Love this damn thing

So, Sarah recently posted about her love for Pampered Chef products.  There is an item that Pampered Chef offers that helps me to make MY ABSOLUTELY FAVORITEST COMFORT food ever. Chicken Spaghetti People.  Chicken freaking Spaghetti.

So, here goes:

  1. Clean a raw 3 pound chicken raw/thawed and put in microwave, uncovered for 30 minutes.
  2. Once cooked, cover the chicken for 5 minutes (important step)
  3. De-bone and get all the good meat from the chicken
  4. Cook a whole box of spaghetti – drain
  5. Cut up half a box of 2% of Velveeta – dump in with the noodles
  6. Mix in a can of 99% FF Cream of Chicken Soup with the noodles
  7. Mix in a can of Rotel, I go for the mild (drain)
  8. After all of that is done–mix in that BADASS chicken.

I promise you your family and your taste buds with thank you.  And this is all brought to you by that damn covered baker–can’t live with out it.

Could these be anymore me?

I would wear these everywhere, including to work.  Puma has always been so good to me.  So if any of you would like to contribute to the help Court get a hundred dollar pair of shoes fund, I’m all for that.

Hump Day Happy Hour: Vodka Gimlet

A couple of weeks ago we did a post about our fav drink and that provoked some response from the readers on their favorites.  Well a lovely little lady turned me on to the Vodka Gimlet.  LOVE Em’

1 1/2 oz. vodka

1 oz. Lime Juice

Stir all ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and serve.

I’m not sure if it had to do with the amount of gimlets i consumed, but by the end of the night I was yelling and laughing GIMLET GRAVY repeatedly.  That might just be a side effect of the drink.   🙂

Do I Need One of These?

I used to love the HELL out of my cheesy ass beanbag.  I literally loved it to death.  Beans (white Styrofoam pellets) EVERYWHERE.  After that,  I’m pretty certain of a couple of things:

#1 I got cooler.  #2 beanbags stayed the same level of coolness and/or dropped.

BUT…what I’m finding is that they’ve made a comeback?  Or maybe got cooler?  When did this happen?  You tell me, do I need one of these?

  1. FatBoy Bean Bag
  2. Modern Print Bag
  3. Junior Bean Bag
  4. SuperSac – ok, so this thing may be cool, but it’s also an 800 dollar bean bag.  This had better be the COOLEST DAMNED BEAN BAG TO EVER LIVE.
  5. PillowSac

Foot note:  Also tell me if I’ve lost my damned mind loving on bean bags.
