Online recipes I found and made that are actually good

You know what's the worst? You get your ass in gear, give up your sweet parking spot, and go to the store to get ingredients for a recipe you found online, and it turns out to be HORRIBLE. I read the reviews, I look through the ingredients and prep steps, but sometimes I just choose wrong. So, here's a list of recipes I've found online and made, and have turned out really well. One disclaimer: always season more than recipes say. I like my food spicy so I add crushed red pepper and/or cayenne to almost everything I make, but remember to add the flavors you like. And salt. Always salt. Enjoy.

Resolution Toasts - I made these on New Years. They are super delicious, even though the ingredients seem kind of weird.

Apple Cheddar Beer Bread - Don't over-mix. This stuff is bomb.

If this isn't an episode of Law and Order yet, it's only a matter of time

Another good one from the Best Reads of the Year List - it's old, but if you missed it, it's definitely worth a read:

The Incredible True Story of the Collar Bomb Heist

More Stodden to brighten my day

You know I love Courtney Stodden. And I just found this awesome piece, which was included in Gawker's list of best reads of the year:

"Stodden maintains an amazing Twitter all about how horny she is, Jesus, and her singing career. (Apparently she drinks a lot of mocha ice blendeds, which proves to me that she is definitely really 17.)"

Today f'ing sucks.

"11 things to be happy about on the most depressing day of the year"

Seriously, I am in a MOOD today. The week off was nice, but also included events such as my boxer knocking me down a flight of stairs - resulting in an index card sized black bruise directly across my left ass cheek, and me taking the BF's side view mirror off his car (yeah $300 repair) when trying to do him a solid by moving his car for street cleaning. No good deed goes unpunished, right?

So, I was happy that HB sent me this link, because now I know that a) I'm not alone in my misery, and b)there ARE things to be happy about.

Also, it's game day for us Wolverines, and I'm rocking some rather executive looking attire at the office today:
