Life Blog | Personal Finance News & Advice Mint is, in all honesty, one of the best spring investments you can make. No, not Mint.com — that’s a given. Mint as in, the herb. For as little as $2.50 per pot at a farmer’s market, you’ll have years of bounty. The perennial is hardy: Frugal Foodie has had the same pot on her balcony going on five years now. Growing your own is a much better bet than buying fresh from the supermarket, where a tiny clam shell costs $2 and loses its pep within days. There are also numerous mint varieties beyond a basic mint, if you feel like getting adventurous. Frugal Foodie likes chocolate and ginger mints, and there are also pineapple, orange and apple, among others. Even if you’re not much of a chef, mint is a great investment for bar purposes alone. We asked cocktail aficionados for their best options. Strawberry Mint Champagne Cocktail Mint-infused syrup provides a little zing in this recipe from Michelle Maskaly of “The Adirondack Chick.” Want a mintier flavor?

But it’s like a cookie on top of another cookie! Yeah. Like total dirty cookie on cookie action. Except these ones down below wanted to try a few different positions. I dunno… they’re all mixed up. In order to solve a common I-want-a-chocolate-CHOCOLATE-cookie-but-he-wants-a-plain-chocolate chip-cookie dilemma that happens like, every single weekend here… I made both. Some of them smashed up against each other while others sat on top of each other but in the end, they all tasted… fantabulous. And then they tasted extra delicious after I spent two hours cleaning out the contents of our bar (take that as you will), after he spent three hours organizing the pantry (that was weird) and after we both needed to severely eat our emotions immediately post-Boardwalk Empire finale. WHAT was that. ??????? Why??? Then I tried to dunk a cookie in milk and failed. I need cookie dunking lessons, a redo on season 2 (thanks HBO), and a salad. [from giant rainbow cookies]
How To Make Rage Faces on Facebook Chat Simply type the above code that corresponds to the appropriate rage face into Facebook chat, and the image of the rage face you chose will appear, emoticon-like in its existence. Facebook didn’t suddenly become hip to the Internet and add rage face emoticons (something from which Google Chat would greatly benefit), but the ability to add rage faces to Facebook chat is more of a hack than anything else, and something to which you can add. Reddit user daychilde explains that these aren’t actually some form of ragemoticon, but that the double bracket and code corresponds to a user profile or page, and when put into Facebook chat, will show the thumbnail of the profile or page that the code links to. So, all one has to do to make any picture a Facebook chat emoticon, is to simply create a user profile or page that uses the desired picture as the profile picture, then enter the double brackets and corresponding code into Facebook chat. Happy raging. (via reddit) Relevant to your interests
Cheesecake Capuccina for lasañera kedada El pasado 15 de septiembre tuve la oportunidad de participar en la jornada de Gastronómodas que se celebró en Zaragoza. Lo pasamos genial, nos reencontramos con amigos, pusimos cara a unos y conocimos a otros. En la mesa al final nos pusimos todos maños y hablando, hablando salió la conversación de que Luis, el marido de Susana, hacía la mejor lasaña del mundo. BeatriZ se picó porque su lasaña era fabulosa y el resto de la mesa que hicimos??? Animarles a que las hicieran y nosotros las catabamos, jajaja. Ello se tradujo en que el pasado sábado día 27 de octubre quedamos a degustar 4 magnificas lasañas!!! Susana además preparó un riquisimo salmorejo y helado de queso San Simón, qué rico!!! Como yo no tengo una receta de lasaña de impresionar, elegí llevar el postre y así surgió el preparar esta rica tarta de queso capuccina. Ojo, no es una tarta ligera, todo lo contrario, es muy consistente. Aquí podeis ver las recetas de Cecilia y Rosa, Susana y BeatriZ. Ingredientes: base: relleno: cobertura:
Ice Cream Cookie Pie I can’t explain what possessed me to bake an enormous chocolate chip cookie in the bottom of a pie plate and then pile it high with hot fudge, mint chip ice cream, whipped cream, toasted almonds and chocolate shavings. I could try to convince you that I was motivated by it being Pi(e) Day, but seeing as 3.14 came and went a few days ago that reason wouldn’t really be valid. Or I could blame the green ice cream on St. Patrick’s Day coming up. The truth is…I made this Ice Cream Cookie Pie because I knew it would be so good! I freely admit it, I completely gave in to an wholly hedonistic desire on my part to make a cookie sundae. I’ve been dreaming about ways I could execute this pie ever since I found a recipe for a cookie-crusted ice cream pie on the back of a package of store-bought chocolate chip cookies almost two years ago. If you like cookies and ice cream, this is your pie. Ice Cream Cookie Pie Total time: 10 hours Yield: 8 servings Preheat the oven to 350°F.
