Washing Elephants

Well, it's still HOT! I'm sure you are sick of hearing about it, but I'm sick of it being HOT!

Today, I ventured out into the heat to take my friend Billy to lunch for his birthday. I told him he could choose where we were going (since it was his birthday and all) and I would try really hard not to veto his choice. He speculated this meant I would only veto about 11 of his choices instead of the usual 20 vetos, but actually, he selected Pappadeaux, so there was NO veto!

On another note, I found a deal on my favorite cherries at Sam's. I LOVE Ranier cherries, but they usually cost a mint. I found a 2 lb package at Sam's that cost about the same or a little less than 1 lb. usually costs.
Look at these babies!
JOY!!! These perfect cherries bring me joy.
What doesn't bring me joy is laundry. As usual, there is plenty of that to go around. Today I decided that some of Lola's toys needed washing. Specifically, her 3 identical pink elephants (though I think she finds each one to be very unique because she always insists on having all 3 out at once) and her little mini (a little dog that looks like her).
Since Lola's babies were being washed, I got a help with the laundry today.
Keep going, you are not finished Lola
*yawn* Oh Lola, you can't be tired already!
Yep, she's tired already. So much for the help!
Clean elephants = Happy puppy

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
