Oh yes, it's Keely's Random Tuesday time.
Splataculous-what the top of our oven looked like after Supreme Leader finished cooking tomato sauce for enchiladas.
Dim sum on Saturday morning.
More food than one table of humans could possibly eat at one sitting. Looking for the chicken feet? Left side, furthest back.
I just found out that Lowe's is opening in Canada. With my luck they'll build their store here right across the street from Home Depot so my father-in-law and I can make an entire day of it. Each and every weekend from now until October. Thanks Lowe's. Maybe Gene Hackman can take him every other weekend?
Saturday night.
Yes, my son, your mother is that good. (Supreme Leader would like it known that she does not have a proper decorating spatula to smooth out the icing. She also let it be known that we will be going to Williams & Sonoma very soon) What? Butter cream icing. So good it was sexual.
"I hate this part right here..." So do I, please stop playing this gawd-awful song. It makes my eyes bleed.
Sunday afternoon.
Saturday night Supreme Leader opens up a bottle of Orangina for dinner. Concerned that the bottle didn't fizz enough when she opened it, she put the cap back on and shook it. Then she acted all surprised when it burst out of the bottle. I quickly left the room. "Where are you going!? Get away from the computer!" Heh heh heh.
"Die, G.I. Joe, die!"
Ok, somebody sent gave me an award a week or so ago and because I didn't add it to my sidebar IMMEDIATELY I forgot about it. I forgot one that Kat at 3 Bedroom gave to me too, but she already knows I'm an idiot so we're good. So please let me know if you were the one, unless you've stopped reading me because you think I suck.
Go to Keely's and grab a button, it's cheaper than a $100 an hour therapist.

It doesn't surprise me one bit. Guy Fawkes actually used coffee whitener in his plot to blow up parliament, not gunpowder.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love mythbusters? You have to wonder how many guys end up in the emergency room going - 'But they did it on mythbusters!'
ReplyDeleteI did leave you an award, A Smoking Typewriter, way back on Thursday. But that's okay, I'll live with being ignored. Sniff, sniff.
Dim Sum, oh yum. And cake. What are you trying to do kill me off with hunger?
Great Random Tuesday!
Geez. That cake is extremely impressive. I'm more than impressed.
ReplyDeleteyou are ALSO insane. :-)
ReplyDelete...But you are one of my favorite idiots!
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is so interesting at that stone quarry that you need to sit on a log and watch?
ReplyDeleteWow Supreme Leader is hot and she can cook and she can bake? What the heck is she doing with you? Oh, you know I'm kidding!
ReplyDeleteAnd, just for the record...if a bottle didn't fizz when I opened it...I would have done the same exact thing! I think it is a result of the whole Halloween "needles in the apple" urban legend from when we were kids...as if I'd ever eat an apple on Halloween anyway!
Wait, do you guys have Halloween up there in Canadaland? On that note, wth is boxing day anyway? Wait, I don't wanna know! :)
Oopsy...forgot to say Congratulations on your new award even though you didn't specifially say which one it is...you have so many *swoon*
ReplyDelete:)
Thanks for the explosives lesson, as I sit swallowing my coffee with creamer!
ReplyDeleteOh and why a store would build across the street from each other is beyond my comprehension.
Lowe's did that exact thing, built across from Home Depot and opened up just last year...
I can taste the butter cream icing through my monitor..You guys are killing me (or at least my diet)!
ReplyDeleteAre you telling me I have had napalm in my pantry for years and I didn't know? That is freaking sweet! I know what I am doing when I get home from work....
ReplyDelete1. Mythbusters totally rules.
ReplyDelete2. Wouldn't it be cool if on their lunch breaks employees from Lowe's and Home Depot had a dance off?
3. I seriously want that cake.
your wife with the frsoting disclaimer - rolling over here. are there really that many cake nazis out there that would notice the smoothmess of someone's icing? she's almost christ-like just for making a cake from scratch, that should be enough.
ReplyDeleteEvery once and a while you read about some idiot who frosts their cake with powdered sugar and when they blow out the candles it creates a small dust explosion. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteDim Sum. Yum.
ReplyDeleteEllie
You had me at Dim Sum.
ReplyDeleteGreat. Now I am hungry and want to blow stuff up. What an extrordinary combination.
ReplyDeleteI'm now going to go Coffemate some gophers.
ReplyDeleteWhich is more explosive- French Vanilla or Hazelnut?
ReplyDeleteI, too, need a decorating spatula to smooth my icing..
ReplyDeletenot that I'm eating cake with butter cream icing though.. that would be very wrong for my weight-loss plan..
