I’ve been following Celebrity Apprentice closely this year and found the finale to be unbelievable. When they first started showing the “party planner” named “David,” I thought that I recognized him. After a couple of clips, I realized that it was the same guy that I saw on a bridal show last week that designed the Disney Wedding Couture Packages. I couldn’t believe that Joan Rivers was saying that “David” was overwhelmed and out of his league in decorating the space. Seriously? A guy who Disney entrusted to design their couture wedding packages?
If you didn’t see the show, Rivers offended Tutera so much that he not only quit working with her but he pulled out of Celebrity Apprentice altogether. When taken to the board room, Rivers and her daughter (Melissa Rivers) claimed that none of it ever happened and Annie Duke was totally lying.
My husband is claiming that he is never going to watch the show again because of the outcome. I’ll watch again, but I am definitely surprised. How about you?

My husband and I were watching Food Network today and he paused it for me to watch a commercial that he thought was really funny. I hadn’t seen it yet, so I stopped to pay attention. I have to say that it was one of the funniest commercials that I have seen in a long time–and it was not even a Super Bowl commercial! After searching for it online, it appears that it may have initially aired during American idol (I must have fast forwarded through it. Anyway, here is the commercial. It is for Minute Maid Enhanced Juice (it supposedly uses Omega-3 and DHA to help nourish the brain).
The premise of the commercial (for those of you who might be doing a Google search for it) is that the woman runs into a man and says “I think you’re the father of one of my kids.” The resulting conversation is a riot! But did you remember the maker of the product after you watched it? Or just that it was a cute commercial?

Here’s a recipe from one of my favorite nut companies, NutsOnTheNet.com. If you haven’t tried their nuts, you don’t know what you are mixing! I keep them on hand for gifts, parties, and general snacking. I haven’t tried this recipe yet because I need to order more pecans. But I will be! I would say that I place an order just about every other month.
Candy Coated Pecans:
1 large egg white (about 2 tablespoons), at room temperature
1/4 cup loosely packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups Zenobia Mammoth Pecans
1/4 cup sweetened coconut flakes, optional Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the egg white in a medium sized stainless steel bowl and whisk until frothy. Add the brown sugar and vanilla and stir until smooth. Add the pecans and the coconut, if desired, and stir until well coated. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Set aside at least 30 minutes and up to two hours. Transfer to the oven and bake, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Immediately loosen the nuts with a spatula and set aside to cool.

As a Steelers fan in Indianapolis, I have been looking everywhere for an updated Steelers Fight Song for the 2009 Superbowl. Here is an awesome video that I found on Youtube set to the newest Steelers Fight Song. It’s “Here We Go Steelers” for the 2008-2009 Season.
We’re now two weeks into January and I am wondering how everyone is faring with New Years Resolutions. Are yours already over for the year or are you just gearing up for them?
Personally, I didn’t make any New Year’s resolutions this year. In part it’s because I just don’t like to fail. But I did sign up for the mini marathon in Indianapolis and had to start training for it late in December. So it’s not really a resolution but more of a health-related obligation that I have to work toward. I’m thinking that if I follow the mini-marathon training schedule until May, I will have to satisfy what my resolution SHOULD have been, which is exercising more and getting healthy.
Are you keeping your New Year’s resolutions? Or are they already a bust? Is it a meaningless tradition or a chance to start every year with a clean slate and good intentions?
