No Rose for Ryan on The Bachelorette - Good for You, Emily! lol!

So Ryan finally go the boot.  Peascoot, yer oot! (use your best Scottish accent for that one! lol!), as they might say in Scotland!  Hilarious that they had the Scottish Highland Games in Croatia... really?  No money for Scotland?? hahaha!  I wouldda loved if they'd gone to Scotland, my Homeland : )  And then the Highland Games would have been authentic.  Hell, they could have had the Highland Games anywhere in North America, in Canada or America, and had a fantastic Highland Games, too... Croatia... pretty, but an odd choice, and absolutely no mention of the atrocities in Croatia, which was less than 20 years ago... you'd think they would do a tribute to the situation, at the very least, or at least acknowledge it... I mean, Emily read every tiny little detail when they were in London, and they went out of their way to explain the balancing rock jutting out from the wall, where if you can stand on it and remove your shirt (is this male, only?? hahahahaha!  Ah, that's jus' a wee joke for me, keep me amused while I'm writing! lol!), then you'll be lucky in love.... funny.

Ah, well.  It's still a fun to show to see all these fellows kill themselves laughing when Ryan's case is taken away... and, here, he thought he made soo many great new friends on the show... nope.  Maybe the men were able to recognize his skeeziness well before Emily could -- prolly on account'a his very handsome self! lol! You can see why he'd be hard to resist, and even now, even though Emily didn't give Ryan the rose, I've never seen them allow one of the bachelors or bacelorettes to plead their case for quite so long... makes me think they've left the door open for Ryan to come back.  Interesting that Emily just couldn't part with John and Doug... I don't know, there's something about Doug that concerns me... too self-deprecating is problematic, just like Ryan with his level, well, shall we say, errrr, for politeness sake, 'confidence'...! lol! I hope to God they don't do a Bachelor Ryan, because he has already blatantly said that he's a cheater (if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'... annoying...), AND he has already declared his intentions to be the next Bachelor.  Yuck. Good looks are one thing, but decency is far more important (okay, well, they're a good mix! lol!).

I really liked Arie up until that last wee bit in the show, where it soulds like Arie went out with one of her close friends, but how could she not have heard that name, before, if that were really the case?  Ooooh, a real cliff hanger on The Bachelorette with Emily! lol!

The Scottish Highland Games just down the road from our old house, the Big Fancy House, when we lived in Calgary, Alberta... the house I designed and built : >

Real Scottish Highland Games, in Scotland, surprisingly enough! lol! : ) http://www.visitscotland.com/info/events/141st-airth-highland-games-p374681

Emily the Bachelorette wants to go West Virginia Hood Rat on Their Assss! lol!

Ruh-roh, Emily's roots are showing... not just her hair (who didn't have time to get her hair done before heading to London?? lol!), but she's showing her real down home roots, taking her earrings off before she goes in for a fight?? hahahaha!  She's gonna go 'all West Virginia Hood Rat on their assses??? hahahaha!  Oooh, this just gets better and better!  Is hilarious!  And we laughed soo hard that sick l'il Emily, and she sounds sooo sick, they couldn't give her a couple of days off to recover?  But she just kept on kissing everyone, so that's hilarious... next week, they'll all be sick, except Ryan, who can only get a half a kiss if it's part of a scene (uh-oh, are ALL the kisses for a 'show'??)  That Ryan 'if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin', what an asss he is -- he is waaay worse than Kalin, who is a total D-bag, calling her wee girl, Ricki, 'baggage'.  Whenever someone refers to another person's life as 'baggage', you're dealing with an idiot who might prefer to have a teenage bride who has been, preferably, kept in a tower... it's just things that have happened to you in your life, and then you continue on with your new relationship.... baggage, what a jerk.  Now Kalin's got bagage, but his baggage is in the form of having a giant a-... oh, I canny say that!  Not here -- pop by my place, later, I'll tell you in my real words!! hahahahaha!  But you soo smart, I believe you might be able to guess da word... anyway, Emily needs to get rid of a bunch of them, and helicopter boy was a good loss.  A positive loss.  Get your baggage and get the hell outta here, so-to-speak! lol!  Okay, 'til next week... have fun, go get you some new baggage!! hahahaha!  Ailsa xox

Cranberry Pineapple Walnut Bread -- Ooooh, soo good! #Cranberries #Pineapple #Leftovers! #lol!

Fantastic Black Friday Deals and Holiday Deals for You! : ) 

Cranberry Pineapple Walnut Bread - Yum! 

Yum!! Soo 'alicious! Simple and easy to make, open a couple of cans, chop a few nuts (so-to-speak! lol!), add a few dry ingredients, and whammo, you've got delicious Cranberry Pineapple Walnut Bread... is so healthy, and if you happen to have leftover cranberries and pineapple from any holiday, now you won't waste it, you'll have something lovely to make with your leftover ingredients : )



Yum, fresh out the oven... smells sooo good!  And you know it's all jam-packed full of fruit, so it's a lovely, healthy, tasty treat!  I love it when it's really cold, straight out the fridge (cut and put in fridge as soon as the pan is cool enough... : )

These went straight over to my favourite mechanics... T'nT Mechanics at 145 College St. East in Belleville, Ontario, Canad a (613-969-6306)... Ted Taylor, the owner, used to be one of my wonderful Dad's students at Quinte High School, and Ted had such lovely words to say about my Dad, well, it just touched my heart, AND they fixed the air conditioning on my car, for which I am eternally grateful (!), so now I bring them wee treats, since I only know how to make massive amount of anything, and God Knows, I'll just eat it myself if I don't share it! hahaha! 

