Try Before You Buy | Casino Bonuses Review

Gaming casinos are rapidly emerging in our town. Gambling is illegal here, which raises the question, how can casinos operate in a state where casino gambling is not legal? Accepting this review provided the answer. Evidently, these Vegas style gaming arcades are being played via the internet. Duh. Online casinos work in the same way most other gaming sites. Software is downloaded to the user’s computer who then connects to the gaming site online. Online casino bonuses are helpful for those who want to “try before they buy”. All this talk about casinos reminds me of funny story about my husband’s Uncle John. The first time we met, he said to me with a very serious expression, “You like gambling don’t you?” I was shocked. Of course, I enjoyed playing the slot machines in Atlantic City back in the day, but how could he have known? Lucky guess or do I really look like a gambler. Fact is he enjoyed...

Paper Culture|Whimsical Baby Invitation Review

Whimsical is defined as fanciful, imaginative and impulsive, amusingly odd or playfully humorous in an endearing sort of way. Whimsical is the perfect word association for babies in both creating them and experiencing their arrival. The opportunity to review Paper Culture, an invitation design business, brought about more than simply a review. It brings into play my midlife view of childbirth, which is an endearingly whimsical experience, especially now that thirty years have passed! whimsical adj 1. spontaneously fanciful or playful 2. given to whims; capricious 3. quaint, unusual, or fantastic Collins English Dictionary – Complete and Unabridged © HarperCollins Publishers 1991, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2003 Whimsical and babies – A midlife view Oftentimes the creation of babies is the result of a whim, a spontaneously playful act. My youngest son, we believe, was conceived on Valentines Day. Very enchanting and whimsical event and, as I recollect, the holiday included pink roses and strawberries. How about a capricious...

Everyone claims to be a tad bit Irish on St. Patrick’s Day right? Being truly part Irish, a member of Verybestbaking.com, and a huge chocolate fan, sharing this easy mint pie recipe was almost obligatory! Mix It Up with Jenny is a twice-monthly column featuring quick and easy-to prepare recipes and baking tips. Jenny Harper is Consumer Test Kitchen Project Manager for the Nestlé Test Kitchens and VeryBestBaking.com. This month Jenny Harper suggests celebrating all things Irish with these simple ideas: –For the table, have the kids make some shamrock napkin rings and Irish flag placemats out of construction paper. Sprinkle some green confetti on the table and use a potted shamrock plant as a centerpiece. –Have a traditional Irish dinner with Irish stew and Soda Bread, a Shepherd’s Pie or, of course, Corned Beef and Cabbage. –For dessert, try this festive “Lucky You” Mint Pie. The creamy combination of mint and chocolate is so good that it’s bound...

Oh my am I ever old. I had no idea what PSP represented. I know the iPhone and I own an LG smart phone. Would love to own an iPad or maybe even a kindle. But a PSP, blank. One of my great nephews was rambling on about the newest psp game and I really had no clue what he was trying to tell me. Eyes fixed on his while shaking my head yes, I leaned toward my niece and whispered, what is he saying? A gaming machine, made by Sony. A PlayStation Portable. Oh you mean something a game boy right? Well not exactly but that is the idea anyway. How embarrassing, especially since we have a PS2 gaming system in the next room! It is quite remarkable how we parents are very quickly removed from the latest children gadgets and popular toy scene as rapidly as they grow up. I am by no means technologically challenged but...

Super Bowl Recipes – Pittsburgh Popcorn This post brought to you by Kenmore Live Studio. All opinions are 100% mine. Fun Super Bowl Recipes As many of you know, I am a self-proclaimed foodie and author the food blog Are you hungry? Check this out, there were no Super Bowl recipes prepared for Super Bowl XVI, January 24 1982. Can you imagine ME not preparing a single recipe on Super Bowl Sunday? San Francisco and Cincinnati were playing in Pontiac Michigan. The historical highlights from the 49ers website read: “Super Bowl XVI was a sight to behold. Thousands of 49er fans desperately clamored for tickets to see the 49ers first chance at a world championship. The scene in Pontiac, where the temperature was minus 27 degrees with the wind chill, was laughable. San Franciscans, with nothing warmer in their wardrobe than a London Fog raincoat, wandered around in Arctic conditions, shivering but uncomplaining. They were just happy to be...

Tabasco Original Red – Kick up the flavor!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TABASCO® Original Red. All opinions are 100% mine. TABASCO® Original Red is one of my favorite sauces; fellow foodie bloggers as well as my family will attest to that. I use Tabasco sauces in numerous marinade recipes, for enhancing vegetable casseroles, as well as to kick up the flavor and heat of red beans and rice. It is no wonder the company tag line reads, “TABASCO® Original Red, “So Much More Than Hot.” Like spicy chicken? Try coating chicken thighs in Tabasco Red mixed with a bit of Honey Dijon Dressing, dredge in breadcrumbs or seasoned flour, and bake. The result is a crispy oven fried spicy chicken with just a hint of sweet. Plus avoid the fat and hassle of frying chicken! As for buffalo chicken wings, oh my gosh Tabasco Original Red is so necessary. Did you know just two tablespoons of Tabasco original sauce will...