Of course I knew that coffeemate is highly flammable. Come on. Who's your girl?
ReplyDeleteI know, I know. I'll be by later with a lighter.
trim your eyebrows.
I love this whole post. So much to love in this.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's including your wife for the stunning cake.
ReplyDeleteAnd the dim sum....yum.
ReplyDeleteI hate that song right there
ReplyDeleteThe dim sum pic makes me hungry. I had this for breakfast in Ipoh, Malaysia a few years back in an outdoor market. I loved it.
ReplyDeletestoppin by from un moms RTT to read all the randomness...that cake looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteI ADORE Dim sum. In fact, I need me some Dim sum right now!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh My GOD!! I HAAATE that whole song. Not just "that part right there" but every part thereof!
ReplyDeleteFirst time visitor here and, while your blog pictures make me hungry and cold*, your writing is lots of fun and your little one precious!
Happy Tuesday!
* Here in Miami winter lasts one day and 'cold' is 60 deg weather
Reading this made me hungry. Was that the point?
ReplyDeleteMind if I help myself to a piece of cake? Thnx, yum, bye.
ReplyDeleteI despise that song. DESPISE it, I tell you. I'm convinced they are either the second coming or fashion victim anti-christs. You be the judge.
ReplyDeletethanks for your help! Your still one of my favorite brothers!
ReplyDeleteGo peep your award at my place!
ReplyDeleteI'm so at your house this Saturday! YUM!! No chicken feet though. I'm trying to quit.
ReplyDeleteThe dusty bits from a malted Barley bag will also burst into Flames, while making Beer, if you pour it in your mash tun without turning off the Gas first.
ReplyDeleteTotally worth it though.
Who needs eyebrows. Or eyelashes.
Or facial hair.
His expression about the cake...I'm convinced!
ReplyDeleteHe's getting high off the smell of decadent chocolate cake...
ReplyDeleteWhat in the hell is powdered coffee whitener?
ReplyDeleteYeah, thanks, I was totally looking for the chicken feet. (??)
ReplyDeleteSeeing your Dim sum feast makes me pine for Seattle. Or at least it did until I got to the chicken feet.
ReplyDeleteI HATE that song, too. I wish they would stop playing it! I am dying for a piece of that cake. It looks very delicious. :P
ReplyDeleteYou tell that Supreme Leader that she deserves anything her little heart desires after a cake like that. . .
ReplyDeleteForget about the tomato sauce. Leadership isn't always pretty, you know. . .
you didn't really EAT the chicken feet, did you?
ReplyDeleteSL is a cake decorating genius. Will she please marry me instead? I live in FL, no snow. She can bring the kids, as long as they babysit.
ReplyDeletei just found yer blog... you my kind of funny.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff this Tuesday. Hey, anybody ever tell you you look a bit like Marky Mark?
ReplyDeleteMythbusters is awesome. Supreme Leader comes by her name honestly, that is one fab looking cake.
ReplyDeleteI think the cake looks perfect the way it is!
ReplyDeleteAND...liquid coffee mate will take color out of carpets. Thanks to my daughter for teaching me this.
Explosive, hey? My plans for work tomorrow just changed drastically.
ReplyDeleteAnd I would like to point out AGAIN that all the posts this week are conspiring to make me hungry.
Instead of putting candles on the next birthday cake I see, I will put small mounds of powdered coffee creamer on it. Should prove to be an interesting celebration. By the way - if I have a white colored carpet, will the coffee creamer work well as a cleaner? I am a rather fastidious mollusk around the house. With love and respect you, xoxo from Mrs. Slug. There. I did it. I came, I saw, I commented.
ReplyDeleteI really need one of those spatula's, too, tell her to get an offset one, I've read they are supposed to be easiest to use.
ReplyDeleteI hate that song, too. (Yes, I did just sing song that in my head)but I love "Hush girl, hush your lips, do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips."
I think Supreme Leader needs to guest post, so she can come back from all this "Orangina" and "use of a an improper-spatula" ribbing.
ReplyDeleteChicken feet?! YUM! (No.) But the chocolate looks amazing.
My husband watches Mythbusters. When will those guys run out of things to test?
Eww Orangina Ewww
ReplyDeletereally, SL was worried that the cake wasnt smooth enough? It looks AWESOME!! I want some.
ReplyDeleteLMAO @ Supreme Leader shaking the bottle. Ooopsie.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how messed up a cake like that would be by the time it got here if I asked her to mail me one. Hmmm... I bet it'd still taste good though.
