@celticlullaby‌ I also will make an egg white wash, brush the tops of the muffins with them at 10 minutes left and sprinkle wish coarse organic sugar. The muffins then get a yummy crunchy sugary top.

Eta: tips should have been tops. I have fat texting thumbs.

Bagdad. They are decorating their cars to offend The South and get shot at apparently.

I love TG UK. Hate the US version.

I don't know why but watching dating and naked..it would suck if you had your period...besides all the naked stuff.

Now I'm thinking about Naked and Afraid and how they handle this since it's 21 days... I doubt they plan around periods. I can only imagine how gross this would get...

I have no idea what this is. Please enlighten me.

Only an amazing show you have to watch!

Guy and girl stuck somewhere for 21 days, have to survive and get their own food, water, shelter, etc. they change locations but it's stuff like rain forests that have crazy conditions. They are naked, but that's really not even a big deal. How they survive and interact is really interesting... The last girl was a whiney brat and I thought they were going to kill each other.

Poppy, can you please cook me all the foods? Every recipe you share sounds delightful.

I'd LOVE to! I worked as a chef at a catering company after I quit the marketing biz (read: after I was laid off from a shit hole firm). And LITERALLY the day before we found out about little Miss Poppyseed Merriwether I signed for a loan for a food truck in Portland.

Cooking = my sanctuary.

So what I'm saying is...hit me up for recipes anytime. It's the least I can do!

Apparently there was a Mean Moms spinoff from Mean Girls in the works that got scrapped, at least for the time being. If that movie is about "mommy wars" and anywhere near as accurate as Mean Girls was to high school, it should be worth a watch if it ever comes out!

This was UK. But they were in the US for some reason.

I've seen the episode. I liked it. Didn't paint rednecks in a good light.

I decided to work on my front garden because it was beautifully landscaped and I've let it go to shit because I'm lazy, hate gardening and have a baby that does not have gardening time in his agenda
Something have me a blister on my finger and a rash on my wrist
So I stopped gardening and ate sabra garlic hummus and staceys pita chips instead

Also why are Stacey's pita chips 3.99 a bag and the bag is soo small

My fav recipe for blueberry muffins
https://foodess.com/2013/05/lemon-blueberry-sour-cream-muffins/

I use yogurt sometimes in place of sour cream and have made with and without the lemon
Always awesome

I wish they made a slient version of these. I know that I buy them reguarly for hubster, meaning i'm perpetuating the issue...but they ALWAYS wake Merriwether up.

Also, $3.99? I buy them for $2.70 at Kroger. Where you shopping lady!?

RedDawnsRevenge

DH just put in his notice at work. The count down to the NC move begins. I told him I want to pay off our debt before we move. I have never been to the East Coast.

I want a good truck so bad I have a plan for it and all

Where's halfway between you and me? Let's just start one there. I backed out of my loan but 'still have it' for two more years. Also, what's your idea?

ETA: @poru Mine is a waffle truck. I'm still working on doing it here in Cinci. Vegan dutch style waffles with vegan, vegetarian and meaty options all available.

PoppySeedWindsor

@Vinny424 I love it! 

Can you eggroll a waffle? Can I waffle an eggroll?

Only time and practice will tell...

Teresa1896

Naked & Afraid is awesome! I've seen a couple of shows where the woman is on her period. There must be some special period allowance for tampons because you never see any yuckiness.

I hate survival shows but I love that show.

Whaaaaat! I think I'm all caught up on this season but I haven't seen that one! I just love what big babies the men always are. They always get hurt or sick and just whine, while the women do all the work.

Three things:

Sullivan is a turd and decided all of a sudden he wants to roll over; so he did it in his pnp at the end of a nap and mom and dad missed it!! Now he's rolling over like its nothing. Uh, you could not do this yesterday and now you're a pro?! Babies!

Now I must bake blueberry muffins. Thanks a lot.

I also need a waffle roll in my fucking life. Get on that, ladies.

JessieAlbin

Scratch that, four things. Pretty sure that Springs was at my bar for brunch this morning. "Um, there is NO SALT on this Bloody Mary." And I apologized and put it in a glass with a salt rim. To which she just glared at me. Lemme get right on dropping the twenty drinks I have cued up and every other person I am serving at the bar while we are slammed, so I can glue my lips to your ass, old lady. Go home and make your own damn breakfast.

