This Was Super

I went to a great Super Bowl party at friends Bill and Racheal's this weekend. You might remember their names from this post or know Bill from his Super Bowl commercials, Bridgestone's Whale of a Tale and Reply All, both big hits. Well I knew Doritos and Pepsi Max weren't gonna cut it at this party, so instead I whipped up (read: added a ton of real mayo and full-fat sour cream) to this amazing BLT Dip from Homemade Gourmet that I won at a party thrown by Amanda and Caroline.


Holy moly this stuff was amazeballs. Seriously, so good. I will definitely be ordering more of this. It was incredibly easy and a total crowd-pleaser. I added a bunch of tore up French bread and baby carrots.

While my dip and adorable set up are one thing, this spread by Eileen has me totally drooling. I'm heading over there next year!

What did you make?

Whoa

AAAD Reader Kim and I share a love of crafts and kitties (more on that later), and I was thrilled to find a little gift she sent to my inbox this morning: photos from an amazing store window (exact store unknown) from a trip to Toronto a few months ago. I have a penchant for store window displays and I guess I kinda like cats, so this is sort of AWESOME.





Thanks, Kim!

Hot Topics

Ever since I saw some mouth-watering donut-themed shirts in the window of Hot Topic a few months ago, I've been trying to squeeze my so-not-a-tween-anymore self into their graphic tees. Turns out, it's not that hard. They are actually decently-made and sized. Hello! Here are some new ones from their site that I definitely will be swooping up for spring. Because you know, nothing updates your wardrobe like new t-shirts for the 15-year-olds. Woot!

BESTIES! One shirt for me, one for you. Come on, it'll be like BE FRI and ST END.


I'm officially over the mustache trend but this is just hilare.


Also, I might just have to get this simply for it's winning use of combining Missy Elliot and Kermit, obvious Besties.


Two words. Marilyn Moncat.


And finally, for the boys. Old Spice commercial + friendly pickup line = this.


What's the hot topic?

Just So You Know

There is nothing wrong with using this on all things you might need to decorate (including a simple spoon. Or your finger. Whatever, stop saying "ew." You do it, too.) Because this shiz is LEGIT.

The SnowCat I Was Trying To Make

That did not quite work out.

Look at this. It's the mothership.



Thanks, Katie for the photo.

Hope you all enjoyed the snow while it lasted!
