restrictive diets

100 calories of wine or pudding?!

Which to choose?!

What's a girl to do?!





Yes, these are the dilemmas that plague me late at night while watching HGTV or Diners, Drive-in's and Dives....

A Very Meaty Goodbye...

FAREWELL TO THE MEATBALLS!

extra meaty

What are  5 things YOU'd like to see on the finale?

In celebration (memory? mourning?) of the LAST EPISODE OF JERSEY SHORE...

Let me suggest a fabulous MEATBALL soup!  It's my new favorite and super easy!


Here's the link to the recipe from a very lovely and funny lady's blog that I stalk:

Mini Chicken Meatball Soup - How Sweet Eats

And icing on the cake:

The Shore Store - it's so ridic

Linzo says: oh PS- congrats(???) on the meatball in the oven snooks.  Your "career" of getting wasted and clubbing all night is officially over.

Disney Housewives and Snooki's engagement

Some REALLY important stuff that you need to know/see IMMEDIATELY...you can thank me later.

For the record- I DO NOT watch any Real Housewives series...not even the local nipped and tucked OC ladies cougars trash.  I mean lez-be honest...if I were to watch any of them, I'd watch Jersey...or Disney.....





Cinderella/Kristen Wiig is the standout here.  L-Lohan...I love Rapunzel, but you - not so much.


On the topic of semi-reality TV, Jersey and other hilarity....my dear Snooks is possibly

A) ENGAGED to Jianni

and B) Knocked up!





If the rumors are true...any guesses as to how this will affect her and J-Woww's show?  If Snooki can't go to Karma and jersey turnpike it with Deena then, again, lez-be honest...I'm not watching. 

Linzo says:  who am I kidding....I'm totally watching.
