Bridalplasty - It's always playing somewhere in the world - wonder where it is, right now? lol! 

Omg, what a ripoff Bridalplasty was, tonight.  Allyson won the biggest, fanciest, wedding of her dreams, puny as they may be, which clearly don't include getting a job... ugh.  They just wanted to show the girl with the most transformations, not an actual WINNER.  No competition allowed, because then Allyson would NEVER have won.  Puh-leeease.  Why didn't they just call it Fat Farm, and get it over with??  The laziest, do-nothing girl wins the wedding day... man, why didn't they just get ALL heavy girls??  And after her horrific language during the 'speeches'???  Ugh!  What kind of low-end yuck speaks like that??  That's disgusting.  I would LOVE to see pictures of her NOW, and six months from now, and guaranteed, Allyson will look exactly like she did when she first entered the Bridalplasty house.  Ugh.  I'm soo mad that we watched for all those weeks, thinking there really WAS a competition, and it was all in fun.  Ugh.  Man, I just canny hide me disgust, that someone that vulgar would have won such a pretty wedding.  Why didn't they give her some etiquette lessons, teach her how to write (did you see, when she was asked to 'write a speech', she didn't have a clue what to write, so she didn't write anythingWTF??  But it's the foul, horrible language Allyson used, sooo readily, when the other 'brides-to-be' were asking questions, when Allyson was fighting with Janessa... pure filth. And why didn't they give her some JOB TRAINING, or some parenting skills, since I didn't see her say too much about her children in all the time she was away from them -- what mother doesn't miss her children terribly when they are away from her???  Ugh.  (How many times have I said 'ugh', now?? lol!  Not enough!!)

If they wanted to show 'most improved under the knife', why didn't they choose Alexandra, who has a very pretty face (but she has a terrible tongue, too...), or Lisa Marie??  Man, they could've done massive improvements on Lisa Marie.  Why bother going through all the ruse of Bridalplasty, if the producers had already chosen the one they wanted to makeover, from the beginning??  I know it's Reality TV, and you always think 'hey, is this thing rigged so the right sex wins, or the right size wins, or the right color wins, this time around (a theory of one of my friends...).  Then it's no fun, any more.  Why root for anybody, if the whole damn thing is fixed??  What up with that, Bridalplasty??

I thought it was interesting at the end, when they were showing how much was spent on each individual item for the 'Dream Wedding', and no cost was attached for Catering.  Really?  Is catering free, now?  That's typically the most expensive aspect of the wedding... and the Venue was FREE?  Not in California, it isn't.  NOTHING is free in Hollywood. Everything comes with a price.

Did you see all the 'couples' at Allyson's wedding?  Would have been waaay funnier if all of the girls had different men on their arms, but that's just cynical me... sowwy!  I was looking for something good in the show... but nothing.  Poor Janessa.  She would've seen through this as it was happening.. Janessa must be piiisssed. Even more than Cheyenne.  Do you think even Cheyenne realized the ruse by the time Allyson's wedding rolled around??  That none of the other girls stood a chance?  Why didn't they call it 'My Fair Lady'.. really, I want to say, why didn't they call it 'My Fat Lady', but how much twouble will I get into for saying the truth out loud??? haha!  Whatever.  I've been a fatty, and I went to the GYM, and changed my eating habits, just like everyone else who has successfully lost the weight... it's in not insurmountable... You can't look at that show and not see it for what it is, now.. really, all Allyson ever needed to do was go to the gym (d'uh), and get her teeth fixed.

Will I stop watching Reality TV after this Bridalplasty charade?  No.  I looove Reality TV. It's entertaining, and it's fun to write about... I just hope that if they bother to produce this show, again, they have competitions that are fair and square.  And I hope Janessa gets to go on the talkshows, too, so she can say her piece, because I'm pretty sure she'll have something to say about Allyson winning over her... even a coin toss would've had more fairness to it.  And those brides really went to town on Janessa... that was a lot of swearing, from these 'lovely' ladies... and I use the word 'ladies', very, very loosely! haha! 

