Tuesday's Tidbits

Nothing too exciting to report around here, just a couple of random items...some involving reality tv, so if you're disgusted with me posting about it, please note that I'm equally disgusted with my watching it.  It's an addiction and I don't think I've hit rock bottom yet, so I'm not planning to get help any time soon.

(1) The Bachelorette:  I'm going to jump on the bandwagon of all those out there in blogville that think Chris is WAY TOO GOOD for Ali.  I hope she picks Roberto.  Don't get me wrong, there's nothin' wrong with Roberto, but I just think Chris deserves better.  I know he will be heartbroken, but he doesn't need all the tv/celebrity stuff in his seemingly normal life. 

(2) RHNJ:  I so wish they'd kick Danielle off.  Did you see today in the news that she has now turned on her  thug friend Danny and called the police on him.  Ugh!  Hate her!

(3) Real World:  Okay, so this is one that I stopped watching years ago when, in my opinion, it went downhill.  I probably thought it went downhill since I remember the early days: NYC, San Francisco, etc.  Well according to Lisa, this season is in New Orleans (again?  really MTV, there are some cities you haven't been to yet).  She says if you love NOLA like we do, it's worth watching an episode or two.  Apparently they have a to-die-for Garden District House.  I haven't caught an episode yet.

(4) Speaking of NOLA:  I think I mentioned last week that I was starting to plan a trip.  Well it's booked baby!  Abby and I are headed to the Big Easy mid-September.  I got a great hotel price (thanks to the uncle and his Marriott connections) and my parents' gave me their soon to expire Southwest free ticket, so I got my flight for $2.50 each way!  Can't beat that!  Now I'm trying to plan some activities and oh so fabulous restaurants, so that I can break first-timer Abby in right!

(5) I have to go to Dallas tomorrow.  We are set for a jury trial.  I hate going to court in Dallas.  It's like traveling to a third world country...you might get robbed, see things that are sad, and you might pick up a communicable disease.

(6) Have you heard the reports that there have been sightings of two tigers on the loose in downtown Dallas?  That's what the news is reporting.  Jennifer thinks it is the least of our problems (see #5).

(7) Tonight is another 4 hour marathon night of school.  I like teaching, but 4 hours is just a total whipping.  After tonight, there's only 7 classes to go though!

(8) I officially started Christmas shopping today!  Only 158 days left, let the shopping begin!

I am also so over Danielle. I just fast forwarded through most of her stuff last night. So annoying. I had jury duty in Dallas and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. Everyone kept asking me "and why are you here?" Why do you think I am here?

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
