Fuzzy Navel Anyone?

So I haven't updated in forever.

I'm busy.

And yet, not a whole lot to write home about. So I'm going to do some recipe type stuff because that's always fun!

So if you know me for all of 2 seconds you know I like to bake and all that domestic-y stuff even if it doesn't always work out for me. But I've been making a lot of jello shots lately. And they're actually super easy and SUPER fun! I LOVE jello shots! And these ones appeared to go over really well. I mean REALLY really well.

But every time I buy jello at the grocery store, the clerk always says to me something along the lines of "yeah jello shots!" and "what time's the party?!"

Seriously?! Couldn't I just be buying jello? I like jello! I could have a kid that eats jello! I must just look like a boozer.

Anyway, I've included a recipe for Fuzzy Navel jello shots--there's a bit of a tropical twist to them, but they're still super delicious!

Fuzzy Navel Jello Shots:

In 2 cups of boiling water dissolve 1 packet of Lime Jello (3 oz) and 1 package of Lemon Jello (3 oz).

Stir at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved.

Add 1/2 cup of cold water.

Add 3/4 cups of Peach Schnapps and 3/4 cups of Vodka.

Stir until well combined.

Cool for a few minutes before pouring into shot cups.

Allow the shots to set at least 4 hours. I usually let them sit over night or most of the day to be sure they're fun and jiggly. According to the recipe you should get 18 shots, I think I got closer to 30... 2 packages of jello make a lot of shots.

I brought these to my friends Vicki and Frank's housewarming party and they went over really well. And if I say so myself, they were delicious! And just really fun. I don't like drinking at house parties because I never know how to mix my drinks and I can overdo it so easily, but jello shots are predetermined amounts of alcohol and I like bringing the party to a party.

So have fun with these! Jello shots don't need to be boring and just fruit jello and vodka, do something different!

I'm a curious person. Pretty much everything makes me think. And every once in a while a piece of writing really stands out because of how it's written, what the topic is, just because it came along at the right time. This is the long awaited, or rather, long talked about, by me, review of the book that has, essentially, consumed me for a couple of years. A few years ago the family took Erin to the airport to send her off to Germany for the summer. While there I saw a book in the Borders store called "The Girls from Ames: A Story of Women and a Forty-Year Friendship" by Jeffrey Zaslow. I read the back and was intrigued at the idea of a book about a large group of women, who have been friends for their entire lives, and that one had died under suspicious circumstances early in their twenties. I didn't buy it then and forgot the name. A few weeks later I saw a review of the book in the Arizona Republic. It was hanging up at a Starbucks in Scottsdale. One of the wait...

And wouldn't you know it, I forgot to take pictures of the food. Oh well. I thought they turned out pretty well and I had a good time at the party. I met some new people and it was just nice to not spend another Saturday by myself. Not that I mind, it was just nice. I ordered an Iron Scroll Bakers Rack from Pier 1 a few weeks ago and it finally got here! I was so excited because until now I've had a ton of stuff just sitting on my counter tops because there's no room for them in the cupboards. My Starbucks coffee cup collection, spare coffee cups from my permanent collection, my cook books, all manner of random items that I do not have space for in my clown car sized apartment. So needless to say, this purchase is special and I couldn't wait for it to get here. And it finally did! I went to pick it up from the store and it was too big to fit into my tiny clown car sized car. When I was in the store signing for it, prior to them wheeling it out from the back room, a coup...

I want to be good at the things my Mom is good at. I've never had the problem some of my friends have like hating their parents or wishing they wouldn't turn out like them. Spoiler alert, we all end up being our parents to a certain extent. But I've always actually wanted to be just like my parents. And why not?! My Mom is an amazing woman and I have so many of her qualities, good and bad, but I want to be able to do the things she can do and do them as good. I am, however, destined to always live in her shadow just as she tells me she lives in her Mom's shadow. She says that my Nana was perfect at things like baking and knitting and that after all these years of practice and experience and getting it wrong and getting it right, she's still not her Mom. But we'll spend our lives trying I guess. And my Mom is good at so many things that I am just absolute crap at. My mother is a great cook. Put me in the kitchen and I know you're a gambler. She can cook so we...
