Pinteresting Things I've Done

I've made quite a few dishes that I found on Pinterest recently.

I, unfortunately, did not take a photo of what mine looked like.... 

rest assured that the Pinterest photos look a thousand times better than what mine would've looked like!

::panko breaded baked zucchini sticks::

I thought these were REALLY good.

I didn't follow the directions exactly..

I didn't salt the zucchini and let it sit to rid it of excess liquid

{or whatever the reason is for salting}

I also didn't make the dip.

It looks amazing though.

{I didn't have a food processor when I made this... but I do now... so? perhaps the dip is in my future!}

::Cauliflower Pancakes::

I thought these were really good!

I didn't use  cayenne pepper in mine, but I put it in Jerk Faces.

He liked these as well.

I topped with a little more cheese.

::Pumpkin Lust Pie::

This was pretty good.

VERY easy to make.

It uses a seasonal pumpkin spice pudding.

{Who knew they made seasonal pudding??}

::Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars::

Jerk Face liked these.

I just thought they were okay.

{maybe if I added more caramel??}

::Salted Caramel Shortbread::

You need a candy thermometer for these!

I was pretty disappointed with these.

Mine didn't look anything like the photo.

{Maybe because I didn't follow the directions, and I made the caramel too early, and had to re-melt it?}

My caramel to shortbread ratio was off.

It was more of a thin topping of caramel.

boo.

{And I couldn't find flaky salt anywhere...  

and by "anywhere," I mean that neither Kroger nor Meijer had it}

And now, on to the only crafty thing I did from Pinterest recently:

I fell in love with these burlap stockings:

They sell them on Etsy.

But?

I got a sewing machine for Christmas last year, and I'm training to be a contestant on Project Runway.

{Look for me in 2022}

So I decided to tackle this project and make them myself.

I used a red felt for the lining, and the leftover burlap from my Pinteresting Basket project.

Then, I just added some Christmas glitz:

I even made one for Mojo:

And now for a little funny:

I am dedicating this pin to my parents.

They love Paula.

(who wouldn't?)

::Linking up::

What the Friday?!

{Just a reminder:}

..and now on with the show...

They're all over my house.
They are driving Mojo insane.
They are hors d'oeuvres for LB.
They are:

Asian Lady Beetle Bugs.

what the friday?!

I just don't get why they have to invade homes!
My mom told me that putting a dryer sheet in the window will keep them away.
Last year, my bedroom was swarming with them, and so I put one in the window.. I don't have any in my room... Guess I'll have to put one in every window...
::sigh::
Just when I thought my house was over it's high class and fancy ways...


Jerk Face came home with a cold last week.
I thought LB and I were going to successfully resist it.
unfortunately, LB fell to it's demise about Tuesday-ish, and now I'm getting it.
{just in time for the weekend}
what the friday?!
{the only good thing is that it is the weekend, and Jerk Face will be the one getting up with LB}
{however, she always seems to sleep pretty well on the weekends.}
what the friday?!
(is it wrong that I want Jerk Face to get a little dose of what I go through?)

Pinteresting funnies

I now have the Pinterest app on my phone.. I'm all sorts of high-tech and fancy!

I'm a self-diagnosed "Pinhead"

(I made that up... and I like it)

You can follow me here!

Here are a few pins that made me chuckle:

Tuesdays With LB ~ 9/27/11

LB escaped through the baby gate and into the kitchen the other day.

Looky Looky at what she's "playing" with...

Hey Everybody! Look what I brought!!!

Let's just close this. Don't want to miss this party.

Let's see if I can fool Mama into thinking I'm 21...

This is kind of heavy...

hm..

Let me just sit this over here...

Hmm... They're a little tricky to get out, huh?
LB! How many did you have??

Not THAT many, Mother.
Mind your business.

Always on me, that one.

Ahh! Let's just grab me a semi-cool brew...

Hey! Did you need one?

Let me just grab one here...

These are good! I think I'll have another one!

Did you want another one too?

::slurring her words now::
Mama! This is the BEST play time EVER!

Gees, LB. 

I'll never get nominated for Mother of the Year now.

Lush.

..Maybe I should have saved this post for my WTF?

(It's coming up Friday, if you'd like to link up!)

Saturday Morning Mess

Link Up Here

Ugh! I never cleaned up LB's toys last night...

So THIS is my Saturday morning scene:

(It's not like she wouldn't make the same disaster again today...)

*on another note*

I was also catching up with The Housewives....

Oh ladies!

You embarrass me so!

All of this (...can you actually call it singing?) singing...

The whole Melissa (NJ) 'wench' mess?!

LAUGHABLE!

(and clearly staged!)
"shh - shh! Listen to Mommy sing!"

....

The Classy Countess (NY) singing with Natalie Cole?

YIKES!
Just shoot me now!
I can't believe Natalie Cole let her sing with her!!!!

...

Speaking of NY...

Simon (nice pants?) too?!

*and why is he so mean this season?*

My goodness!

What does your Saturday look like?

Just Some Small Talk about sizes

I picked up a t-shirt at Sam's Club the other day. It's a Nicole Miller green t-shirt. (We're high class, fancy folk up in here.) I loved the color, but I couldn't try it on...  (I hate that...) ... but because I loved the color, and it was cheapish.. I threw caution to the wind and I grabbed it.
I had to try it on when I got home:


KSK: Does this shirt look okay?
Jerk Face: Yeah. Looks good.
KSK: I think it's a little big.. I wish I would've gotten a smaller size...
Jerk Face: What size is it? A medium?
KSK: Try extra large...
Jerk Face: What?! You should NEVER get an extra large! It's always WAY too big!
KSK: Didn't you just say that this shirt 'looks good'?? Did you forget that it's an extra large?
Jerk Face: ...
Jerk Face: Don't try to confuse me.
