An Idea Can Change Your Life

This is amazing! And StumbleUpon is my new time-suck.

Shop It To Me

Great site I found on StumbleUpon! (of course) Tell them your favorite clothing designers and they'll find items they think you'll like and send you e-mail alerts, with markdowns, promotion codes and VIP sale events. Click here for their blog as well. I'm definitely going to try it.

Pink lemonade cupcakes

In honor of the new blog name...I give you pink lemonade cupcakes - found on Cast Sugar's blog.

Ingredients:

1 c. all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. baking soda

Pinch salt

1/2 c. granulated sugar

1/4 c. vegetable oil

2 egg whites

1/3 c. thawed frozen Pink Lemonade Concentrate

1/4 c. buttermilk

2 or more drops red food coloring

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line muffin pan with liners.

In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, egg whites and lemonade concentrate. Alternately whisk in flour mixture and buttermilk, making three additions of flour mixture and two of buttermilk, beating until just smooth. Add just enough food coloring to turn the batter a light shade of pink.

Scoop batter into liners (fill about three-fourths full). Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until tops of cupcakes spring back when lightly touched. Let cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely on rack. Top cooled cupcakes with frosting (see below).

Lemonade Buttercream:

3 c. + 3 Tbsp. confectioner’s sugar

1 stick unsalted butter at room temperature

1/8 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. pink lemonade concentrate

Red food coloring

Add the butter, confectioner’s sugar, salt, lemon juice, and a few drops of food coloring to the stand mixer and mix on low using the paddle attachment until combined. Turn the speed to med-high until the buttercream is fluffy and uniformly pink. Pipe or spread onto cooled cupcakes.

Yum.

Principles of Fun

Found this on StumbleUpon...just a quick little refreshing movie :)

Also, my new favorite Web site is StumbleUpon.com. I have no idea how I survived without it before. Check it out.

Sassy Gay Friend

My new favorite videos. The classic stories of Hamlet, Othello and Romeo and Juliet could have easily been avoided

if the girls had a sassy gay friend. So true. I wish I had one.

Stupid beitch.
