Hump Day Update 12/20/17

What I'm Watching 

 Every Christmas Special!!! I talked about all the christmas episodes last week... Life in Pieces is still on this week and it was funny last week. Prep and Landing Naughty vs. Nice is on next and I like that a lot... so I might watch that. I did watch The Santa Clause... but I already posted my reactions to that... so I'll watch the other Santa Clause Movies and The Grinch soon. I still haven't watched my favorites which are Elf and Christmas Vacation yet... ugh. I saw A Christmas Story Live... didn't see all of it- but I liked what I saw... and yeah! That's pretty great!

 News 

 Last week I reported on Mario Batali's sexual harassment allegations... this week we got an apology with a Pizza Dough Cinnamon Roll Recipe... just so Mario could show how sincere and serious he was about it.

Tarana Burke, founder of the Me Too Campaign will push the button to drop the ball on New Year's Eve in Times Square. I think this is a really great honor for the year.

 Food and Drink 

 Lindor Truffles! Mint, there are good pumpkin and gingerbread ones... Irish Cream, and there's a black and white truffle. Great stuff!

 Favorites 

 Star Wars!!! I did a review on that... it's amazing- one of my favorite things.

I also have to say Olaf's Frozen Adventure... I really like that.

 Other Stuff 
The term "Bat in the Cave" is the discreet way to say "There's a little booger in your nose that I can see". My sister thinks I made this phrase up... I did not!

Byeee!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
