I don’t even watch the Superbowl, but after looking at these Snackadiums I am overwhelmed with an urge to host a party just so I can construct one of these big bad beautiful buffets. Sure they are a little gross, and full of things you probably should not ever eat (slim jim goal posts?) but…
Wishes for The New Year: Wish Bottle
I’m not making resolutions this year. It’s a recipe for disappointment, in my experience. Call me superstitious but whenever I make a resolution, I seem to face a major curveball, and that leads to a colossal sense of failure. If anything, I resolve not to be so hard on myself when things don’t work out….
The Santa Protection Program
It’s getting pretty clear we’re going to have to relocate. Possibly to the Middle East. We’ll lay low for a couple of months. Till the garlands are down and the trees have been taken away by the large item trash collectors. It should be safe to return by then. I’ve tried bribes, threats, and even…
Giant Menorah Ikea Hack
We have a funny family tradition at Hanukkah. It started over ten years ago when we felt pressured by our neighbors to decorate/light our house for the holidays. Our hood goes all out and gets competitive with it. There are cash prizes to the most well lit tract in our little town. Cash = awesome…
Gluten, Egg, Soy, Dairy, and Nut Free Suganiyot Donuts
They said it couldn’t be done. Which was my invitation to try. Last night I took my original Gluten free donut recipe and re-calibrated it to make it free of several more allergens, all of which my niece cannot eat. Here are my modifications: I used a flour mix that was mostly Rice flour with…
DIY Candy Menorah – Easy and Delicious!
Here’s a Menorah that won’t last all 8 nights. But it will light up your children’s eyes! It’s made out of Marshmallow twists, peanut butter cups, gelt and orange “slices” gumdrops. Took about ten minutes to assemble. Less for our crowd to devour.
Putting Myself Out There with In The Bag: Mondays at Noon
This might shock you: I find it pretty hard to talk about myself. Or write about myself. I can’t get over the feeling that nobody really cares. I don’t mean that in a woe is me, full of self pity kind of way. I mean it more practically. I’m really quite fascinating. I’m not at…
Limited Time Magic at Disney in 2013
Last Oct 17th Disney announced their “Limited Time Magic” series of events for the next year. They made this announcement spectacularly, planting an ice castle in Times Square. Over 40,000 lbs of ice. The time lapse video above (I’m a sucker for time lapse) is just amazing to watch. I can’t think of a more…
Simple, Classic Upcycled Bottle Menorah
Here’s a menorah that requires a little shopping but not a lot of crafting. Anyone can put one like this one (currently on my mantle) together. I’ve seen a lot of menorahs made from multiple bottle of the same size and color but I’m partial to a mix and match approach, so long as you…
Easy, Flame Free Glowstick Menorah for Kids
Here is a super simple and festive menorah that can be crafted and enjoyed by even the preschool set, with a little bit of supervision and assistance. The end result looks great and is safe to keep in a bedroom, on the shelf without any fear of fire. I give you the foam tube, glow…
