New to My Fridge

Coke Vanilla Zero

Review: It’s very, very vanilla. It’s ok. I’ll finish what I have but I’m not sure I’ll buy more.

Go Delete This Movie From Your Netflix Q Right Now

LITTLE CHILDREN

It’s horrible.

I can almost always find at least something to take from a movie. Even if it’s only a psychological aspect – how the characters involved handled their situation.

But this movie gave nothing. The acting was fine, the actors were beautiful but it is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.

And, can I just say for the record, I don’t know a single mom who acts like those 3 stereotypes in this movie – and I know A LOT of moms. So, that pissed me off right from the start. And I could go on.

I couldn’t even finish it. I think I was very close to the end, but I just couldn’t go on with it. I was actually disgusted. Please, don’t waste your time, if you haven’t already.

Now, if you’ve seen this movie and had an opposite reaction than mine, I would sincerely love to hear why. Perhaps the ending resolved it? Perhaps you discovered something in the characters I didn’t? Please tell me. I almost feel bad for hating it.

Good Morning!

I’m seriously considering making this recipe, mostly just so I can gross you out, but I have a feeling that it will turn on me and I’ll get a bunch of comments like, “That looks delicious!! I would totally eat one of those!!” or something because you are all weird like that.

Maybe Evren Would Like That Broccoli Cake

We went out to eat tonight. When Evren discovered where we were headed, a tantrum promptly ensued, but not for any of the obvious possible reasons. This is what he was screaming…

“BUT I DON’T WANT TO EAT THERE!! THEY DON’T HAVE BROCCOLI AND I WANT BROCCOLI!! I WANT BROCCOLI FOR DINNER!! BROC-CO-LI!!! BROC-CO-LI!!!”

You’ve got to be kidding me. We did manage for the waitress to find some sort of mixed vegetable assortment, and did he eat the broccoli? Er, no. He ate all the green beans. His dinner was one slice of bacon, one small onion ring, about 5 green beans and half a glass of milk. And he was completely satisfied.

Summer TV

I was so worried that I wouldn’t have anything to Tivo for the next 3 months and then I discovered we’ve got another season of…

I’m Thinking This is Entirely Unnecessary

But you? Maybe you’re thinking, “You know? I always wanted to take the Krispy Kreme donut one step further.”

Ahhh….then may I introduce to you (not of my kitchen), the

Butter Fried Krispy Kreme Donut

Just as a precaution, you should wait near the phone for at least an hour after eating your donut — just in case a heart attack ensues.

Last Day of School Brownies

This recipe for Chewy S’Mores Brownies is super easy. It’s from the side of the Duncan Hines Family-Style Brownies. Basically, you just make the brownies as directed…then, when they come out of the oven, immediately dump 2 cups mini-marshmallows and 1 cup chocolate chips on top. Pop it back in the oven for 2 minutes. Then right when it comes out put the graham crackers on top and smush. Seemed like a no-fail operation to me. After they cool, cut into servings around the graham crackers.

Mine just came out of the oven.

And I didn’t have the exact ingredients. I had leftover graham crackers that turned out to be exactly enough, half a bag of chocolate chunks and about 8 large marshmallows. And ta-da!

Here’s a free tip: To cut large marshmallows, or any other sticky candy, into smaller pieces, spray non-stick cooking spray onto your kitchen shears. Seems I did learn something from all those years of watching the Food Network.

Update: The girls agreed to be the taste testers and I overheard them (I didn’t even ask, I swear!). Ayla’s friend M* said “These really are good, don’t ya think?!” and Ayla said, “No. Correction. They are great!” Evren opted for Skittles instead. So, I ate his and it really was good.
