The Sky Is Falling

Lisa stopped by my house on Saturday night to pick up her share of the Lemon Cupcakes I had made. I have to dole them out to everyone I know so that I don't eat all that I make, because I don't have the heart to throw them away.

Anyway, I was of course at the Bon Jovi concert and she let herself in. I get this text saying "something had shattered" in the kitchen, "maybe a light bulb". I immediately text back and ask if Lola is okay. Lisa said yes, she checked her paws and there were no cuts and that she had swept up the mess.

Then I started thinking... "maybe a light bulb"? How in the heck wouldn't you be able to tell if a light bulb had exploded. I mean heck, it wouldn't be illuminated, so it should be fairly obvious. Then I spent a fair amount of time worrying about whether there could still be a spark or a short and burn the house down. While a house burning down is BAD, of course my largest concern about this is Lola getting out. Anyway, I tried not to worry about it and really, once the concert got started, I was focusing elsewhere.

When I got home, Lola immediately acted traumatized. I picked her up and held her for a minute...hugging and kissing her the whole time (now the fact that she let me pick her up and hold her without growling is a sign she was a little scared because she doesnt' like being held). I went to the kitchen to investigate and sure enough, it was the darn light bulb.

See, I have these "new" kind that are suppose to be energy efficient, but I really hate them for various reasons. They have the little coil thing inside, but then are disguised to look like a real light bulb...


Now here is the one that "exploded"...

See, all the glass that surrounded it had exploded...

Thankfully nobody cut their paws!  I'm sure it scared poor Lola to death! I'm certain she thought, "The Sky is Falling, The Sky is Falling!".

On another note, I FINALLY watched Inglorious Basterds yesterday. I've had the darn movie since December 31st and just kept putting off watching it because frankly I don't like Quentin Tarantino movies. Oh My Gosh! I so, SO LOVED IT! It was bloody and violent as to be expected, but so freakin' hysterical. Loved Brad Pitt's character. Loved Brad Pitt. I watched it so that I could finally send it back and get another movie on Netflix, but I may have to watch it again!

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
