Mariah... but not like Mariah Carey

shiningstar:

That my job gives me moments of pure, unadulterated joy.  So I feel justified (and slightly less like a douche) by sharing the craziness of this week with you all.  This week I interviewed the cast of Glee, Lady Gaga, OneRepublic, AND found out that I am (drumroll please) going to be interviewing MAH BOO ADAM LAMBERT!!! I know your first thought is to call his team immediately and warn him that a mad woman is coming for him, but that will not be necessary.  I am going to be armed with sedatives and a reserve of depends just in case I completely lose control of my faculties when he walks into the room.

But for reals though, I have met people I would die for before (Robin Thicke, Tina Fey, Sarah Michelle Gellar) and have held it together really well.

So.. pretty much I am holding my breath til the day comes that I get GLAMORIZED.

So much joy!

How exciting for you!  I don’t really watch AI, but my mom was obsessed with Adam last season - it was so cute!  I saw a few of his performances and he is great.  Good Luck!

Ah!  My sister’s wedding photographer posted some of her pictures on facebook.  This one is my favorite so far, but I can’t wait to see the rest!

It’s gonna be a good Friday night :)

“I’m sexy, I’m cute, I’m popular to boot. I’m bitchin’, great hair, the boys all love to stare. I’m wanted, I’m hot, I’m everything you’re not. I’m pretty, I’m cool, I dominate the school! Who am I? Just guess! Guys wanna touch my chest! I’m rockin’, I smile, and many think I’m vile. I’m flyin’, I jump. You can look but don’t you hump. I’m major! I roar! I swear I’m not a whore! We cheer and we lead! We act like we’re on speed. Hate us cause we’re beautiful, well we don’t like you either. We’re cheerleaders! We are cheerleaders!”

Bring It On (2000)

yeah, unlike Legally Blonde this movie doesn’t even have a faux-empowering message I can facetiously use in my defense of my unabashed love for it. though now that i think about it, it does teach girls the very important message that white people stealing artistically from black people is wrong, and also that appropriation is not as good as authentic art.

BRR. IT’S COLD IN HERE. THERE MUST BE SOME TOROS IN THE ATMOSPHERE.

“Sturgis Kicked Up Gameday Dip”-Spicy Southwest Cheese Dip

Last week the Florida Gators sent the Georgia Bulldogs home with their tails between their legs.  During the game, Caleb Sturgis made a 56-yard field goal, a career best.  So this week, the Gator Gameday Grub is celebrating Caleb Sturgis and his 56-yarder.

This week as we face Vanderbilt, the Gators are hope to continue their winning streak and continue on the road to a perfect season. For all of your Gator Sports news, be sure to check out ONLY GATORS!

What you need:

1 Brick of Cream Cheese (1/3 less fat)

1/2 cup Taco Sauce (You may want to add more depending upon how strong of a flavor you want)

1/2 cup + more to sprinkle on top Mexi-cheese (the kind that has taco seasoning in it)

1/4 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese (or Monterey Jack)

1 small tomato (drained and chopped)

1/2-3/4 cup Black Beans (rinsed)

1/2 small Onion (chopped)

1/2 cup Yellow Corn

1/4 cup Jalapenos (chopped)

Set oven or toaster oven to 375 degrees

1. In a mixing bowl, add cream cheese and taco sauce.  Mix well, if available, use a hand mixer for a creamy texture.

2. Fold in shredded cheeses, black beans, jalapenos, corn and onions.

3. Pour mixture into a oven safe bowl. Then top with shredded cheese and chopped tomatoes.

4. Place in oven for about 10-15 minutes.  At the last two minutes, kick the oven up to broil so that cheese can crisp.  Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips or carrots!

We have a great list there, so If you haven’t tried them, please do.  Then come back and review them with us in the BBL Reviews section, let other and the breweries know what you think.

there is a lot of great beer on this list.  i truly can’t disagree with that #1 either.

I’ve crossed off the beers I’ve tried.  I’m not that big on hoppy beers, which most of these on the list are, so many were just a sample.

Want to get my hands on: the Rock Bottom Scotch Ale, the Sprecher Pizza Beer and the Lazy Mutt Farmhouse Ale.

did anyone else know that there was a restaurant at the dane county regional airport (that’s the small one off of hwy 51 with the small runways) called pat o’malley’s jet room?  madison a-z did a review and i am stoked about this place.  i love diners and it sounds like the jet room does it right.

homemade biscuits, french toast, omelettes, and diner coffee - i’ll take two of each.

A friend was just telling me about the restaurant at the airport!  Now with two good recommendations (and a look at the menu) - I’m there.

SO MUCH BUTTER!!!  Looks delicious nonetheless - I’ll be making these soon :)

S’more Brownies!!

The recipe we’ve all been waiting for…the delicious ooey-gooey texture of the campground: the s’more! I can’t wait to make these…they look delicious and I bet everyone will love them. They are simple to make and would be a great autumn/winter treat with a steaming cup of cocoa, coffee, or cider!

Ingredients

Crust:

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• Pinch fine salt

Brownie:

• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 4 large cold eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

Topping:

• 4 cups large marshmallows

Directions

Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8 by-8-inch square baking pan with foil so it hangs over the edges by about 1 inch.

For the crust: Lightly butter the foil with some of the melted butter. Stir the rest of the butter together with the crumbs, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Press the crumb mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the brownie. Put the butter and chocolate in a medium microwave safe bowl. Melt in the microwave on 75 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir, and microwave again until completely melted, about 2 minutes more. Alternatively, put the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with 1 inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan without touching the water. Stir occasionally until melted. Stir the light brown and white sugars, vanilla and salt into the melted chocolate. Add the eggs and beat vigorously to make a thick and glossy batter. Add the flour and stir until just incorporated.

Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the top is crispy and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean, with a few crumbs, about 40 to 45 minutes.

Remove from the oven and carefully position a rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat on low. Layer marshmallows across the top and toast under the broiler until golden, (keep an eye on it, it can go quick), about 2 minutes. Cool on a rack, gently removing the brownies from the pan using the aluminum flaps. Carefully separate any marshmallow from the foil and fold away. Cut into 12 (2-inch) squares.

Agreed.  There are too many young people coming of (voting) age who think absolutely the opposite of their parents’ generation on this issue.  It’s taking too long, but change is coming.
