Bagel buoy boy – Summertime swimmer art
Now that I’m really inspecting and admiring this, the cream cheese does look a little gross, eh? Ah well, it’s still awesome!
Also, the recipe suggests adding nutella to the cream cheese for a darker skin complexion. I’m not sure I would’ve considered doing that at all, but I love the idea. <3
….and there’s the realization yet again that the simplest things make me giddy. To be sitting at my computer, smiling at a screen while I type, at the thought of adding chocolate to make a cream cheese swimmer a more accurate color for some people? Uh, yeah, I might have issues. Oops.
What do you do when you’re both hungry and cold? Nuggie to the rescue!
If you’ve been with me for a while, you know that one of my biggest site boosts (on QJ) came back when the Snuggie was introduced to our precious world….and it didn’t have a website. You know that I got a ton of traffic and lots of customer support questions after I wrote a quick post talking about how cult-like and stupid it was…..and it’s where Google pointed everyone. You know how ridiculous that is.
And if you haven’t been with me for a while, well, now you know. :P
The Snuggie, no matter how silly or randomly iconic it is for our generation, will always have a very strange soft spot in my heart.
Which means a food-related picture of the Nuggie makes me giggle a little more than the average person would.
Er, well, I probably giggle more anyway, right? So it makes me giggle even MORE than expected, because awww, snuggies….
Chocolate ice cubes – Spice up and choclify your drink
Oh yes they did. At first, I just thought it was a clever way of making chocolate milk. It’s definitely a great way to keep the milk cold all the way to the bottom instead of making it halfway through a glass and realizing it’s room temperature.
Instead, though, this isn’t just chocolate. This particular variety has dark chocolate and instant coffee with vanilla milk for a sweet treat instead of plain ol’ chocolate milk. It was also mentioned to play around with other ingredients like pepper for a kick of spice. Yum.
Chocolate ice
- 200ml milk
- 50ml water
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee (optional)
- 70g dark chocolate (66%)
Milk with Vanilla
- 600ml milk
- 60g sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
Full instructions for making each are at The Mixer. If Google doesn’t automatically translate it for you, there’s an option on the right-hand side to put it in English.
