Bulb planting adventures.

2011-03-14T11:25:00.004-04:00

I bought some awesome black & white calla lily bulbs at Costco this past week. I realized soon after that I had nowhere to plant them. Soooo we made a trip to Lowe's & we bought a window box and a deck hanging kit. Yup. We're awesome. And by "we", I mean "Kacee" because she had to hang it.We used Miracle Grow Moisture Control soil [that's my herb plant in the background: chives, parsley, dill,

Frozen oatmeal? Yes, ma'am.

2011-02-22T09:23:00.005-05:00

I don't know if all the Costco locations carry it or not, but MY Costco just started carrying this amazing product:It's an 8-pack, though. I was hesitant to buy it, but then they had it on sample [love that!]. It's fairly priced @$7.99 for 8 servings. The Vermont Maple Syrup is my favorite, but there is also some sort of berry flavor, with actual berries - not berry flavoring. It comes frozen in

Valentine's Day 2011 =]

2011-02-22T08:57:00.004-05:00

Hey, I'm only a week and a day late on this post. Much better than usual.I took Kacee out to Melting Pot for Valentine's Day dinner. They had a prix fixe menu that was a tad on the expensive side, but it's a holiday so I was expecting it. Plus, it was a 5 course meal. I forgot to take a picture of the salad, but those came in between the shrimp cocktail and the cheese fondue. I have no idea what

Homemade doggie treats!

I've started baking and selling [by request] homemade, all natural doggie biscuits. I know that a lot of you ladies have little furbabies that you love bunches, so I figured I'd post a link to the new Etsy shop on here. Pass it on to people you know who want to feed their pets all natural treats. Link at the bottom. Missed you guys =] http://www.etsy.com/shop/bonebistrogourmet?ref=pr_shop

Truffle cheesecake.

2010-08-04T08:43:00.004-04:00

This is by far my favorite cheesecake in the world. And let me tell you, that's saying a LOT. I love me some cheesecake. I've made all sorts of fancy flavors from turtle to apple pie, and nothing compares to the texture of this one. Instead of sugar, I use sweetened condensed milk and the texture it gives the cheesecake is just amazing. It truly is like biting into a truffle. [The chocolate kind,

My cookbook celebration.

2010-07-27T23:25:00.003-04:00

In honor of my new endeavor to write a cookbook, I threw a small dinner party for a few friends. The dishes I made were all four recipes to be included in the book. I made white wine poached tilapia, steamed asparagus with lemon cream sauce, roasted dill potatoes, and peach cobbler. I somehow managed to forget to take pictures of the peach cobbler, so I guess I'll have to make that one again.

The Circle Game.

2010-04-24T15:02:00.005-04:00

Does anyone else [the immature bastards like me] play The Circle Game? It's where you make this symbol with your hand:And you have to have it below your waist somewhere [that's what she said...] for it to count, but the point is to get the other person[s] to look at it without telling them to or making it obvious. If they do, the rules say you're allowed to punch them, but we usually don't... It

Oops.

I'm sooooo sorry. Life has been crazy lately. I actually have a social life that doesn't involve World of Warcraft [harhar, kiddddding. Sort of.] I'm off work tomorrow. I promise at least ONE update. =]

Yay. We have the Interwebz! I had to give in a buy it legitimately, since the neighbor we were ganking it from for a few days moved out. Boooooo! Oh well. Now I have my Criminal Minds on DVR 24/7 Yayayayayay.I know I promised pictures of the new place. Eventually, I'll make a tour video, but for now, here's the bedroom tour.

We sell Panera Broccoli & Cheddar soup at Costco. Okay, so it's good... but it's not nearlyyy anything CLOSE to being as amazing as the real thing. [Even if it IS made by Panera] Heidi bought some from work the other day, but informed me she'd never been to Panera [WHAT?! I know!] soooo I dragged her little booty out there yesterday for lunch. I didn't realize how much bigger the bowls of soup

Sorry it's been a while, but I've been mooooooving! So hi! I wanted to give you guys a mini update.

Dear Costco Shoppers,

At your local Costco warehouse, they will have a donation fund going for the Haiti Earthquake Relief via Red Cross. Ever dollar you donate goes 100% to Red Cross, which then goes 100% to Haiti. They aren't taking a cut, as most "charities" do. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get in and donate!

Happy 21TH birthday?

MEAT! At 11:25 PM, yes ma'am. It's the fajita steak strips from Publix's meat department. They come in a package with a BIG orange sticker that says "FOR FAJITAS!" - They're hard to miss. Anyfuck, I marinate them in teriyaki, soy sauce, and ground ginger... and a leeeeetle dash of cinnamon. I know that last ingredient sounds strange/vomit/yucko, but it's nomlicious. Forrrealz. Try it. After they

...but before you meet him, I'm gonna show you my gnarly cut. I got this weird ass cut in the palm of my hand. I have NO IDEA how it got there, but I'm gonna assume it's from the Olympic Sport known as Costco Cashiering. There are sooooo many items that cutttt the shitttt out of you: King crab legs, the plastic containers the apples come in, and artichoke spines! This thing has been catching on

The delicious breakfast that I could not taste.

2010-01-10T08:59:00.003-05:00

This breakfast is from yesterday, which I completely forgot about until I went to upload this morning's breakfast shots. I made a bowl of Fage + Kashi Heart 2 Heart Warm Cinnamon + honey. Probably one of my favorite breakfasts and I'd just gone grocery shopping, so it was the first time I'd had it in a while. Guess what? My cold decided to take over my tastebuds and not let me know until after I

Customer service, my ass!

Tonight my friend Heidi and I hit up the same Lebanese restaurant that we always to go on Friday nights when we're hungry. I've reviewed the restaurant 2-3 times on this blog, but tonight was the first time I've ever been disappointed. I left mad, and honestly, I'm not sure if I'll be going back.When we first got there, we ordered the Jordan Special aka the drink I made up aka Malibu + pineapple

The day of warm foods.

2010-01-08T12:58:00.003-05:00

It was "supposed" to snow in Jacksonville today, but noooooo. It just *happened* to warm up [by about 5 degress!] for the first day this week & give us cold rain, instead. Ughhhh. It's still freeeezzzzing in the house, though. The first thing I was craving when I got up, surprisingly, was oatmeal! Of the banana persuasion.For lunch, I had the last bowl of my batch of baked potato soup. I was so

PUPPPPPIESSSSSS!

Baked Potato Soup.

2010-01-05T13:49:00.004-05:00

Look at my mom's retarded whisk! I was gonna buy a new one, but it actually comes in handy this way. The little hand that's bent outward is good for scraping the sides while I'm stirring. Who knew?! Not I.Naked taters waiting to hop in the jacuzzi!The thickest-ass bacon I've ever seen in my life. My grandmother brought over some breakfast yesterday & this was leftover bacon from that. I swear it

Nomnomnom.

Man, after this meal I was sooooooo full. And probably gassy. But I didn't tell you that. Because that would just be inappropriate. !!!Nomnomnom. Panko breaded tilapia, baked sweet potato [with brown sugar & cinnamon], wild rice, steamed broc, & a slice of French baguette with buttah. It's organic, but still buttah.

Raspberry chipotle sauce, my way.

2010-01-02T16:45:00.003-05:00

My whole family is obsessed with this raspberry chipotle sauce that Costco carries during the holiday season. OBSESSED. This season we didn't end up getting it in, so I got a bunch of death stares when I had to break the news to my family. The bottle from Costco looks like this:I made mine with fresh raspberries, as well as raspberry vinegar... and it turned out pretty derrrnnnnned good, if I do
