whining
D.) When your life flashes before your eyes, it isn't an experience you want to relive over and over again for long lengths of time

First let me say, I lurv my husband.  I don't just love him. I lurv him.  That's like love to the infinite degree.

Secondly, I know I created this beast, with too much talk about girl power. It's all my fault. I deserve what ever should befall me.

That being said.. . . .

The Cuban Sandwich


This is me airing my dirty laundry. Well, not the dirtiest laundry. Not my unmentionables.  Just the stuff that needs a quick rinse.  And I'm doing it anonymously for the sake of non-innocent parties.

Dear Anonymous,

I am very, very, very, mad at you.

Maybe I shouldn't use the word "mad".  My mother says "mad" is for dogs. And I'm not the dog in this scenario. Not that I'm saying there is a dog in this scenario. But if there were, it wouldn't be me.

Fake Pho - Fo' Show or Something quite similiar to Pho' (Vietnamese beef and rice noodle soup) though technically you can't call it that, for sure & Please Don't Go ~ by Mike Posner


I have a new favorite song.

I've been wanting to tell you for sometime now, but I couldn't find any food to adequately display the feelings that I have for this song.

When I hear it, I turn up the radio really loud.

I ignore my children.  If my children continue to talk to me whilst I play my hymn, I turn it up even louder, and sway my hips harder.

If they still continue to talk, I take drastic measures. I quickly jerk my head in their direction, shoot fire lasers from my eyes, and blow icy breath on them that immediately freezes their sad little bodies and momentarily handicaps them from speaking.

Hot Chocolate Banana Smoothie


I had a dream about my husband.

He was so in love with me. Whenever we were apart all I wanted to do was be with him. To stroke his hair. To feel his arms around me. To feel his breath against my neck.

When he walked, he had a swagger.  And his chest was HUGE and muscular. The shape of his back was CRAZY-RIDICULOUS.  Broad at the shoulders and ripply huge hunks of muscles all down his back.

But. . . . . .

He had Jon Bon Jovi's Hair.  What do you think that means?

The Best Turkey Chili I Have Ever Made

Do you promise to love me forever?

Not just until the end of this week.  Or until I stop telling you embarrassing things about my life.

F-O-R-E-V-E-R.  Till the end of time. Or at least until the end of General Hospital. THE ENTIRE SHOW. Not just one episode.

I feel like I want to take our relationship to the next level.  If you know what I mean.

Pacific Merchants Trading Company ~ Price and Kensington Teapots & Mason Cash Mixing Bowls

I've decided I've got this whole grown up thing wrong.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

I worry too much.  I clean too much.  I yell too much.

Whole Wheat Crock Pot Lasagna


New Year's Resolution #2 :  To Lose Weight. Maybe.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

So here's the deal.  My butt giggles. I mean jiggles.  Who am I kidding, it probably giggles too.

In a related matter:

I had pee in the sheets 4 times this week. Not my pee. Other peoples pee. See yesterdays post.

The toilet exploded. Guess who had to clean that up.

Ke$ha - We R Who We R

New Year's Resolution #1:

To Keep Up With the Laundry.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

There is pee in the sheets.

There is pee on the pillows.

There is pee in clothes and in places I dare not mention.

Pee, Pee, Pee.

This is the reason I hate to do the laundry.
I avoid it like the plague.
I have even considered decorating my laundry room in the theme of Twilight - New Moon (my fave book), just so that I can bear to walk into that room bravely and do my duty.

But alas, not even that sweet nugget of Edward Cullen can convince me to walk bolding and turn on that blasted machine.

And now my mother has come, and like all good mothers's, great mother's, nay Stellar Mother's that rival the greatest humans that have roamed the earth, my mother has caught me up on my laundry.

So what, you say?

I HAVE 4 FREAKIN' KIDS, AND IT'S A LOT.

A WHOLE LOT OF CLOTHES.

Especially for someone who originally didn't do much laundry.

Originally? Who orginally does laundry? You know what I mean.

Anyway, I'm swamped and overloaded and now, I'm caught up.

And this my sweets is the reason why I have not blogged for 997 days.  Sorry.  I've missed you. But now I'm back, fully tomorrow, with a lovely little recipe that will knock your socks off.  But for now,  I'm going to go dance like I'm "Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, Dumb."  Until "I'm numb, numb numb, numb, numb, numb."

Cause Kesha is a genius (in Crazy Land - which is where I live), and she must have been writing this song just for me, and all other individuals who find great achievement in clean laundry and dancing like they're dumb.

Peace out peeps.  You're all superstars.  You gotta be who you are.

Orange Pound Cake with Fresh Orange Sauce

You may have noticed the cake appears to be upside down. It's not.  I like the hard crunchy bit
to remain on top. It's my favorite part.

Everybody has a super power.

Mine is, I'm a believer.

I believe in everybody, and I believe pretty much everything everyone tells me. Atleast once.

Many might say this is not an extraordinary trait.  Certainly not one to be proud of. In fact, on many occasions I have been called GULLABLE.

Which I am not.
