SNURK bedding




found this off my new favorite blog!

Snurk bedding! (means snore)
they are great because, well there bedding is very tongue and cheek, original and a large part of the proceeds of their designs Le-Clochard and Le-Trottoir go to The Foundation for Homeless Youngsters in the Netherlands (SZN). With the money housing projects are supported, where guidance to finding a job or finishing school is the main focus.
uhhhh AWESOME! We need more companies like that here dudes!

yum blondies!


think i will make these this weekend to break in my mixer. minus the butterscotch chips because butterscotch is disgusting
Chocolate Pecan Butterscotch Blondie
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup toasted chopped pecans
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350F. In a medium sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat and stir in the brown sugar so that it's well mixed into a goopy syrup. Remove from heat.

2. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.

3. Once the butter/sugar mixture cools a bit, add in the eggs and vanilla and stir until combined. Pour mixture into the flour and stir until just mixed. Add in the pecans, butterscotch chips and chocolate chips, stirring well so that everything gets mixed together.

4. Pour the batter into a buttered 9x9 inch baking dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Bake for 35 minutes or so until the center comes out relatively clean, the top is golden and the sides start to pull away from the dish. Cool and cut into squares.

hmm

Sometimes I still get scared to go in basements. Have been putting off grabbing the last load of vacation laundry out of the dryer for 40 minns. Only to have my doorbell ring. My neighbor accidently grabbed it and figured it was mine (billy idol teeshirt)

Now that the excitement has worn off, I am a little concerned there might have been a pair of "that time of the month undies" in there


hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

back in seattle

so we have returned.... where to begin.
well i ended up buying a new coat, i know it is lame but i could not sleep i was so worried about it. i bought a new one the last day we were there and when i picked up my old coat from the cleaners i was so glad i did because...... the stain was not out. drycleaning does not exsist there. they just washed it and dried it (big no no). i felt like my crazy paid off for once.

josh and i spent our last day strolling around the beach of SS. touring the aquarium. eatting of course, and taking a coffee in bilbao plaza. then tapas with imanol and lucia. i will miss them so much.

took a train back to madrid and walked around a little bit. bought some sammi's and then had a lost laptop party at the hotel. by lost we mean the show and laptop we mean we watched it on the laptop.

traveling back was easy until we got to canada and had to go through their customs. seemed stupid since we were only gonna be there for a hour. kinda wanted to be like, hey man its non of your business whats in my bag. the security to get into the states was crazy. they did this weird thing where i had to put my hands in my pockets and then they swiped my hands and tested it for something. totally bizarre. but better safe then sorry i guess.

anyways so good to be home. hefner almost smothered me to deaf in my sleep. i have been carrying him around like a baby. sweet guy.
now ciao!

Wow, he must be doing something right
