A Noon Surprise

I've got a question for you... It is noon on a Monday, do you know where your husband is?

I ask this odd questions because I saw the darnedest thing yesterday! First a little background. My law partner Jennifer and her husband Kyle are about to celebrate their 4th Anniversary. Jennifer has been trying to figure out what to get Kyle for their Anniversary and had decided on a cigar lighter (apparently he has decided that he likes to smoke Cigars from time to time). There is a new cigar store in our neck of the woods, so we stopped in...on a Monday... at 12:05.

We walked in and found 6 men there, none appearing to be there with each other. They were sitting in the these black leather chairs smoking cigars. Some had coffee. Some were chatting. Some talking on their phones. Some watching TV. Some on their laptops. I never in a million years would have guessed that this is what I would see on a Monday... at noon... in a Cigar shop... in the suburbs! They had quite the set up at thsi shop too. Big screen tv's, a pool table, wine and beer on tap. Silly me, I thought it was just a place that sold cigars and the odd accessory.

I exited as quickly as possible so that I didn't end up at my 2:00 meeting smelling like I'd smoked a stogy on my lunch hour!

I hate the smell of cigars...it makes me really sick. It is one of those strong smells that you either REALLY love or REALLY hate.

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
