I LOVE This Idea!

Make your own indoor mini s'mores grill??? Could it get any better? :)

Make your own by reading all you need to do here.

And just last week I saw this recipe, S'mores on a stick!


Anyone hungry? I know I am.

Remember When

To all the other 80's children out there, do you remember the Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine? :)


My sister and I soooooo had one of these! :) If I think about it, I can still hear the sound it made while trying to shave ice.

We had a freezer that made it's own ice into the shapes of something similar to an elongated, rounded triangle, if you can picture such. So we always had a hard time shaving the ice. I'm sure it would have worked much more effectiently had they been cubed pieces of ice. But of course, we didn't think about that then.

Wow! Memories are flooding my mind of my sister and I sitting on stools at the kitchen counter; one pushing down on Snoopy to press the ice and the other cranking the handle in the back as hard as possible. We'd have to hold the machine as close to the edge of the counter as possible because we never had any of those Dixie sized cups to catch the ice. So we had to use regular cups that were too large to place under the ice spout. Neither of us having the stamina or patience to fill a regular size cup, so the sno cones were never as satisfying as they looked on the box. Just a big cup with a small amount of shaved ice at the bottom, topped with cherry syrup that always turned our mouths as red as can be.

Wow, to be a kid again.... :)

Daily Funny: The Nubrella

Thanks to my friend Jennie, I have some fun stuff to share with you today.

Have you heard of the Nubrella? Apparently it's the umbrella of the 21st century.

I for one, however, would like to point out this invention's apparent downfall. (Besides the fact that we'd all be walking around looking like aliens.) Take notice of the picture of the man riding a bicycle wearing the Nubrella. Does he show up to work with nice, dry, inplace hair but a wet suit?

The Nubrella seems to not accomplish the one thing the umbrella does...protect your clothing as well.

Who knows, maybe these Numbrellas will catch on as quickly as the Segway did...hardly at all. :)
