Oh no you didn't...

Oh yes I did!

So, I finally got to make a cupcake recipe that I have been dying to try.

"Dark Chocolate Bacon Cupcake"

Yes...that's right. Bacon.

I just knew that I would love them and so would everyone else.

Not so much. I have had very different opinions. I thought they were pretty good, most thought they were very good, and then some hated them as in took one bite threw away the rest. I think they would have liked them more if I hadn't told them that bacon was in them. It's all a mind thing.

You can make your very own Dark Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes by going to No One Puts Cupcake in a Corner. This blog is by the Milwaukee Cupcake Queen. You should really check out everything else on her blog too!

I also got a life threatening injury while chopping the bacon. It hurt really, really bad.

Dumb Race Betting and Good Treats

Ok, so I really don't want to discuss the Derby.

Yes, I picked the winner, Mine That Bird, on my blog. And yes I bet money on the race.

However, my husband and I set a limit to how much we would bet. When starting to reach that limit, I decided to only bet on Summer Bird and Chocolate Candy. GRRRRRR!!!! What was I thinking!!???? You can't imagine how frustrated I was when Mine That Bird won. I mean, I was happy for the horse and all, but oh so frustrated with myself!!!

OK...no more about my dumb betting on the Kentucky Derby. Maybe next year!

If you love Rice Krispie Treats, you must go make these now!!!

They have come out with Caramel & Vanilla Marshmallows and they are delicious!!!

Ummm....Caramel & Vanilla Rice Krispie Treats...Can't beat um!

Oh yeah, I love Tuesdays!!! The Biggest Loser is on!!!

You better watch! I'm so sad that Kristen and Filipe are gone. I was really hoping one of them would win. I guess I'll be cheering on Mike now! Go Mike!

I guess I need to make some more sweet treats for tonight's show! What's wrong with me??

Kentucky Derby

I love the Kentucky Derby! I am always so excited for this weekend.

I always get teary eyed when I watch the horses walk to their post while "My Old Kentucky Home" plays in the background. I really don't know why though. Something about seeing the horses walking so proudly, that song, and I guess all the excitement for the race, gets me everytime.

My Old Kentucky Home
Words and Music by: Stephen C. Foster

The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home
'Tis summer, the people are gay;
The corn top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom,
While the birds make music all the day;
The young folks roll on the little cabin floor,
All merry, all happy, and bright,
By'n by hard times comes a-knocking at the door,
Then my old Kentucky home, good night!

Chorus

Weep no more, my lady,
Oh weep no more today!
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
For the old Kentucky home far away.
They hunt no more for the 'possum and the coon,
On meadow, the hill and the shore,
They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon,
On the bench by that old cabin door;
The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart,
With sorrow where all was delight;
The time has come when the people have to part,
Then my old Kentucky home, good night!

Chorus

The head must bow and the back will have to bend,
Wherever the people may go;
A few more days and the trouble all will endIn the field where sugar-canes may grow;
A few more days for to tote the weary load,
No matter, 'twill never be light,
A few more days till we totter on the road,
Then my old Kentucky home, good night!

Good Luck to all the horses!!

My Picks

I usually change my mind about 4 times in the last 24 hours leading up to the race.

But, right now these are my picks. You know I don't know anything about the stats on each of the horses.

I'm way to intelligent to pick them on anything other that their name! :)
