Virtual GNO - 2010 & Big Bird's My Leader

Maybe my 9 year old watching "Clean House" with me isn't the best idea. Her first realization that her desk was a bit messy, and that she should clean it up, was a plus. I thought 'Yes! We're on the right track.' But now? I think I'll have to scale back on her viewing time. Last night she said to me, "You know, I really don't like this carpet. It's too rough. And the couches in the other room? *shaking head* I think we need some new ones". I'm not kidding. (I agree with her though). While I contemplate her latest redesign idea let's get started with our first Virtual Girls Night Out of 2010!

Time For A Cocktail!

Velvet Hammer
Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz. vodka

1/2 oz. cream
Directions:
In a shaker half full of ice, pour in 1 1/2 ounces of vodka, 1 ounce of crème de cacao, and 1/2 an ounce of cream. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Miss Poodle Perm, That's Me!

Jill of Scary Mommy is doing a linky post about school pictures. You know the ones, possibly you didn't smile a sweet smile, just the smirk of panic. Or you didn't know it was picture day because you had been out sick for a week and you show up in your most comfortable shirt and bed-head. (Yep. That happened to me. The smile was good though!) Well, my scanner isn't working or else I would post a particular picture from Freshman year. Since I don't have a visual, here's the story: I remember my first day of High School. Actually what I remember is the picture taken of me leaving for my first day of High School. I'm wearing a brave smile, but the hair, the hair , my hair style was a nightmare. My two best friends and I were going to be attending a High School out of our district. That was stressful enough. To add to this new-ness we wanted new looks as well. K. was going to sport the Argyle and Alligator shirt look. W. was going for 'All Monogram

My Questions Answered By Chef Pati Jinich - Video

Rob and I have been focusing on finding foods and spices that will help us take some weight off.  I've been slightly obsessed with staying on my exercise track (on week 8 now :->) and hope to get rid of this jiggly belly that has become wa-a-a-ay too comfortable on my body.  The older you get the harder it is to lose weight.  What I would say to my 40 year old self - 'See that pouch starting?  Do your crunches and planks now!  7 years from now it's going to get ugly !' I've found that spices cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and turmeric are noted to increase metabolism.  ( Yes please !)  After a good workout coconut water is more beneficial in regulating your electrolytes, and lower in calories, than sports drinks.  It also contains more potassium than other drinks which is an important component in helping to build muscle which, in turn, helps you burn more calories. And my most surprising discovery - eating avocados help burn belly fat! I&#