I never thought a male attached to my boob while pushing out a thunderous fart would be something that would ever be part of my daily life..My husband is wild..
Kidding... he's doesn't go near these milk shooters.

In all seriousness when LO has gas while nursing he could rip my nipple off! Ouch!

KatieGummow

I've always wanted to make a food truck that serves cupcakes & coffee. With yummy Kaladi Brother's coffee from Alaska. My dream.

PoppySeedWindsor

My mission for this week is an egg waffle roll. I've been getting bored with my menu anyway. Thanks for the challenge RTT!

I always wash the coconut oil off of DS's head. Can I leave it in overnight?

JessieAlbin

I'm living in a fantasy world of food trucks surrounding me with egg rolls, waffles, tamales, cupcakes and coffee. Bring this show on the road and let's travel around in a gypsy food truck A14 band of noms and happiness. I'll sling the drinks AND I'll DD.

edoliesmom

Awww, thanks @Tasha575‌ It feels good knowing that everyone supports me and doesn't agree with what was done. I love you guys! >:D<

We do it all the time.

So after reading the FFFC thread I wonder if I am the only person who just makes up my son's bottles as needed? Seriously I just get warm water out of the sink and it takes like a minute to make the whole bottle. Waiting 3-4 minutes for the bottle to heat up seems like a huge pain.

PoppySeedWindsor

I'm thinking I can make thin waffles in my waffles maker, using a savory batter. Let it cool and then wrap it around delicious goodies and fry the hell out of it. 

I am so freaking excited to try this. 

Could also do sweet but since it's egg rolly, I'ma try savory first.

There is a crazy amount of food trucks within a mile of my house.  And sometimes a guy rolls a cooler filled with tamales through my hood. 

Come visit the Land of Oz, A14.

@ImnAtari‌ hire me as your chef? I can cook all the eggs (and more...but any breakfast cook should be able to whip out perfect eggs)!!

Xxlilies

Mm red velvet waffles would be amazing
I'm not sure what is so great about red velvet but I love it

baileymama3

I love your food truck plans!!! So fun breakfast 911 is awesome! I loooove cooking too but I hate making the same thing over and over, so I would be pretty bad at that business! I was actually in the works of starting my own personal cooking business.... But then found out I was pregnant and decided to put that on hold for a bit! I hope your business works out @PoppySeedWindsor‌ --- what's your timeline/did you get the loan??

RedDawnsRevenge

Made several nursing necklaces! I ran out of beads! But made 2 complete necklaces.thank you piney for the idea.

@mamrotu73‌ - I got a call today regarding being a character reference for a friend in the navy. The gentleman doing the reference set up an appointment to come to my house for "the talk". Is that normal?

I know you asked @mamrotu73‌ but that's what they did when my DH was getting his TS for the Army. They selected random people on his list of family and references and had meetings with them. Some were in person and some over the phone.

When we supplemented, we made it as needed. Heating breastmilk (I EP) takes long enough, formula on demand was easier!

$10K over three years. I have two years to get my shit together.

Eta: we have about $5k to put in (even after the camera fiasco).

When I was pregnant, red velvet waffles all the time!

Red velvet cupcake mix in the waffle maker and vanilla bean ice cream!

janice9821

Thinking I might want another baby in the not too distant future but not sure I can handle 2u2. Am I insane for even considering it?

tamaraaaa

I want all the waffles and egg rolls. Seriously... Being on a diet sucks butt.

Project Nursery is going on day two. She better love this room til she's 18.

mamahann

I just made 2 dozen chocolate chip banana pecan lactation muffins. I don't even care if they work because they taste so good!

What's with all this diet talk?? Am I the only one who doesn't GAF until done nursing? I'm all pass the cookies I'm "worried about my supply" (aka I want to eat cookies).

Where's the diet talk?

I need some!
None of my clothes fit and it's starting to get on my nerves
I'd work out rather than diet but we all know there is zero time for that with a three month old

So far my idea of dieting has been replacing my dinner carbs with a salad and buying the kale mix instead of lettuce mix

Four o'clock teas has some new teas out for summer
Pineapple coconut
Strawberry daiquiri
Pinknlemonade
Mojito

I got the pink lemonade and will likely drink it iced . also got the pineapple coconut which is a rooibos
