Cheesy

So...On Saturday Andy and I went to my in-laws campground to hang out with them for a little bit and celebrate Mother's Day.While we were chillin', talking about camper stuff, The Cheeto Story came up in the conversation.Both Andy and I disagree as to who is at fault so I told my beloved hubba-bubba I would post the story and let you, MY friends decide.Pull up a chair, sofa or toilet and let me ta

Why do internet marketers insist on oh-so-recognizable cheese? By this I mean that it is perfectly possible to present honest, clear information about a good product, without the cheesy “squeeze page” with testimonials, etc. In the example presented here, for example, it is only when you get to the second page, where the product is laid in [...]

It can be nerve-wracking to start up a conversation with an attractive woman. She’s across the room, surrounded by a group of friends, as you desperately try to figure out what to say. But rather than make the right decision, you opt to No Tags

Solar power doesn't just have to be for them holier-than-thou green types, it can also be for the filthy rich—or for lovelorn poets. Art Center student Jiyeon Song made the One Day Poem Pavilion of boards with holes punched at different angles. Depending on the angle of the sun to the earth where the pavilion sits, different parts of the poem shine through. After about five hours, you will have the complete message. I just thought of something: This dot-matrix sundial technique could easily be used to make a solar "digital" clock, by showing times instead of stanzas. Calibration would be a bitch, but someone could do it. Phil Torrone, are you hearing me?? [Project Page via ]

Life presents us with lots of opportunities. We may find it difficult at times to decide whether to take them or just to forego them. I think this has been the constant theme of my life (and my blog entries). I must say, I don’t consider myself to be much of a risk-taker. I prefer [...]

Last week, on the first really beautiful and warm spring day we've had this year, Chicky and I had one of those rare mornings where I did very little yelling and lecturing and she did very little acting out. (Read: No tantrums! When does that ever happen?) (Uh, never.) It seems spring fever had affected us both very positively. So to capitalize on it all, we went out to the park and stayed

This chicken rice skillet dish was delicious. It's really creamy and more like a soup rather than a skillet dish. If you would like it a bit thicker, you may want to reduce the amount of water used. This chicken rice skillet dish is very quick and easy to make. A dish I will definitely make again. 2 tbs olive oil1 1/2 lbs. boneless chicken, cut up and cubed1 can chicken broth1 can condensed cream of chicken soup1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup1 cup water1 pkg (16 oz.) frozen mixed vegetables1 pkg Rice-a-Roni Creamy Four Cheese Rice1/2 tsp garlic powderBrown the chicken in olive oil in a large skillet.

I thought I'd share with everyone Mark Toth's (from the Manpower Employment Blawg) excellent thoughts on how not to get sued on April Fools' Day: Done right, workplace humor can be a great thing for employee morale. Done wrong, it can be a disaster. The idea is not to prohibit all workplace fun, jokes and pranks but rather to (1) help employees know where the line is and (2) take appropriate action if the line is crossed. Here's a simple solution: consider adopting a policy prohibiting "potentially unwelcome, offensive or harmful workplace jokes or pranks." Enforcing such a policy should be fairly straightforward. Pranks that involve any of the following should never be allowed: race, gender or other protected or physical characteristicthreatsphysical contact, including ingestio

I came up with this easy chicken primavera several weeks ago. I love the concept of this simple meal made with fresh or leftover chicken (I usually make it with leftovers). It is very easy to prepare on my stovetop in my large, enameled, cast iron dutch oven. (A recent birthday present from my sweetie!) I've made this easy, yummy dish several times since, and I'm looking forward to it again this week!One of the best things about being gluten free is that I learned how to make a roux. Basically, a roux can be the base of a creamy sauce, soup, gravy, etc... A roux is so easy and so helpful in cooking. I like knowing that I no longer have to depend on a can of Campbell's soup to make a meal. I am able make that "can of cream soup" all by myself, and it's so much better than the "can" ever was

Judging from the hits I get by people looking for Cheesy Potatoes, you all must be getting ready to make them this weekend! I have already posted a couple recipes for them and have also made it clear that this is a recipe you can change almost anything in and it will still turn out yummy! Don't be afraid of it.

