thanksgiving feast

A few nights ago we watched Throwdown with Bobby Flay and he competed against The Pioneer Woman (Ree Drummund) in creating a delicious Thanksgiving feast. I was salivating through the whole show! Bobby Flay's pumpkin bread pudding dessert (above) looked pretty incredible, although I read it does take a little work. And Ree's mashed potatoes looked SO creamy and delicious I couldn't wait to read the recipe after the show! I haven't actually tried any of the Thanksgiving Feast Recipes myself yet (I definitely will though) but I thought they were worth sharing as you prepare your own feasts.

the pioneer woman

If you haven't been on The Pioneer Woman website you are definitely missing out! I could spend hours looking through all of the pictures, recipes and stories... And I admit I'm somewhat jealous (actually, really super jealous) of her country lifestyle :) The picture above is just one of my favorites from her recent "Four-Legged Photos" collections.

classic commercials

I bought a really great $5 CD set of old "classic commercials" and have been watching them for the last couple weeks. Incredibly entertaining! It's amazing to see the different ways of marketing just 30 or 40 years ago...and some of the names and soundtracks are ridiculous. I'm currently watching the haircare products and thought it would be fun to post a few. This first one below was just cute and reminded me of my mom brushing out my tangles...



I think this one wins for the worst name: "Ozon Fluid Net"
And check out how "natural" her hair looks!
