Fry day on Sunday!

This weekend, I was cleaning out the basement when I noticed my dad's perfectly good deep fryer collecting dust. Unacceptable (to this foodie)! I revived that sucker up from the dead and prepped it for some good ol' fashion frying. After a trip to the grocery store, a friend and I picked out some quick dinner options, followed by oreos and pickles for dipping.

Poured in some (1 gallon) of pure canola oil...

And off to the races!

Frankie loved him some waffle fries...

After digesting for a few minutes and checking out the Oscars Red Carpet, we slipped into dessert mode...

 The leftover Oreo batter made a great funnel cake...

A carnival in the kitchen, if you will!

But this morning, I was off to the grocery store once again... for carrots, spinach, and apples- sans deep fryer.

(Recipe for Oreo batter can be found HERE)

A Full Post, Monday!

Last night was the 83rd Academy Awards, which meant it was time for another red carpet affair.

For us ladies, a chance to throw fashion kiss or diss. 

Some of my favorites included....

Mila Kunis, who looked flawless

Reese, in simple yet classy black and ivory

Jennifer Hudson, Gorgeous!

Sorry Ladies, but my disses must go to...

Cate Blanchett. The Human Easter Egg

Although her hair and makeup look amazing, Sorry Scarlet

Amy Adams, and her blue sequence extravaganza

Overall, the show was a success. Trying to appeal to the younger audiences, Franco and Hathaway hosted. Hathaway had a good performance, while Franco fell flat on his face. 

Perhaps we should get Ellen Degeneres back up on that stage, Please!

Sugar Cleanse Update
This weekend, I must admit, came upon me and I had a little slip up. With some Chocolate Chip Cookies and a Kit Kat Bar thrown into the equation, the sugar cleanse was put on hold. I am, however, back on board, and ready to continue this week with the loss of Sugar and all that it comes with. Here we go again!

ANDDDD FINAALLYYY...

1. Keep up with this Sugar Cleanse again!

2. Stay optimistic about... Everything

3. Make plans to either visit HP world or jump out of an airplane in less than 14 days

4. Write a few snail mail letters (including getting my dad his birthday card!)

5. Do the Spring Closet change and rock what I got!

And that is all... Happy Monday!
