i feel pretty certain that many of you chickadees are already tuned into the mahhhhhvelousness of this website. but for those of you who aren't, enjoy. i'm beyond thrilled this wasn't around while i was in college. here are two of my personal favorites:
(918): Do u have any bacon or vodka by chance a completely legitimate question, in my opinion
(215): Stoned at DSW. SO MANY SHOES! THEY'RE FREAKING ME OUT. although i prefer my mind-altering chemicals to be in liquid martini form, i can understand this feeling. i get overwhelmed while sober in dsw.

what's cooking wednesdays
nummy time! last week was insanely hectic, so the only cooking i did was on sunday. we had to celebrate mother's day a week early because of my little sister's summer work schedule. on the menu for dinner:
ina's steak with bernaise HEAVENLY!
roasted zucchini and potatoes with parmesan and herbs
green salad with mandarin oranges, candied almonds, and poppyseed vinaigrette
paula's not yo mama's banana pudding seriously...if you haven't made this yet, you should. it is knock-your-socks-off rich and delicious!
so the past two nights' dinners featured leftovers from sunday dinner. on the menu for the rest of the week:
tonight chicken and strawberry salad
tomorrow or friday this nom nom-sounding strawberry-avocado salsa over something....i will probably do halibut or something
sunday ina's spring risotto i saw her make this a few weeks ago and have been craving it ever since. i just adore risotto and all of these spring veggies, so i'm assuming the combo will be fabulous!
are you noticing a pattern here? between cooking light and my food network trinity {ina, giada, paula}, i will never run out of recipes. although maybe it's time for me to branch out...
happy hump day, chickadees!

holy mother of god
per-fec-tion. le sigh...she is stunning and i want her wardrobe. lindsay lohan, take note. THIS is how a starlet should dress. 29 April 2009
help!!
i am officially declaring hump day "what's cooking wednesdays", or wcw for short. as i posted about {a lot} last week, i am trying really hard to make myself a homecooked meal at least once a week {preferably twice a week}. this is not only to save a little cash in this crap-tastic economy, but because it's healthier and generally a helluva lot tastier than anything the restaurants around here can whip up. so wcw starts today. {p.s. i realize that the following does not involve cooking a meal for me, per se, but deal with it.}
once a month at work, someone brings in some sort of dessert and our office gathers around the upstairs conference table to celebrate all of the co-workers' birthdays during that month. i volunteered to bake for the month of may, which means in a little over a week, i have got to wow the colleagues.
the problem is, i'm having trouble deciding between three recipes. this is where you come in. i need your votes on which nom nom to make. or, if you think all of these are tote grody, by all means, chime in with a recipe of your own liking. here are the current candidates and my reasoning for/against each:
whew say that five times fast! i heart the flavor combination of lemon and blueberry and i have THE most adorable bundt cake pan that makes the cake look like a sunflower. it also got great reviews. that said, i'm not sure this is a crowd-pleaser...people tend to like frosting.
i heart coconut. i heart lime. i heart cupcakes. so going strictly based on what i like to eat, these are the frontrunners. it just seems so summery! but i worry about people not liking coconut...
another flava-flav combo that i heart. but there are people in our office who don't like chocolate {weirdos}.
so what are your thoughts? i'm leaning towards the cupcakes out of selfishness, but i could use an outside opinion. any other suggestions? help me!!

where have you been all my life?!
so i realize that this post admits that i am severely stuck in the 20th century when it comes to underpinnings, but so be it.
i have never really cared that much about underwear...panties, to be specific {you will NEVER hear me use that word again. it creeps me out}. i am very teeny with big boobs, so most of my underpinnings attention has been focused on finding the perfect bra. while i am still on the hunt, i have found one or two that do the job quite nicely. so i figured it was time to head south and find something equally pretty and functional for the other half of my underwear-wearing needs.
as luck would have it, i won a pair of hanky pankys at a bridal shower a few weeks ago. they were the prize for my embarrassing knowledge of celebrity couple gossip. i'm not proud of it, but at least it comes in handy sometimes :) anyhoo, this morning is the first time wearing them. and i am in LOVE!
why have i never purchased these before? i've heard other people talk about them, but i guess i always thought my trusty vicki's secret undies did their job. WRONG. hanky pankys are better. and worth their almost $20 price tag. they are so comfy and zexxy! i will be heading to my local lingerie store and stocking up ASAP. if you are like me and yet to make this discovery, i encourage you to purchase your first pair, post haste!!
on a separate note, i am apologizing in advance for what will be my lack of posts this week. i am extremely busy at work. i promise to be back in full force next week, hopefully with a drawer full of $100 worth of new undies :)
happy tuesday, chickadees!

watching this {maybe}
drinking {a lot} of this
feasting on this