Well, Bridalplasty's over, and Allyson had her Dream Wedding -- how long do you think the marriage will last?? As long as the weight stays off?  Whatever. In light of this very annoying ruse, they should've let each Bride-to-Be take all the things they had accumulated by the time they were 'voted off', home with them, the wedding dresses, the money, the trips, their teeth -- that would've been a fair thing to do, a little compensation for their time. Maybe that's why they couldn't call Bridalplasty 'My FAIR Lady', since there was nothing fair about it... otay, dat all da bitterness out!! haha!  And I would've been happy if Allyson had won in an honest way... surely they could have rigged it up to at least look fair... after all, it's a show for WOMEN, and we hate being treated unfairly!  Ugh.  There.  That's my last 'ugh! of da evening!!  I think I'll go have a Bailey's, watch some news, get me brain back on track!! lol! Ailsa xox

#CrabLegs #RomanticDinner The Perfect Romantic Dinner at Home xox! #Romance #Aphrodisiacs #ValentinesDay #SeafoodDinner



Maybe a Trip is in order?? That's Romantic! lol! 


Valentine's Day Dinner for Two (or more! lol!) 

Or Any time you want something fancy! : )

Romantic Seafood Dinner For Two... or the whole family! .... and more of my favorite Recipes :)

Crab Legs are easier to make at home than you might think --  just 14 minutes in boiling water, completely covered, and you're ready to go... just melt some butter in the microwave... Yum!!
This is a lovely meal for a Romantic Dinner for Two at any time of the year, so no need to wait for Valentine's Day to roll around  to make it... people love a Home Cooked Meal (when it's good! lol!), and this is a nice, intimate way of getting to know each other, or finding out if you have compatible tastes, since that will make a huge difference in how well you get along over the long-run. (If he loves Liquid Squid and you love KFC, that ain't-a gonna work out... unless he's filthy stinkin' rich and very handsome, in which case, maybe add some tobasco sauce and see what happens! ha,ha,ha!)

You know that old adage that you can reach a Man's Heart through his Stomach?? Yes, that is a lovely thought, and it is true enough. Works for Women, too! So why not have a few delicious Recipes up your sleeve, so-to-speak, to make for your 'Sweetie', or 'soon-to-be-sweetie', or, "Oh, please, please, please-be-my-Sweetie', depending on your current level of desperation! ya'ha,ha,ha!

Okay, please don't be desperate, because that won't make you a better cook, or get a really good person to love you. They need to love you just for the fantastic person that you already are, and if not, make something delicious for somebody else. No point in wasting tasty food on some loser, right?? No, no. You want to make sure that your Heart's Desire is worthy of your Time, Money and Ingredients... oh, I'm all about the Romance, as you can see!

Have a wee look at these tried and true Recipes, and see what appeals to you for a fabulous Romantic Dinner, or perhaps skip the dinner and go straight to the Dessert!

Crab Legs -- Red and deeelicious, especially if you are partial to Butter! ha,ha!

Quick Cooking Secret: I learned how to cook Crab Legs when I was a waitress at a great Seafood Restaurant in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, when I was a student at Queen's University. One of the most useful lessons I learned during 'the schoolin' years'!

Take Frozen or Fresh Crab Legs (Snow Crab or King Crab), place them gently in some salted water that is at a rolling boil, making sure they are completely submerged.  I use a giant crab pot for seafood, but any great big pot will work nicely. Boil for 14 minutes. Use Tongs to work with the Crab Legs. I put out scissors and crab crackers to get into the crab meat easily, and everyone gets their own individual wee bowl of hot, melted butter. (You can heat up all the little dishes of butter at the same time in the microwave, or heat the butter on the stove... really, I'm a microwave girl... much faster and easier! lol!) Hungry, yet?? Think I'll make this for dinner, tonight! Yum!

A lovely Shrimp Ring is always nice, too, if you love Shrimp as much as we do! If you happen to forget to pick up some Seafood Sauce for the Shrimp, don't cry. Weeping won't help as much as you might think... just mix some Ketchup with some Horse Radish, and you should be all set. Serve it around a nice Wine Glass, if you're goin' for the 'classier' look...

Little Tip: As soon as someone says, "OOOoh, Claaassy", you know you've found someone who might be lookin' at their first Fancy schmancy wine glass. It's up to you whether to take advantage of that, or not. (Why not? They probably won't notice...)



