Themed cupcakes featuring Barack Obama make tasty Presidential treats
I’m a Republican. This election was particularly difficult for me, with many Democratic supporters, friends, co-workers and colleagues urging me to cross party lines and vote for the Obama/Biden ticket (especially Trish- Ms. Yes We Can).
I was hesitant at first, but these Obama Themed Cupcakes from Mrs. Beasley’s almost made me switch over. Go ahead, call me a traitor, Cindy McCain would’ve switched over too if she had tried one of these cupcakes. Read the rest of this entry »
Keurig and the coffee maker of my dreams
If I don’t have my coffee in the morning, I’m of no use to anyone. Don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, don’t breathe near me. Try it and beware of the Wrath of Linda. That’s right, it’s so bad, it’s italicized. Times are tight and I’m tired of spending gas on numerous coffee runs, so I’m thinking it’s time to invest in a new coffee maker that will keep me properly caffeinated. This Breville Keurig Single Cup Brewer from Green Mountain Coffee® isn’t just a coffee maker, it’s my coffee savior.

Gifts of peanut brittle for people you like
I heart Virginia. Arlington. The Virgina Tech Hokies. It’s common knowledge that Virginia Beach is for lovers. Apparently I didn’t get the memo because my travel companion was far from lovely and not the least bit lovable…and no, it wasn’t John McCain. It was no honeymoon, but taking a trip to the good ol’ Virginia Diner made it all worth it. I picked up tons of Peanut Brittle gifts for all of the people I did love. I should’ve gone to Virginia Beach with them. Read the rest of this entry »
A gift basket that’s affordable, and chock full of nuts
Gift baskets rule. Affordable gift baskets rule even more. Who doesn’t love receiving a gift basket filled with rich, decadent treats? If you know anyone, give them my address. I’d be more than happy to take those gift baskets off their hands, especially if it’s this Southern Pride Gift Basket from Savannah’s Candy Kitchen.

Enjoy some cheddar cheese popped popcorn featured in a Go Badgers popcorn container
Why are men like popcorn?
Because they satisfy you, but only for a little while.

It’s barbeque galore with barbecue ribs, sauce and all the fixings at the Hitching Post!
Once upon a time there was a boy named Bill. Bill liked his BBQ. In fact, as a tiny tot the tender age of six, he was aptly nicknamed Wild BBQ Bill. Bill loved all things barbeque… Barbeque ribs, barbeque chicken, barbeque wings, barbeque burgers, barbeque dogs, barbeque pork… barbeque corn nuts. If they made a barbeque flavored ice cream, our BBQ Bill would be serving himself a triple cone of it right now- with a cherry on top. In his time, BBQ Bill had personally taste-tested over ten thousand varieties of barbeque dishes. The only BBQ to truly capture BBQ Bill’s heart? The Barbeque galore and special sauce they’ve got over at the Hitching Post.

Popcorn tins, fruit gift baskets and treats, oh my!
Halloween is almost here, and I want candy. My personal trainer would probably advise against it, but what he doesn’t know can’t hurt me.

Get off my back, I’m ordering a super healthy Fruit Gift Basket overflowing with healthy oranges full of Vitamin C to go along with it. Read the rest of this entry »
Organic foods online rock my vegetarian world
I’m proud to be a Vegetarian. I treat my body like the temple it is and stay away from foods that have a face, or foods that are overly processed. That doesn’t mean I don’t get the odd craving for one of my old childhood staples every now and then. I get all my Organic Foods Online at Hodgson Mill, because I can pick up some old school food favorites made healthy like this yummy Whole Wheat Mac and Cheese. Read the rest of this entry »
My mother is a very sentimental woman. She’s always crying about something. Whether it’s a birthday, her grandkids growing like weeds, a sappy greeting card or if she’s chopping up an onion to put in a meatloaf…watch out, because here come the waterworks. When I saw these Onion Goggles from King Arthur Flour, I figured I could at least get her to stop crying in the kitchen.

My son’s Bar Mitzvah is coming up, and between finding the venue, practicing the Torah with him, and finding a dress to wear…I was hard up for favors. I didn’t think personalized yarmulkes would have the same effect as personalized booze, so stocking up on Personalized Wine Bottles from Signature Wines seemed like a grand idea.
