Lately, I have been wanting to try new recipes. I have a lot of great ones from friends and family,but a lot of our favorites are pastas and things with whipping cream, and I was wanting to branch out. Here are some great ones that I came across!!!
I decided that buying vanilla in the store is SO expensive. So, I decided to make some myself, and it has turned out beautifully!
In Germany, these are commonly used leading up to Christmas, but the ones with chocolate behind the doors are not the only things available! I love the following ones,some are so creative!
Grant and I were invited to a coworker’s Halloween party, and we had nothing to wear….So, Grant found a sweet instructables, and this is what happened. We bought our supplies at Home Depot, Walmart, Target, and Joann Fabrics, but I will try to link as many of our products used online since that is so much easier these days. We started our costumes Friday night right after work until around 1 or 2am, and then all day Saturday from 9:00am to 8:15pm. We were planning on leaving to go to the party at 8:30pm.
So, Grant and I were in Searcy, AR last month, and on our way back to Austin we decided to stop at a McDonalds for Breakfast. I got two breakfast burritos, and a nice large frappe, and Grant got a Frappe, and had a difficult time deciding on what he wanted. This is not a place we normally eat, and weren’t that familiar with the menu. Grant mentioned the McGriddle, and I was pretty sure that it had syrup in it,but I told him to just ask the cashier person when we got up there.
Grant asks, “What is a McGriddle, and is there syrup in it?”
Cashier, ” I don’t know.”
Grant, ” Can you ask someone?”
Cashier gets the manager who looks annoyed ,and Grant asks the same question to, She says,”No, there is no syrup in there.” then she walks away.
Grant ended up getting the McGriddle, and once we were on the road Grant discovered that McDonald McGriddles do indeed have syrup in them. This is not a huge deal, we were just surprised at the fact that the cashier had no initiative to get our question answered, and the manager had even less of a clue! So, syrup or not, Grant ate it, and you can’t really tell,but we were just trying to show the syrup. LOL!
