Pearl's First Trip to Disneyland: Part II

MONDAY After a great night of sleep, we headed down to the hotel restaurant for our complimentary breakfast of two eegs, breakfast potatoes, and bacon. The eggs and potatoes were good and hearty. The bacon was shitty and deep fried and grizzly. Gross. We finally made it to the park just after opening! This is the big exciting moment we've all been waiting for!!! And by "all", I mean everyone except Pearl. As you can see, she still wasn't sure about this whole "Disneyland" place. Once we passed the gates...

Pearl's First Trip to Disneyland: Part I

Two weeks ago was Pearl's 6th birthday. To celebrate not only her birthday (and her recent non-fear of grown ass adults in full body costumes), but also her cousin's birthday AND Boyfriend's birthday, we had planned to go Disneyland for over a year. If you've never been to Disneyland, here's the lay of the land: Downtown Disney: An outdoor shopping strip filled with overpriced Disney-themed paraphernalia and family dining establishments, located just outside of the park. It's open to the public and you don't need tickets to get in. Disneyland: ...

Jello Mold.

Have you ever seen a jello mold before? I went to a baby shower for a good friend a couple of weeks ago and they had two there. I don't remember seeing a jello mold ever before, but I have to admit, when I saw one of these I was pretty amazed. So, the first one seemed like a jazzed up, but still fairly standard version. It involved some kind of milk product (possibly condensed), which is what turned it white. Since I LOVE condensed milk, I went for it. The flavor was very mild and subtle and the texture was no different than normal...

I Should Have Brought Immodium...

I'm on a family vacation right now with Pearl and Boyfriend and Boyfriend's sister and her family. I was happily enjoying the Disneyland park when all of a sudden my stomach hit the switches and said "OH HELLS NO. You will NOT be having a good time on MY watch." Things went from 0 to 60 in record time and now here I am, laid out in the hotel room while the rest of the group enjoys all the amenities Walt Disney has to offer. While laying here I decided to look through the camera and pretend I'm not in diarrhea agony, daydream I'm actually back at the park, check out the shots I got. That's when I noticed something that I...

Semi-Homemade Taquitos.

Tonight I came home with an awful headache. I knew I needed to eat something, but I didn't feel like making much of an effort. So with a little help from Trader Joe... Trader Joe's Black Bean and Cheese Taquitos And one of these... Avocado, salt, onion powder, and lime juice And some of these guys...  Sour cream and Mexican Cotija Cheese I came up with this: Sandra Lee isn't the only one who can throw some pre-made shit together and call it "homemade". Also- you better believe I ate every bite. Boner'ppet...
