Lack-Toes Intolerant

So. What is new? Earlier today or yesterday I thought of something I could put in today's post but I of course, forgot. 

Well I bought a couple of books to read about starting/having a catering company and so far have gotten some good information. My favorite part about reading one of them is that it was published in 1991. Before the internet and before everyone owned computers. My favorite line so far is "if you want to, you can even spend a little extra for a laptop with a color screen." I laughed and laughed and laughed. The book is useful but could really use some updates.

So speaking of catering, I cooked up something tasty that I intend to have as an appetizer choice:
Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

I've served these at one of my restaurant jobs and, as long as they're hot, enough they are pretty tasty. 

I decided that I wanted to make them myself and that they would probably be even better.

I still haven't remembered what it was I was going to talk about so I'm gonna wrap this up. Have a good week!

 

 

Just in from My Grandpa Box

So I was all amped up to get this post done, then I got distracted and now I'm tired and don't want to.

Let's just do the recipe and comics and move on with our lives eh?

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

Yes, these are very simple but maybe you didn't want to have to type all those letters into google to find the recipe and luckily I'm bringing it straight to you!

 

 

 

Build Your Own Helicopter

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a good week cause here comes another one! It's weird how that happens EVERY week. 

Pretty much nothing new going on in my life, just hating the cold and all that. So for those of us in the North, here's a recipe that might warm us up a bit!

Caffe Latte

I decided to make myself one at home instead of hitting up Starbucks the other day and thought about how a bunch of people probably have espresso makers and don't quite know how to use it! Since I have been a "professional" barista, I thought I would enlighten my subscribers and Google searchers.

I can't think of anything else so have a good one!

<3 Pookie!

 

Apparently I am depressed all. the. time. [I'm not, I just like chocolate.]

I wonder if my friends would do this for me... doubt it.

2012

HAPPY NEW YEARRRRRR! Welcome all to 2012! Personally, the even years seem to go better than the odd ones so I am psyched! I would celebrate by watching 2012 but it's terrible and its about the end of the world, sorta. So instead I'm celebrating with this blog post and by being at work! ahhhH!!!!

And if you suggest seeing that "New Year's Eve" or whatever it is movie, I will find you and kill you just for suggesting it. Seriously, what were the ad wizards thinking on that one?

Not much else is going on, so, a recipe!
Shrimp Cocktail

I know it's not very complicated, but look how pretty it came out!



















Nothing much else going on. I hope you all rang in the New Year safely and fun-ly! Have a great week!

I Want to Make Gingerbread Houses

The past three days have left me emotionally and physically drained. Physical labor is sometimes the worst.

So, working more hours than I slept over the past three days has not left time for much else.

I plan to post a recipe sometime during the week since it's Sunday and I didn't post one yet. So, ya know, subscribe to Scrumptious Saturdays if you want to get it right away. Or wait till next week. Or both. 

So since all I did was work and sleep, (and play the new Zelda, it's awesome), I don't have much to say so have a good week and goodbye!

I'm Being Eaten by a Cookie Jar

Hello, hello! So I took a trip to Florida last week which you might have noticed if I was any good at posting between Monday and Friday. I really want to be, but just amn't (I know that's not a word but it should be). However I *expect* to compose a series of posts from my trip to Florida because of all the pretty pictures I took and the shenanigans I encountered. Or something. So look forward to THAT. I'm now wishing that I had taken better notes for comic strip ideas. 

Moving along. I finally revised Media Monday's day icon to reflect more than just TV. I know this is very exciting for all of you. Look for it tomorrow! Oh my I am boring myself. 

New recipe! I finally made cookies with the cookie cutter Kirsti sent me. So yeah its just a recipe for sugar cookies but sometimes they can suck and I will guarantee you that these are delicious!

Kangarookies

The looked less like dinosaurs once iced brown and with an eye. I advise you ice your sugar cookies anytime you make them even if they aren't animal shaped because it makes them even better. I also like to sprinkle them with sugar to make them sparkly.

And I believe that will be all for today. Have a great week and Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Coffee Break

GOOD MORNING! Okay I know it's not morning, unless you're reading this in the morning any day after I post this, in which case... whatever. Anyway. 

So something exciting and blog related I did was I made my very own font on my blog picture handwriting. I know aren't you jealous that YOU didn't spend the time to do the same? But it will make adding text to my pictures a million times easier which means more posts for you (in theory)! We'll see how that works out. So here's a sample of it:

Yeah it looks like I just wrote it but that's because I did, except only each letter once with no copy/pasting. I'm not completely happy with it and will probably tweek some letters at some point.

Also this week, I debuted my first comic strip. I've been wanting to do something like that with my pictures for a while now but couldn't figure out how to do that exactly until now. So get ready to be bombarded with comic versions of my hilarious one liners I will blow your minds with. I considered reposting the one from Thursday but decided to grace you with a new one instead! And then after today they will be separate from the Sunday comics. Also I'm taking suggestions for a name for my comic for when it becomes crazy popular and all the news papers want it.

Every workplace has one of these guys

So, I'm not really sure how it happened but I forgot to include my recipe link in last weeks post. What that means is TWO this week!
Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie

Just in time for Thanksgiving, this is the perfect combination of pumpkin pie and cheese cake! You get the best of both treats!

And this week's recipe:
Shrimp Cevice

I don't really have anything to say about this except that it's yummy :)

















That's all I can think of for now so I'm off! Have a fantastic week!

 

Look, A Cell Phone.

So what is going on in my little world? Actually a couple of interesting things...

First I was hired by my first official client to design blog graphics for dadtolibbs.com. He was referred to me when he saw and liked the header I made for Post Modern Talko.

I made him these two buttons! And while your marveling at my awesomeness, check out his blog! (And current giveaway)

I'm also going to be working on a header for his blog when I get the time to do it. If anyone else is interested in getting some graphic items for their blog (or anything else) go here.


Next up, look what I did the other day!

I'm a painting!

And its for sale on ebay if any one's interested. I'm gonna do some more in different sizes and characters and hope that they sell. I might open an etsy shop for them if I manage to make any kind of profit. And if any one here wants a specific character, I might be inclined to create it for you.

Okay, that's enough of me trying to sell you all stuff (not my original intention, it just kinda happened). Here's a recipe!

Peanut Butter Chai Cookies

Traditional peanut butter cookies with some chai tea mix and white chocolate chips for some gourmet style!

Use chunky peanut butter if you want peanut chunks in them too.

I believe that's it for this week. Also I'm SOOO close to finishing the visual part of (500) Days of Autumn. I don't have a photo for you though. Video to come by next week!!! Have a good one :)


OH! I also posted again on dailybooth. It's really lonely on there with no one to follow or be followed by so all of you with webcams on your computers should join up!

This is what having to go back to work after 4 unrequested days off looks like.

Hmmm my eyebrows don't match. I'll have to work on that.

After it took way to long to get my new modem to work I know exactly how this is...

So Much Pain

So here's the thing about banquet serving for weddings... when you only do it once every 4 weeks you find yourself in copious amounts of pain. Or at least a fair amount over widespread parts of your body. Including blisters on parts of your feet you wouldn't think would blister. 

Okay this post has gotten kinda gross. I should probably think of something to write about before telling you what my Scrumptious Saturday recipe was... hmmm yeah I got nothing. Deal with it.

This week I made... Bailey's Cookies!
They are super good, people said so. And they're made with Bailey's so how could they not be good?












So I think that's all for today. Have a great week!

If you can't tell... It's Garfield and Jon are under the couch.

That's how I feel too.
