So you should know that I am not a “shopper”. I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall, 15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall. I prefer to shop on line. And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible. I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain, Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes. They’re primarily in Manhattan. A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty. I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou
found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo
My first time doing this challenge. Should be interesting. 26 posts, one for each letter of the alphabet. Post every day except Sunday. This blog is about to get very busy, because I’m still going to do posts for the various blog hops I enjoy. Those posts will be separate from the challenge posts. My challenges theme is “things that make me happy”. And today it’s all about that “A”. “A”, the first letter of the alphabet. “A”, the top grade at school. “A” is for … Air Fryer. It’s a simple kitchen tool, but one that makes me very happy. I love using my air fryer. I bought my first air fryer a year ago, and it very quickly became my favorite kitchen appliance. I would never have thought to buy one until my daughter told me how much she loves hers. Food comes out crispy, like it was fried, but with a lot less oil. And everything cooks so quickly. My favorite thing to prepare in the air fryer? Crispy Brussels sprouts. I cook them in the air fryer then finish them with a balsamic gl
