Fingers Lost: Zero!

I got a food processor for Christmas.  I used it for the first time tonight.
Edamame hummus paired with spiced pita chips. Woot.

Thanksgiving Wrap-Up

As I mentioned earlier, I made a Thanksgiving dinner (minus the ham) for my parents, and it went off without a hitch. I owe most of my success to allrecipes.com, which I think is the greatest recipes resource, ever.  Not only can you search tens of thousands of recipes, you can sort them by rating, and convert [...]

Hunan Handshake

Watching the Colts game yesterday, I had a desire to make jalapeno poppers. I also have a desire not to get any fatter. So I made these alternative poppers by hungry-girl, who is the goddess of all things substitute. I noted the specific warning about handling jalapeno peppers — wash your hands, don’t touch your eyes, yada yada. Apparently rinsing out [...]

Welcome Back, Blogger

I am crabby.  I went to Trader Joe’s this morning and wanted to punch the cashier in the balls.
First of all —  I had just been to Marsh and witnessed their lack of any produce standard for their avocados.  But from experience, Joe’s has this nice little four-pack at a good price, and they ripen within a [...]

Vic-to-ry for R.H.S….

Put the following ingredients in:
1/3 cup prepared chili
1/4 cup shredded cheese
1/4 cup shredded lettuce

I had a craving for this earlier today and nothing else would suffice.  They used to serve this at my high school’s Friday night football games and [...]

While looking into hotel rates for a possible visit to best friend  up on Mackinac Island, I discovered that my FAVORITE fudge shoppe, Murray’s,  now conducts fudge orders ONLINE.
This could be bad, people. This could be very, very bad.

Pining for the moon…

**taps fingers idly on keyboard and stares blankly at screen**
What to discuss..what to discuss…
Oh. Ha.  I got my hair cut at a new place in town called — wait for it — Beaux Tangles. Go and support local business, ladies and fellas.  By “go” I mean 11th and Rogers and by “support” I mean only [...]

Open Letter to Hershey’s.

Dear Hershey’s:
FUCK YOU.
How do you possibly expect me to be bikini-ready by May 2 when you’ve recently introduced the KITKAT: MILKSHAKE, LIMITED EDITION!

You obviously want me to be scampering on Waikiki Beach like this:

HATE YOU. HATE YOU. HATE YOU.
Sincerely,
– Jenn

Let me go…I want to swim…free, like a slut. Free like a dirty slut.

Let’s get one thing straight: I’ve never had a fishstick in my life.

Fishsticks were not a part of my childhood like it was everyone else’s, so it seems.
In fact, I have gone 22-and-a-half-years with nary a fishstick!
So, without hope or agenda, I randomly picked up a box at Marsh today.
The result?
…yeah…… really wasn’t missing much on [...]

Running Down a Snack.

I just went down to the second-floor vending machine because I’ve exhausted the snack options up here on the fourth floor.  I literally spent about five minutes contemplating whether I should choose Cooler Ranch Doritos or Nacho Cheesier Doritos.  This is the type of decision-making that happens at the radio station at 1:41 am.  Problem solved [...]

Rain…I don’t mind….

I don’t care what anyone says — Oatmeal Creme Pies really can prove to be the edible bandage to life’s inevitable crappiness.