I used to like to make Crab Legs, and my husband at the time (!) made the Steak (Filet Mignon), and we had that for our 'At-Home' meal on Valentines. You can serve the Crab Legs and Steak with Red Baby Potatoes, Red Peppers done in a lovely BBQ Marinade, and maybe even some Onion Barley, if you feel an aphrodisiac may be in order...!

Cherry Cheesecake -- perfect for a lovely Valentine's Dessert. Sooo delicious! See how easy... https://buildyourownhousebodylife.blogspot.ca/2010/10/cherrycheesecake-marry-me-cheesecake.html 
I made a huuge 'sheet cake' version of my favourite Cherry Cheesecake in a 9" X 13" glass pan ... lasted for ages, was sooo big! And deeelicious!



Fancy Fruit Puffs - These lovely wee Fruit Puffs are particularly easy to make, and very nice to serve. Pop in to get the Recipe for Fruit Puffs.

You can serve just the berries, too - they look lovely on the table, and you can serve them in a wee bowl or Martini Glass, with a little bit of Whip Cream on top -- everybody loves Whip Cream!!



 
 
 
 
 


Red Stuffed Peppers (just switch the green peppers for the red peppers! lol!)-- these are really delicious (man, I must come up with another word to describe food I love!), and you can make a whole bunch of them, and freeze the extras. I know these are the green stuffed peppers, but I'm sure you'll have no problem spotting the Red Peppers in the Veggie Section at the Grocery store! 



If your man loves meat, try this delicious and filling Steak Pie... oh, it's soo good!  Crazy delicious, and NO icky kidneys!! haha!  I use steak and sausage (and mushrooms) in my Steak Pie... it's adjusted from the traditional British Steak Pie to a much more appetizing North American version! lol!  You can serve it with some lovely mashed potatoes and green beans, or whatever other veggies you happen to like!







Phenomenal Peach Pie... really, this peach pie is incredible, and even better in the morning for breakfast!! lol!

Men love Peach Pie (so do women - okay, you got me, everybody loves da Peach Pie - lol!), and this peach pie is best served cold... the colder it gets, the better it tastes!  Now I'm gonna have to make one, tomorrow! lol!

  Okay, now this message is mostly for the men out there in computerland... if your wife or girlfriend, or fling, or whatever she is to you (or your MOM!!  Hey, this is a day to celebrate love, and who loves you more than your Mom?? haha!), is preparing a nice dinner for you, for God's Sake don't show up empty-handed... no.  She won't forgive you, and she'll never forget your thoughtlessness (although she will say she will, maybe...)... it's a better investment to get some flowers, at the very least... unless you're bringing some serious A-Game... then maybe you will be forgiven, but why not bring your A-Game AND some pretty gifts?? lol! Good luck with that! xox

 Oh, and here's a little recipe I was thinking about while I was watching #BigBrotherAfterDark last night - lol! Now I'm trying to figure out how I could make this so it would be like Churros, for my son, who really, really misses all the delicious Churros we used to get in California - no good Mexican restaurants, up here in the North - booo!  Come on up, El Pollo Loco or Chipotle, or both!!  We would looove some delicious Mexican Food up here in Canada! : ) (Pweeease!!)

#BBHaveNots - So, it looks like the BB Have Nots have a lot more options than they used to have, right?  And you know how the HaveNots have Hawaiian Buns, this week?  I wonder if they could slice them, thick slices, fry them in a pan of a little oil, then toss in cinnamon sugar?

Man, that sounds deeelish, right?  Now me wants to try that!

(Cinnamon Sugar, in case you haven't made it, yet, is just a nice mix of , say, a couple of tablespoons of cinnamon, and maybe about a half cup of sugar - you can add more cinnamon, to taste... is a good sprinkle for all sorts of wee things! lol!)

Okay, here's some other stuff me haz been a'thinkin' about, this week - lol! Ailsa : )

And here's where you can get some REAL Hawaiian Buns! lol! By the time you're done laying out on the beach in Hawaii, you'll have some Hawaiian Buns of yer own - bah'hahahaha!