This is the amount I'm supposed to eat, just one little lonely piece, all by itself... but it's not possible!  Nope.  Too delicious.  I'll just put some extra time in at the gym! lol! 

You can use your leftover cranberries in Cranberry Bread... just like the Banana Bread, only you use Cranberries, instead. I generally use the whole can of Cranberries, especially if I've found them on sale, somewhere... this is really lovely bread, and you can make it like a coffee cake in a square 8" X 8" pan, or in a 9" X 13" pan (will take very little time to cook in a larger pan), or you can make it in a loaf pan... this makes a lot, especially if you are a little bit like me, and add anything you have in the house that might be delicious... that's how the pineapple and the extra chocolate got in this new batch! lol!

Go ahead and throw in the pineapple, if you have it, and some nuts, if you like them.... chocolate chips are great, too, since chocolate cranberry is a great combo, right? (Also, Cranberry/Vodka! lol!)

I'll get the link and put it up for you... :)

Banana Bread Made Easy : )

Everything you need for delicious Fruit Bread :)

Cranberry Pineapple Walnut Bread (and Chocolate ... lol!)

Stir together in a large bowl:

1 13/4 cups of Flour

1 cup Sugar

1 tsp. Baking Soda

2 tbsp. Cinnamon

Now in a smaller bowl, add the 'wet ingredients':

1 can Cranberries

1 can Pineapple bits (or any kind of pineapple you have!), drained (add a little vodka to the pineapple juice -- yum!  Now you're REALLY having fun in da kitchen! lol!)

Chopped Walnuts, 1 cup, chopped, if you have them on hand...

1 Egg

1 tsp. Vanilla

1/3 cup melted margarine (melt 30 seconds in the microwave)

If you have some nuts and raisins, toss them in, too... will be delicious! :)


Oh, don't forget to sprinkle the Cranberry Bread with LOTS of sugar (well, not a craaazy amount of sugar, but a good liberal sprinkling of sugar will give any Fruit Bread a nice crispy crust... you'll love it!), to give it a really nice finish.. will be waaay more delicious, and if you are going for more of a 'Coffee Cake', add the Crumb Topping, and that will be absolutely lovely, too : )


Bake at 350 Degrees F. for 15 - 45 minutes, depending on pan size you use, your oven and your altitude (remember to grease the pan, and/or use parchment paper so it won't burn or stick to the pan... : )

Yum!  You're gonna love this Cranberry Pineapple Walnut Bread!  You can skip the pineapple -- really, just use this base for any fruit bread (go back down to 1 1/2 cups of flour if you skip the pineapple... less liquid, so you don't need as much flour....), so if you see some canned fruit on sale, go for it, give it a try, see how you like it.  It's fun to play around in the kitchen, see what delicious things you can come up with!


Creamy Delicious Peach Pie (the Crumb Topping is on this Peach Pie...!)

#Donuts - Walnut Cream Donuts you can make at home : > #FancyDonuts #Chocolate! #Doughnuts! #Yum! #BakedDonuts




Yummy!  These little Walnut Cream Donuts are a fast and easy little treat for yourself or if you need a fast dessert that looks good in a hurry for friends who stop by ...  It's a Donut Conversion! lol!  Take a simple little donut and make it into a fancy wee dessert!

Here we are, a regular little honey glazed donut (an Old Fashioned) And you can buy these in little packs of 6 for a $1.00 -- one dollar for 6 donuts... whaaat??  It's cheap AND delicious!  The walnuts are a little pricey though, but you can put them in your salad with a little ranch dressing... is soo good!  Will make up for all the Walnut Cream Donuts you'll be eating! lol!), all tasty and simple... and then... you pop it in the microwave for 25 seconds if they're straight out the package, or 45 seconds if you've forzen them like we do... then you can just take one out whenever you feel like it... but pop it in the microwave to heat it up.

 Now add a little pile of Chopped Walnuts, after you've taken the donut out the microwave...




Add a wee drop of Whipped Cream, and Voila, a lovely warm dessert that you'll love!  You'll need a fork to eat this, so sit back and enjoy : ) It's nice to have a wee treat every now and then!  And the walnuts make it healthy, right?? hahahaha!


Okay, go find yourself some really Great Donuts of your very own!  I'm sending you a big donut hug, too! 'Til Next Time!  Ailsa : )

Me assume you a' Romantic, prolly with some Devices... bah'hahaha.. soo, these are poifect for you! : )

Shop Christmas Gifts from $3.40 at See's Candies! Yum!!

Oooh, try this, too - you know those Glazed Donuts you can pick for a Dollar? You get 6 in a pack? Well, I always forget that we've got them, so when I finally remember, I pop whatever's left into the oven, on Parchment Paper, bake for about 10 to 15 minutes (whenever I remember, which is obvs the way I live, now - haha! Whenever I remember - hahaha!) ...

Anyway, take the hot donuts out the oven, then I cut each donut like it's a pie, now - I keep a sharp knife in the donut box, when we get a big box of donuts for my son, Aidan - lol! I loove just a little bite (then some more little bites - lol!)

But it changes the texture and flavor of the donut, when you bake them - so good! And don't forget to cut them into little pieces! Like a Pie, baby! lol! Sooo good! Yum!

And, doughnuts, for the purists! lol! Any way you spell them, they're delicious! lol! : )

You'll love them, the kids will love them! lol! Yum!
