Today's Tasks

I have now watched 3 of the 5 Oscar nominated films. I went to see "Slumdog Millionaire" today. I saw it at the older theatre in McKinney. I haven't been to that theatre since 2001 when I moved to McKinney for the first time. It is kind of shady, but super cheap, so I braved it and went. I was able to see the movie for $3.25!


My Aunt Amy e-mailed me today and said that she enjoys reading my blog and said she can't believe how much I get done. This kind of made me laugh because most of the time I think to myself that I can't believe how little I actually get done! So, after the movie, I felt like I really did need to accomplish something today so that I lived up to the pat on the back my Aunt had passed along via e-mail. I decided to organize my kitchen pantry. I'm sure that you have NO interest in seeing my photos of my pantry, but here they are, posted anyway...


How embarrassing! I can't believe I'm posting a "Before" photo!
But really, you needed to be able to compare the before and after photos...


Two garbage bags full of outdated food and one and a half trash cans full of recyclables later, here is the finished product!
You really need to see the close-ups to appreciate how organized I am now.

Yes those are the reduced sugar frosted flakes up there, I have discovered that with a couple of teaspoons of sugar on them, they are edible!

I purchased a couple of spice rack shelves to help me organize my canned goods, etc. Pretty good idea if I do say so myself!

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right?  Well holy moly folks!  Today a big secret was released to the press.  No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress!  Here are some of the pictures and sketches... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress And you know what?  I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore!  I know, I know.  I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips.  Nope.  Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination.  What is my favorite?  Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew... It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout.  Also on the train it had an &quo
