Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Weekend Gallery

July 24, 2016

We’re halfway through summer and gearing up for another school year soon. Hopefully to be followed by cooler fall weather as well. I can’t really complain though, before last week’s heat wave, we had almost two weeks of rain almost every morning. Definitely better than some previous summers we’ve had! Anyway, I have been snapping away and here’s the fodder from those sessions.

First we have some microwave popcorn called Mallow Magic that is supposed to taste like Rice Krispie Treats. Uh…oookaaay. I think I’d just rather make the treats. Although it was intriguing, I didn’t buy it.

Continuing in the food vein, here we have three “milks” in various flavors. I didn’t show these to son #4 because I was afraid he’d actually get these – he did the last time I found some. UGH.

Now here’s something that’s actually cool – a sushi set for your Barbie! No, really – they now have all kinds of little extras like food, cooking utensils, beauty supplies, new accessory sets, and on and on. Very cool! I would have loved these back in the day. No matter where we were on vacation in the States, I always sought out the toy department just to look at the dolls and doll clothes. There used to be a lot of wedding dresses to choose from too, but no more. I really wish Mattel would bring back a good assortment of those. With all the new goodies and the Barbies in real girl sizes – it’s getting good again.

Oh dear God, I can’t believe Sandra Lee still makes things. Here’s a magazine that you can read from one end to the middle and then flip it around and do the same to see “recipes” of almost 300 cakes. Don’t even get me started on her cake wrecks. Sure, I’m not good at it myself, but at least I make my cakes and frosting mostly from scratch.

At last – I found a cup that is completely me! Why yes I AM the Frap Queen – every stinkin’ summer. Bahahahahaha! I have to say, however, I’ve been going back to Iced Coffees lately and enjoying them again. The newest one – Iced Coconut Mocha Macchiato (which probably has a thousand calories in it) – is really good. They’ve been running out of them early in the day this year though so everyone else likes them too.

And that’s a wrap. I’ve got plenty more pictures so I’ll be back next week for another edition of Weekend Gallery.

I don't even know how there could be 300 different kinds of cakes...

I know! I found the magazine on Amazon but can't look in it and the only review said "it's ok" - BIG surprise there. :-P
