What Will We Have Tonight?

We are going to meet with our Wednesday group again tonight. It is like a weekly get-together of friends where we can share, laugh, and play with each other. The kids can also play.

But the adults–we talk and eat. Now I am thinking of what to bring later. Hmmmm…It will not be a sit down dinner where we can eat our filet mignon with knives and forks. Now, just something light…and maybe sweet.

I still have some things to finish so I will decided in about an hour or so. By then, it will have to be done in 30 minutes. LOL So that means, it is going to be a simple recipe. Last week, I brought pasta, so what is it going to be tonight? Hmmmm…

Any suggestions? Oh…maybe I should check out the website of Rachel Ray huh? She’s the expert in 30-minute meals! :D

Coke, Mountain Dew, and Pepsi Max Keep Me Awake

Whenever I drink either Coke, Mountain Dew, or Pepsi Max in the afternoon or after dinner at night, I could not sleep early. It seems that at midnight, I am still awake and very lively.

They must have a really high caffeine content to keep me awake like that. I don’t think it is about the sugar because Pepsi Max is sugar-free. Or if I take Moutain Dew and Coke, the effect is doubled because of their sugar content?

I do not know really. But I try to avoid these carbonated drinks now, especially at night, so that I can sleep normally during my normal sleeping hours.

Pretty and Yummy Cupcakes

As many of you know, my daughter is now addicted to Tinkerbell. LOL One our friends, Tita Toni, joined in the fun and she keeps looking for sites on the net that are selling Tinkerbell stuff.

And guess what? She gave Dindin half a dozen Tinkerbell cupcakes from Flibby’s! Boy, that was a really sweet gesture, literally and figuratively.

Dindin did not notice it at first but when she learned that those were Tinkerbell cupcakes, she dived onto the box from where her Papa was holding her. So she had some icing on her hands! haha She loved them. The fairies made of gum paste actually looked more like Fairy Mary, the supervisor of all the tinker fairies, but nevertheless, when Dindin saw the yellow hair and the green dress then that was already Tinkerbell for her!

And because it was made by Flibby’s, the rainbow colored butter cupcakes tasted really good! And the icing was sweet and buttery! We loved it! Dindin of course ate some of the cupcakes, too. :-D

Flibby’s was the one that made the birthday cake of Tita Toni’s daughter when she turned 18 and had the theme Molls and Mobsters. They were all dressed like the Mafia and the Mob Wives for that party.

Thanks again Tita Toni! That was sooo sweet! :D
