Berries and Cherries and Random Stuff

Berries~

I'm not a fan of many different scents.  I probably have mentioned that before.  That being said, I'm obsessed with a Bath & Body Works hand soap!  It's one of their "Patriotic Scents" and it is called Blueberry Pancake...


I'm totally loving it.  They have these Patriotic Hand Soaps for $3 too, so it's a pretty sweet deal.  I do think that the Apple Pie scented ones are cuter looking (plus I like the Red better), but I personally didn't like the scent as well.

Cherries~

I'm LOVE Ranier Cherries.  They are kinda expensive, but I bought 2 pounds today at Sam's Club.  I decided to splurge because they are only available such a short period of time each summer.  I got into a conversation with the check-out girl about them.  Here's the conversation:

Her:  "Are those good?"
Me:  I think so.
Her:  Do they have a seed inside?
Me: Yes
Her: I don't like the ones that have seeds.
Me:  I think all cherries have seeds.
Her:  says nothing, but has perplexed look on her face.

Other Stuff~

(1) I've become super forgetful.  I had this conversation with my friend Suzanna today:

Suz:  Didn't you get some cupcakes recently from Gigi's?
Me:  No, never heard of it.
Suz:  You sure?
Me:  I think so.
Suz:  I thought Kati got you some from there.
Me:  No that was Nothing Bundt Cakes.
Suz:  No recently.  I thought I read about them on your blog.
Me:  Ohhhhh!  Right.  I think that was the place.  Is it on Lover's and Inwood? 
Suz:  Yes.
Me:  YES!  That was my new favorite cupcake place, but I had totally forgotten about them.
Suz:  Good think you blog about these things so I can remind you about them.

(2) I currently have 4 suitcases/bags out in my bedroom and bathroom.  I need to get with it and put this stuff away!

(3) I also need to go to the grocery store.  I would estimate that I haven't been in a month because I've been gone so much.  I just haven't been able to get the energy to go.  I will have to go tomorrow.  The good side of this situation has been that I have eaten my surplus of Lean Cuisines in my freezer.

(4) I think I'm loving the new Bravo show, "Million Dollar Decorators".  It was on Monday night.  Crazy how much money people spend!

(5) First I succumbed to the leggings fad.  Now, I've embraced the Maxi Dress.  Tonight I procured 2  maxi dresses.
They were on sale at Belk and I used a friend's 15% off coupon, so I got them for $18.50 each!

Love those cherries, too, love Gigi's, and love those dresses! :)

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
