Green Day performs East Jesus Nowhere with Will Ferrell on CowBell – SNL

I’m not sure if i’ve made myself clear, but i truly, deeply, lustfully love Billie Joe and he is the only one on my “list“.    My sister and I went to Ikea last week and on the way down, I confessed to her that I was hoping we’d run into him and his family there.  He lives in the east bay.  Ikea is in the east bay.  The Armstrongs are moving into a new house.  People need stuff from Ikea when they move.

Irrational as that may sound, it could happen.  So i always dress nice for Ikea.

(incidentally, i truly admire his wife, adrienne, and would be almost as gaga over her as i am him, if and when we accidentally bump into each other at Ikea)

(and another thing, it’s obvious in the video that Will Ferrell had never heard this song.  -10 pts for his tragically unhip faux pas)

but had to eat my words.  And they were DELICIOUS!

You know those recipes that claim “30 minutes or less!” and they never are??  I found one today that claimed “27 minutes” and sounded good, and was something my cooking challenged self could handle.  So I figured I’d time it.  These recipes are always timed in a “test kitchen” where the pantry is always fully stocked, there are multiple assistants and no one has to step around cats and dogs waiting for scraps.

However, this recipe was true to it’s word, despite my culinary handicaps.  And Keith liked it.  A lot.  So it’s a keeper.

I’ve been following a blog by a FABULOUS German SU! Demonstrator – and thought you should take a gander.  She has the most beautiful stampin eye candy and while I can’t read her language, I do understand the language of STAMPIN!  and i’m in love… heh.
