Teenage chocolate ninja turtles – Heroes on a half spoon!

Nablopomo – Favorite candy – Chocolate

Chocolate pecan and pretzel turtles that really look like turtles

Adorable, no? As if candy turtles could get any better beyond their pecan caramely chocolatey goodness, then somebody had to go and add turtle heads.

That somebody was Robin Sue from Big Red Kitchen, and if you read her About Me section, you can get a great sense of how funny and awesome she is in both the kitchen and her blog writing. Here is where I tried to sum up the variety of recipes and stories she posts in a single line and well, it just wasn’t happening because there’s too much to say….so just go look. :P

And then she does stuff like this that really tickles my fancy. Do you see that tail??  Her tutorial gives the full low-down on how to do it and with even more adorable pictures than the teasers I gave you here. Look at those faces!

Nablopomo – TV Show

Really? More favorites tv-related stuff? Meh. I’m not a big tv viewer, but a recent article did catch my attention. It’s not something that I would normally post, but come on….is this quirky or not? ha

Check out the article here for the full, somewhat graphic, not safe for work or kids, description of why Paula took top spot.

“Just imagining the slippery, sloppy butter….. hungry for a bacon-wrapped, beer batter-fried stick of butter ….”

Okay Maxim, time to turn off the Food Network and walk away…

Nablopomo – Favorite animated character

Yay, time for some cartoon fun. I don’t have a favorite, but here are some other people’s creations related to some cartoons I would’ve watched in mostly the 80s. (The picture above is mostly 90s toons that my sister would’ve watched instead, but I thought it was a cool collection of cupcakes).

Bugs Bunny Sandwich – Did you know they brought Bugs back?? In 2011, they have a new show called The Looney Tunes Show where Bugs and Daffy are living together in LA and all their neighbors are other toons from the original shows from long ago. I haven’t brought myself to actually watch it yet.
