*is it innappropriate?

...that I had completely inappropriate thoughts about how delicious bacon chocolate could be?

I was reading Brady's blog to find out that my friend has had this amazing concoction, but failed to tell me.

*humph*

THERE'S. BACON. IN. MY. CHOCOLATE....BACON---yes, that's right
BACON!!!!

Holy shit, what's left? Bacon lollipops? Bacon gum? Bacon lickable wallpaper?

love means nothing in tennis

I love me some Federer as much as the next girl, but is it weird that Roger Federer's fans, at least those appearing court side on a regular basis (JEALOUS), are pre-or post menopausal?!

Roger is smoking hot, and he can really play tennis. I think he hits the ball over 130mph, and that's just his arm.

Anyway, seems weird he doesn't have any younger fans, like, without children or hormone replacement therapy.

I have this amazing friend, his name is Zack. He's tall, dark, handsome, kind, loyal, creative, witty and can sing his tight little buns off. I'm not sure he knows it but despite the small fact that he isn't at all interested or can't reciprocate, ALL of his girlfriends and I are in luuuv with him.

...and yes, I am fully aware I used a "u" in Luuv, but my lapse in grammar judgment should illustrate the point perfectly.

Seriously. He is amazing.

A while back, embarrassingly, in JUNE he performed at Joe's Pub in NYC to a packed house. He sang, made jokes and was fabulous in a 3-piece suit. No one could have been more so. I think I can safely speak for Moe, Nate and Roy when I say that we were blown away by his talent and awfully proud to be there.

I am writing this so late mostly because I haven't gotten a chance to do a proper "ode" to his royal lovelyness.

...and oh is it lovely...

Despite all the flattery, truly, it is really wonderful to have such a good friend, a steadfast source of advice, laughter and support. I only hope I can provide the same.

I mean, really...the guy laughs at my jokes, ALMOST every time.

Klum in Hebrew is the word for NOTHING! (seriously)

(prop styling by Miss. Heather D)

This morning makes 9 days that darling, adorable Heather and I have been sweatin’ to David Kirsch’s complicated sweat IN MY EYE inducing workouts. Basically we feel good. Maybe I am speaking for myself here, but I am not seeing the KLUMIFICATION I was hoping (praying for).

Things are tighter and the workouts are getting easier, and I think I almost felt a runner’s high the other night, but am currently living Klum-free.

Maybe miraculously on day 14 I will wake up at 3am with a sexy hot Klum-like body in my bed and wake up to find that HOLY CRAP, that's ME...I am that supermodel!

(will keep you updated)

oh my....Clive you are so FINE

errr...and a wonderful actor.

yeah, that's the ticket.

So, as some of you may or may not know I LOVE Cate Blanchett. What I love even more is her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth I. The movie was amazing and now, FINALLY the trailer has been released for it's sequel "Elizabeth The Golden Age" has been put online (I literally got goosebumps) AS WELL as production diaries from the set.

Oh, and did I mention CLIVE friggin' OWEN is in it? Need I?

Thought not.

Enjoy the trailer...gigggggggggggle.

ode to the meat ball

Me and my homies went to IKEA this weekend to get some shelves, sheets, tupperware, crap, candles, more crap (THAT WE DON'T NEED) and MEAT BALLS. Now, sweet little innocent Heather had never had the IKEA delicacy and besides being shocked, I was thrilled that I could be there.

There is no one who doesn't like these delicious little buggers (ok, Roy and probably my Mother) but, really, besides that anyone who's not concerned with clogged arteries or living past 35 runs for the cafeteria first chance they get.

I've even found a place online where they give you the RECIPE. that's right, you can have them everyday for the rest of your life, that's right THE REST OF YOUR LIFE:

Ingredients:

250gm minced beef 250gm minced pork 1 egg 200-300ml cream and water (or milk and water) 2.5 tbsp. finely-chopped onion 50ml unsweetened rusk flour 2 cold boiled potatoes 4-5 tbsps butter, margarine or oil Salt and pepper

Instructions:

Heat the onion till golden in a couple of tablespoons of lightly browned butter. Mash the potatoes and moisten the rusk flour in a little water. Mix all the ingredients until there is consistency and flavor generously with salt, white pepper and (optional) a little finely crushed allspice. Use a pair of spoons to shape the mixture into relatively large, round balls and transfer to a floured chopping board. Fry them slowly in plenty of butter.

How to make the cream sauce:

Ingredients:
100ml cream 200ml beef stock Chinese soy sauce Salt, white pepper 1 tbsp white flour

Instructions:

Swirl the boiling water or beef stock in a pan. Add cream and thicken with white flour if preferred. Season well with salt and pepper. Serve the meatballs with the sauce, freshly boiled potatoes, uncooked lingonberry jam and salad. There you have the perfect Swedish meal!

...days left till I go to Israel? ONLY 18!

I am totally busy at work, swamped is a better adjective (although it hardly describes my situation). BUT I wanted to share a little video I found on YouTube that got me pretty pumped for my impending trip.

Enjoy...



Then there's also this, which is always a favorite...
