So, I just have to share with everyone the awesomeness that is Sweet Spot Cupcakes, just so ya’ll will be jealous of me when I fall into the best sugar-induced coma ever.
From top to bottom are: Bubblegum, Chocolate Cherry and Triple Treat (strawberry icing FTW!)
Okay, NOW you can have a good weekend!
A couple weeks ago, I posted about my horrific failure at soup making. After gathering my food-esteem up off the ground, I figured I’d give it another shot!
This time, it worked out beautifully! I didn’t use the whine wine vinegar (or any wine, even) and instead of using our little Magic Bullet to blend up the soup, I used our BRAND NEW BLENDER!!!
Will it blend, that is the question!
Kyle and I have been saving up Save On More points since we fist moved to Kamloops almost six years ago and we finally decided to use them on a household item! How grown-up of us, right? I thought so!
So since the blender came it just in time for my day off, I figured I’d put it to use and retry the soup. It turned out good! It was missing something but I couldn’t figure out what. Anyway, it was great and I even garnished it with a little Parmesan cheese. Yum! (Cheese makes everything amazing, BTW).
Roasted Garlic Soup!
Oh, and did I mention the blender lights up when it’s on? Oh yeah!
Who wouldn't want a blender that turns blue?
I now leave you with my favourite “Will it Blend” video. Happy weekend!
I recently read a Tweet by a Muchmusic personality who referred to Vancouver as Vancity. Newsflash, people who are not from BC: Vancity is a freaking bank. A BANK! So stop calling it “Vancity”. I know many locals who HATE hearing their home called Vancity. I think from now on I’m going to ask people if they’re going to the bank. Ha.
Anyway, my point is, sometimes nicknames bother me. For example, some people refer to Kamloops as “The Loops”. I don’t get it. There are no “loops” here. The name of the city is the English version of the local native phrase “meeting of the waters.” Is it really do hard to just call it by it’s full name? And what’s with people calling their parents their ‘Rents? Calling them that isn’t going to make them sound any cooler, or make you cooler. Sorry.
Perhaps I’m just being weird. I’ve never had a nickname that people call me by regularly, except for maybe my last name, or my first and last name said together really fast. (Apparently they roll off the tongue nice). And then there’s this guy who calls me “Girl”, “Sweety” or “Dear” whenever he sees me. It makes me want to vomit in my mouth. The only person who’s allowed to call me “Dear” is Kyle, and for obvious reasons.
I hate it when people randomly give me a nickname even though I don’t know them from Adam. Or when they call me something that the mean kids called me when I was little. (You’ll know when you do when I threaten to stab you.)
So, sorry for the rant, but really … what’s with nicknames? Do you have one that you can’t stand and just wish people would just drop already?