"Hills" hottie Lauren Conrad was caught chilling outside the Urth Caffe yesterday afternoon as she chatted with a friend. She was wearing an interesting ensemble, composed of a shade-printed v-neckline dress overtop black tights, and smiling as usual.And according to a recent interview, this girl isn't looking to settle down anytime soon. At the season finale party for "The Hills" last week, she revealed that she'd rather play the field than get serious.LC told press, "I'm not really searching for anyone. I'm just going out and having fun. I'm not dating anyone"Conrad also confessed that cheesy lines are not the way to her heart. "I want one that comes up and approaches you but in a non-cheesy way"[source]Photo Credit: FlynetOnline.com

Some girls prefer to hear these things from a man and some don't. Even though its cheesy, still this lines could bring happiness to her.Just remember to know if your girl is into this kind of things. You could tell this pickup lines whenever you want whereever you want.(With hands on shoulders) Oh, those are shoulder blades, I thought they were wings.Am I dead, Angel? Cause this must be heaven!Are you lost ma'am? Because heaven is a long way from here.Are you O.K.? Because heaven is a long fall from here.(As s/he is leaving) Hey aren't you forgetting something? S/he: What? Me!Baby, somebody better call God, cuz he's missing an angel!Can I borrow a quarter? ["What for?"] I want to call my mom and tell her I just met the man/woman of my dreams. OR: I want to call your mother and thank her.Did it hurt? S/he: Did what hurt? When you fell out of heaven?Do you have a map? I just keep on getting lost in your eyes.Don't worry about it. Nothing that you've ever done before counts

I was in love with Mac and Cheese.Really, I was. Then came living gluten-free... and I said farewell to Mac and Cheese. I know, I know... there are rice pastas out there that are delicious (Tinkyada, I love you!) But as many times as I tried, I just couldn't replicate the delicious texture and taste of a big wonderful bowl of homemade "cheesy-noodley-goodness". But you know me... I'm a stubborn girl. Nan says so all the time. When it comes to cooking, I don't give up easily. When it comes to math, it's a whole different ballgame... A lot of families make homemade Macaroni and Cheese on Thanksgiving. My family never did. But that didn't stop us from eating it the rest of the year. And we ate the good stuff, right out of that pretty blue and yellow Kraft box. You know the kind I mean. With neon orange cheese sprinkles in a little foil-lined package to make that gooey cheese sauce. Seriously folks, it was tasty stuff! Today, I don't even have a box of Kraft in the house. I

You're in a club and you've spotted a drop dead gorgeous girl on the other side of the room - what are you going to do about it?For many men, their honest answer would be "nothing". They spend the evening rooted to the spot, pint in hand, staring through the crowds in the hopes that willpower alone will draw that hot chick closer. I don't need to tell you that this approach is doomed to failure - if there's one way to guarantee that nothing will happen with a girl, it's to do absolutely nothing to attract her.No, if you want a hot chick's name and number, the only way to get it is to go on over there and talk to her.But what if you believe that that's easier said than done?Approaching a woman unprepared can seem like a terrifying prospect. We know that we need to seem witty, smart and sexy if we're going to hold her attention, but we also know that our brains cannot be relied upon to present us in our best light. Faced with a gorgeous girl, addled with alcohol, and in the full

Recently, I have visited many blogs that include cheesy background music on its main page. I thought this feature is bothering me in many point of views. I just do not get it, why would people do such thing. In my humble opinion, that option is just making the loading time of the web pages getting more and more times then we have expected. I eventually contact the blogger and tell him/her about

This recipe is found all over the internet, cookbooks, recipe boxes, written on pieces of paper, and just made from memory as I think it's one of the most popular potato dishes there is. It's also one that easily is adapted to whatever you may or may not have on hand to add. Versatile dishes like this are a lifesaver to busy Moms everywhere!

In one of my latest posts I tried to explain how to change a free wordpress theme in to your personalized wordpress design. Actually it is nothing more than changing the background colors of the images used in your theme but there is more than that. You try to play around with colors for your theme and your blog still looks cheesy. (You can check my blog’s previous designs from evolution page). That’s because you don’t have an artist’s eye (It is something however, there are many bloggers who can’t even understand their blog looks cheesy). You have to look for more if you want to give your blog a professional design. You have to know how the colors interact with each other and how they will look as parts of a whole piece. Don’t Panic! There is an easy way to do that also. If you don’t have an artist’s eye, you have to seek for an artist willing to share his/her perspective with you. Thanks to internet we can easily find many artists willi

But it definitely serves its purpose. Seriously, how many of these enthusiastic ass commercials are they going to the do for the Wii showing users completely engrossed with the Wii’s revolutionary movement based controls. Everyone knows by now that the Wii works that way, there is no longer a need to put emphasis on that Nintendo… But back to the game, which does look fun as hell. “Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3″ for the Nintendo Wii “delivers an extreme 3D fighting experience, with over 150 playable characters, enhanced fighting techniques, beautifully refined effects and shading techniques, making each character’s effects more realistic, and over 20 battle stages, check out some footage of the aforementioned fervent gamers playing after the break.

