Raisin cookies are just wrong

cookies, humor | October 29, 2012 | By

Sign that says "Raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip cookies are the reason I have trust issues."

And that is exactly the reason why.

Even if I really, really liked raisin cookies, they would be wrong. I have had some great oatmeal raisin cookies, for example…. but they were only good because I knew in advance that’s what I was being given.

There is almost nothing worse than being at an event, grabbing what appears to be the perfect chocolate chip cookie, taking the first bite….and *squish.” Instead of delicious chocolatey goodness, it’s nothing but chewy dehydrated healthy-wanna-be raisins. Booooo!

Halloween pumpkin cheeseball with Doritos

Dorito cheeseball that looks like an orange pumpkin or jackolantern for Halloween with a green bell pepper stem for the top

Really, can you imagine a better food to create that bright fake orange color? Cheetos might give it a run for its money, but once crushed, I don’t know how well it would stick. I guess maybe the powered cheese from boxed macaroni and cheese might work, too?

Either way, you know my love for cheeseballs, so this one gets added to the list. It’s simple, but clever, and the bell pepper stem is perfect for making it into a miniature pumpkin. I might be tempted to add pepper cutouts for a jack-o-lantern face, though.

Cupcake nail art

art, cupcakes, videos | October 25, 2012 | By

Unlike my previous nail art post that featured food, this is a single video. It’s a full tutorial that shows how to make the various cupakes and sprinkles nails. I much prefer the smiley cupcakes than the others, but it’s a bit more detailed and time consuming.
