Red Shirt Sunday

Muffin' Makin' Hangover

Last night I played with my new Babycakes Cupcake Maker (see yesterday's post).  But today, I woke with a muffin' makin' hangover.  Neck sore, head pounding, as I did the zombie shuffle down the hall. 

Meanwhile, I dreamt of orange cranberry muffins, homemade tater tots and mini lemon pies.  All to be written and baked in my new machine.  But not right now, as I want to get dressed and maybe hit Dollar General for a few deals.  If you're headed there, you can snag a $5 off $25.

Friday Question: Culinary Gadgets

Check out my new Babycakes Cupcake Maker.  Tim found it yesterday at the thrift store for five bucks.  Not a dent on it and no bad smells.  Doesn't even look like they used it.

And I'll admit, prior to getting my Bella Waffle Stick Maker, I thought these novelty items, were silly.  Meanwhile, now I'm writing funky monkey waffle stick formulas, right and left and more so, loving every minute.

So for five bucks, we'll give this baby a go.  And, rather than go buy that classic round waffle maker, I talked about yesterday, we're going to hunt thrift stores and yard sales.

How about you?  Do you like to hunt for culinary gadgets at thrift stores and yard sales?  What's your best find?

PS: Yesterday, before Tim got home I found my old Chocolate Chunk Muffin formula.  Then Tim told me about this machine.  I love when stuff like that happens.

PPS: Have a yummy weekend and boogie boogie.

INNARDS

Spent yesterday redoing the innards of three bake cabinets.  Took awhile to reassign spaces but thankfully, everyone found a new home, including all those FREE paper towels.  I even reserved a spot for my upcoming purchase (w/coupon), for my new classic-style, round waffle maker.

Meanwhile, here's a funny bit that Alex left on Robyn's blog.  It's actors reading mean tweets about themselves.

Never let your voice put your face to sleep, is one of Tim's favorites.  Although his new word for the night is, dickturd.

Enjoy.

True or False?

Today's 4 Letter Word

Yesterday, the girls at the doctor's office gave me a bag of coupons and Tim came home with a stack of P&Gs that he garbage picked.  Which is perfect because today, it's my left leg elevated, spine resting, pups snoozing, Lemon Tart Room, coupons everywhere, and The Nanny on DVD.

Meanwhile, if you guessed that today was brought to you by the letter F, then you get a star on your forehead and an A on your paper.  Because these suckers, were FREE.  Plus, they gave me another $20 back in Shop Your Way Rewards.

I love that.

And now, it's time to heal and get clipping but first, I'll make a pot of good black coffee.  Only instead of creamer and sugar, I use real local maple syrup.  So flippin' good.

How is it Monday?

How is it Monday?  The staycation flew by.  Though the end of it didn't go all that great (see yesterday's post), the start of it was sure fun.  So much fun, that I want to incorporate more of that staycation feel, into our daily routine.

I say that every year, and for a little while it works, but before I know it, it's next year already and we're ripping the phone out of the wall and bolting the windows shut.

But today, the phones go back on, breakfast has been served and I'm about to prep for this week's coupon haul.  After that, I get cracked and have to rest for a wee bit.

Then if all goes well, off to the Big K to spend $25 in FREE money (rewards), only to have them put another $20 right back on my rewards card.

Zero OOP for me, and useful freebies for the house.  All in all, a good way to start a week.  Speaking of which, there's breakfast dishes that need done.  So best get to it.

Cheers and boogie boogie.

Staycation vs. The Bad Belly

Last day of staycation and thankfully we're both feeling better.  But I tell ya, it sucked that we got shot down in the end with a nasty tummy virus (Tim) and a whack-a-do spine (me).  Although, I still feel recharged and thankful.

As I write this post (outside and long-hand), Tim's at his desk calculating Manor sales, the pups are running around, and I'm about to take notes on a blueberry waffle formula I wrote today, using white rice flour and spelt.

I like how the white rice flour added an additional airiness.  But I'm off with regard to the liquid.  Next go, I'll take it down by 10-20ml, and see how that works.

Anyone who wants to try white rice flour (or any Bob's Red Mill product), click Bob's Red Mill and snag a coupon.

I also recommend the organic spelt.  As some of you know, I'm crazy for spelt.  Whatever I can put it in, I do.  I even use it to make gravies, sauces, leves, and goulash.

Love it.  Love the spelt.

And that my Buttfaces, concludes another broadcast day.  Thanks for reading and boogie boogie.