This dish is a marriage between this and this. The kids love croquettes and they love this new dish the most, especially the girl because she refused to eat her rice. All she wanted was these balls. And she had four of them!I did a batch without the cheese inside because my son didn't like cheese 'cooked' and he will simply refuse to eat the food with cheese in it. Yap, he doesn't eat pizza as well. Anyway, those without cheese taste just as good.Ingredients (A): 3 medium Potatoes, cooked and mashed 1 small Onion, diced 1 canned Tuna, drained 1 tablespoon Coriander or Spring Onion, chopped finely 1 Egg, beaten Salt to taste a dash of Pepper Ingredients (B): Cheese of your choice, I used Laughing Cow Party Cubes All purpose flour for dusting 1 Egg, beaten Breadcrumbs Oil for frying How to do it: Put all ingredients (A) together in a bowl. Mix till well combined. Take some mixture and flatten in your palm. Put a piece of cheese in the middle. Cover the cheese by working the mixture o

Recently, I became entranced with the idea of entering the Royal Foodie Joust, details about which you can learn about here. I reasoned that it would be sort of like a small-scale, low-stress version of competing on “Iron Chef” only with three ingredients. I also thought that the three ingredients for the August Joust (honey, peaches and eggs) lent themselves nicely to the season, and to baking, which I love. Which is why I decided to make ice cream, which I have never done, despite the fact that I have no ice cream maker. Why just make a cobbler, cake, tart or muffins when I could strike out and try something new? Besides, I’ve been reading David Liebovitz’s blog and various articles about him, and it just seemed so easy, so natural to whip up a batch of ice cream to delight family and friends. (Note: this disaster is in no way attributable to Mr. Liebovitz, who clearly would have had the good sense not to do what I did). First, I found a recipe on-line for i

I love prawns and cheese and the both together! I experimented with the for a few times already and each time, it tasted yummy!My first try was with spring roll skin. It was crunchy! But I have to use larger prawns otherwise each bite was more spring roll skin than prawn. Lucky, I had cheese so the cheese stay for my 2nd try. This time with Rice Paper. It's better but I have to be careful when frying them because the skin breaks easily and I had a few that had the cheese oozing out while they were still bathing in hot oil. The sucessful one were delicious because the skin was very thin and very crunchy!This time I made using Beancurd Skin. Hmm ... look at the results! Be careful when you bite this! Don't let the oozing cheese burn your tongue!Ingredients:Medium to Large Prawns, shells removed leaving the tails onBeancurd Skin, rinsed with water briefly and water squeezed outCheeseCornflourOil for fryingHow to do it:Put a skewer through the prawns so they are all straighten.Blanch til

Most times the news is pretty depressing but every once in awhile you come across something that is just too good not to share with the rest of the blogosphere. Just watch this video and you'll see what I mean. Yes, they said CHEESE. These people are flinging themselves down a hill to win a cheese wheel or small cash prize. Did you notice that they have a Men’s and Women’s competition?

My brain is fully saturated. I don't ant to look at another pharmacology book, EVER again.Okla... Maybe that was a bit exagerated. :P I still have half of the module to cover.

This afternoon, I watched Paul O’Grady do a piece on his TV show about the archaic British sport of Cheese Tossing, in which, contestants are given a large cheese and then asked to toss it. I found this quite enlightening as, up until now, I had always thought that it was after (not before) tossing [...]

In the process of talking about the theme of a kitchen, I encourage my clients to express themselves, who they are, in the kitchen. We are passionate about so many things and why not celebrate and surround ourselves with what we are passion about...like cheese!? This family from the U.K. designed their kitchen around their love of Stilton cheese. I think it's fantastic (it helps if you are passionate about something that looks good!) Here's the cheesy kitchen design story.Good for them!

Hi!  Come on in!  Today I'm playing along with BooMama's Christmas Tour Of Homes, in which we all show pictures of the spectacular adequate things we do to our homes for the holidays.  (To make this page load faster I'm including smaller, thumbnail photos; you can click on them for the bigger version, if you're so inclined.) So...here we go.... Here's our front door.  Notice the wreath, and also notice the stack of Thanksgiving decorations that have been piled by my front door for three weeks.  And the dead mums.  We are a class act around here. Next is our foyer.  In past years, I've put garland and bows all the way up the banister, but not this year.  So, let's just use our imagination and pretend they're there, okay?  See that oh-so-kitschy little snowman on the front table?  He's got little fiber-optic cables all over him and he changes color when he's plugged in.  My kids love it. A FIBER-OPTIC SNOWMAN!
