the female equivalent of 'nice guys finish last' is apparently 'men marry bitches'.

we'll know tomorrow if Dusty wins the batting title. currently .326

I wonder if Dusty's wife is bitchy.

this means the Yankees can't make the postseason (for the first time since 1995) ...it's the end of an era. and the Sox will get the Wild Card unless they miraculously gain 2+ games on the Rays in 5 days.

Celtics tickets go on sale this Friday.

I love you.

I don't think I can get tickets for game 1 vs the Cavs so I'll have to wait til March 6 to see LBJ.

I love you.

how to make a rice krispie treat panda

thanks Mary

6 tablespoons margarine or butter
2 (10 oz.) package regular marshmallows OR 8 cups of mini marshmallows
12 cups or 2 boxes of Rice Krispies
One 12 oz tub of white icing
Black food coloring
1 small tube of black gel icing


1. Follow the instructions for making Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats Original. Be sure to make two separate batches.

2. While one batch is still hot, form a large egg shape, with a flat bottom so that it can stand up on its own. In order to mold, be sure to use wax paper, as the Rice Krispies are so sticky you will not be able to mold them with your hands.

3. Take four smaller proportions of the second batch of Rice Krispies and form four cylinders (these will serve as the paws). While the Rice Krispies cylinders are still hot, press them against the large egg shape made in the previous step, in the positions where the paws would be. Again, be sure to use wax paper, as it is still too sticky to work with.

4. Take a larger proportion of the second batch, and form a dome (this will serve as the snout). Press this onto the facial region. The importance of using wax paper can't be emphasized enough, as the sticky consistency of the Rice Krispie treats has not changed.

5. Next form smaller domes and place these where the ears should be.

6. Allow to cool. While the panda cools, take a quarter of a 12 oz tub of icing and dye it black with black food coloring.

7. Once the entire panda is cooled, coat him/her entirely in white frosting.

8. Place black frosting on top of the white frosting, wherever you desire black accents.

9. Draw on a face with a gel icing tube.

10. Give your panda a name (preferably Chinese, since pandas are native to China).
(I would name mine Ni Hao)

11. Put the panda in the refrigerator until it's time for it to be in the spotlight.

12. Bask in the glory as party-goers admire your creation.

bon

today I rode my bike to work. it takes about the same amount of time as the t (40 minutes) but it requires a bit more energy than sitting and reading the Metro.

when I got to Cambridge I was so tired and sweaty. I thought, what is something really big (and cheap and full of calories) that I can eat for breakfast? I remembered the apple fritter from Starbucks that Rhianna used to get when we worked at Anthropologie.
Photobucket
(while looking for that photo I found so many other oldies but goodies, like eating lunch at "little bon")

the apple fritter was good, but Starbucks has made it like half the size that it used to be. it was only about the size of a donut. Rhianna just reminded me that the fritter used to be the size of her head. you can see her feeding it to Chris above (he has a large head though.)
I ate it so fast I didn't think of taking a picture of it for research.
