Two peas in a pod walk into a kitchen
Nablopomo – A couple – (Like two peas in a pod, no?)
These salt and pepper shakers are just the cutest little couple for a quirky kitchen.
Unfortunately, while I was looking for other cute pea pod products, I found several listed in a Serious Eats article about Toy Story 3 plushies and some are definitely more disturbing than adorable. Like this dog costume:
Really? Had I not said that’s supposed to be “two peas in a pod,” would you have been able to guess it as such? Yikes.
Here, have a couple better ones to make up for it. I found some other great ideas like candles and cupcakes that used the old saying, too, so if you know any couples or best friends that are like two peas in a pod, take the saying and run with it!
Lolcats discuss the difference between want and need
Nablopomo – Something I need
Unlike wants, needs are a little harder to pinpoint sometimes. Does that kitty really need more marshmallows? Nah. :P Does he really, really, really want them? Oh yeah!
Right now, I completely sympathize with that last kitty. Sometimes, a craving is so intense that you just need it.
I think these little guys may not realize the difference between want and need.
How to puree pumpkin – Throw it across the yard!
NaBloPoMo – Something you miss
No Mom, we didn’t break any windows, as evidence by your door still being intact and none of us getting into big trouble when you got home that day. :P
In fact, I believe that particular sugar pumpkin ended up in the pool actually….and this was just a funky angle of picture, making it look like it’s going the other direction.
There are a lot of things I miss, but this is a perfect example of something I wish I’d spent more time doing and still had access to doing now. Who else could I spend so much time throwing pumpkins with?
A few years ago, I discovered the wonders of pumpkin puree, so last year, instead of just grabbing a few pumpkins for jack-o-lanterns, my mom bought, oh, about 12 pumpkins for me. Awesome, no?
Unfortunately, opening up lots of pumpkins with a butcher knife isn’t quite as easy or fast as you might think. The year before, I did drop a couple pumpkins off our porch to get them cracked a bit, but that just wasn’t going to cut it last year.
Instead, I gathered the girls, mostly still in their pj’s, and we threw them all over the back patio area. Pumpkin seeds and guts were everywhere, including in the pool.
If you can’t tell, it was an absolute blast.
Even Buddy enjoyed it, stealing the pumpkin stems, chewing on them like bones, and attempting to bury them after playing fetch for a while.
After all the pumpkins were sufficiently broken, we separated all the seeds into a bowl and I spent the afternoon washing, baking, pureeing, and freezing pumpkin before roasting up all the seeds.
(Shockingly enough, that is *not* all the pictures I took. To see more mad pumpkin throwing skills, clicky here for the QC photo album.)
