Big Brother 16:  Amber's on the block...will Caleb still want to save her (for himself?? lol!)

Ruh-roh, Amber was backdoored by Frankie, after Hayden had won the Veto competition and took Victoria off the block, but now Nicole is getting jealous of Victoria, because she thinks Hayden maybe has a little thing for Victoria, and now he's saved her form the block??? lol!  Noo, Hayden is so sweet, I think he only has eyes for Nicole, and that was super cute that Nicole did her little strip tease to take off her German outfit, and Hayden thought that was so cute that Nicole was terrible at that - a Good Thing, for Hayden - lol!

Soo, I like Amber, but what's with the zero reaction to anything?  Zombie, much? lol!  Wouldn't you at least say, "I shouldn't be judged harshly because I don't reciprocate Caleb's feelings, let me play my own game", but instead, Amber stays absolutely silent, not even any facial reaction... that's weird, right?  Oooh, and I was soo disappointed that Amber didn't have at least a little reaction to the Zach Attack, so #TeamAmerica could have completed their mission, and gotten some more moula, right?  That would've been fantastic for #TeamAmerica - would have given then $15,000 each - that's huge!  Soo, I relaly hope #TeamAmerica can complete their next task, get that money!

Man, I love Frankie - by far, he's my favorite house guest.... and I love this picture of Frankie with his lovely sister, Ariana Grande - I'm amazed he's been able to keep that a secret, this whole time...  how cute is this picture? Soo cute!

Man, Jocasta must be playing a good social game - I'm religious, too, but is any one else getting a little annoyed with all the Praise Jesus stuff on the show? I dunno, it seems excessive, and not very likely to work for converting other people, if that's what that is intended to do, and I pray all the time, so I'm not sure why I find that, and the whole 'speaking in tongues' thing annoying... haha1  Ah, well, whatever Jocasta's doing, it's working for her, so if it's her own work, or God's work, it's all working! lol!

So, we'll see what happens to ol' Amber...yikes!  Will Caleb step up and try to save her?  I think Caleb still thinks he's got a great shot with Amber, since he thinks they had such a great date - hahaha!  I laughed out loud when Caleb said that...poor guy, but it does suck that amber sems to be paying the price for not being attracted to Caleb, and he's mad for her... but she's also not playing a good game, not with the women, when Joey had first tried to start an all girl alliance, and not really dealing with the whole Caleb situation... so, amber might be on ehr way out the Big Brother door...

Until next time!! Go haz some fun! Ailsa : )

Make a 'Throw-it-Together' cake - what to do with your leftover cake - make a whole NEW cake! lol!

Make a 'Throw-it-Together' cake - what to do with your leftover cake - make a whole NEW cake! lol!

What can you do with leftover cake??  Here's what to do - make a NEW cake!

You know me, I hate to throw anything away, I'm not a waster kind o' girl... I love to find a new life for something old - like the crazy cake I bought, thought was a'gonna be deelicious, and no, it totally wasn't, jus' a plain ol' cake, soo, I didn't eat it, but I also didn't want to just toss it out, you know?  Sooo, here's what I did...

See how much of the cake I had left?  Holy schmokes, it really was soo plain Jane, you know - I really, really wanted that cake, too, it looked really good in the store, and I thought it was a coffee cake with cream cheese icing, turns out to just be a pound cake with a lemon Greek Yogurt icing...ick. Yuck. Too plain for me - lol!

So here's how I 'saved' this cake - by throwing a bunch o' stuffs in it, make it delicious!

So I just cut the cake up into squares-ish...nothing fancy, just cut up whatever cake you have left over, including the icing, and toss it in an 8" X 8" buttered pan. I used a 9" X 13" pan, just because I had a ludicrous amount of extra leftover cake... and this is a great recipe for your leftover cake...

Then, I found a jar of unopened Maraschino Cherries in the cupboard, so I thought, well, I'll just throw that in, too...

So far, so good, right?  I just poured the entire jar of Maraschino Cherries in, including the liquid.

So then you need something to hold the whole thing, together, sooo, I used :

4 eggs

Splash of Milk - maybe a 1/2 a cup?  You can adjust that, depending on how many eggs you use, and how much leftover cake you have! lol!)

Splash of Vanilla

Then I poured in some sugar, maybe a 1/2 a cup

And some Brown Sugar, about a half a cup

And a bunch of Cinnamon... maybe 2 tablespoons...

Mix that really well, and pour over the cake pieces.

Pop in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 20 - 30 minutes, then take it out and sprinkle on the Brown Sugar Topping.  You can make more or less, depending on the size of pan...

Brown Sugar Topping:

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup flour

1/4 cup melted butter (or margarine)

Using a fork or a pastry cutter, mix it roughly to create 'crumbs'.

You can totally skip this stage, I just really like this topping : )

Use your fingers to sprinkle on the topping - will be much easier than pouring it straight from the bowl... a good little trick is to sprinkle from the outside, in, so you have a nice even topping.. or do whatever you like! lol!

Looks yummy, already, right?  I love the Maraschino Cherries - who knew?  Looks super fancy! lol!

And there it is, all done!  And no cake wasted!  Yahoo!  Think I'll go have one more piece!  I like it with a little (okay,you got me, a lot!) of whipcream - yum!  Or would be very nice with a nice scoop of ice cream : )  

Oh, was just thinking - if you have any fresh fruit, or canned fruit, or maybe canned pie filing, you could totally try that, too...would be delicious, and be sure to use the liquid, too.  I wonder if I could have added a cup of some nice juice, too?  Hmmm... that's the fun part of a 'Throw-it-Together' cake - just throw in whatever you have in the house! lol!  : >  

Enjoy!!! Your Not-Wasty-Ailsa! lol! : )

Big Brother 16: Zach Attack?? Has Zach Gone Mad with Power? lol!

Big Brother 16:  Zach Attack?? Has Zach Gone Mad with Power? lol!  So, is Zach losin' it?  For a while, there, Zach was looking like a good guy, concerned about other house guests, being nice and kind, then then, whammo, we're got a crazy on our hands! lol!  Poor kid, he's gone power-mad!  And Zach was not amused by being hit in the face with the cake - Ooooww, says, Zach... lol!  Sort o' funny... but he's losing his good friend, Frankie, who knows he can't depend on Zach to keep it together, and that makes Zach a target...

But, if Zach has become the new target, from being sooo mean to Nicole, who really is a sweet girl, no need to take it to such a personal level, right? That was like a Grade 6 insult, wasn't it?  And really hurt Nicole's feelings..sooo glad Nicole and Christine worked together so well to win the competition.

Is interesting that Jocasta says her voice wasn't heard when she was in the competition with Victoria - you have to make yourself be heard...and little Victoria, she seems have to have no idea why she keeps being put up on the block, but she seems to have no game, whatsoever. You can't really just stand alone in the Big Brother house, you gotta team up with other house guests, work in a team... but Victoria might still be safe, if Amber or Zach are put on the block, if either Victoria or Jocasta can get themselves off the block...



(Well, hmmmm, have no idea why that paragraph just turned blue and is all underlined - lol! Super weird!  A computah' mystery! lol!)


#BBDate - lol!

One of my favorite bits of Big Brother, tonight, was the date Caleb finally 'won' with Amber...by eating a pickle. Hilarious, on pretty much every level... this kid, he just doesn't pick up on any of the 5 zillion social cues Amber is giving off...hahaha!  So Caleb eats this stooopid pickle, Amber feels like she might as well get that over with, which is a good idea, and their 'date' was hilarious - lots of silence, Amber all squished into herself, blocking her whole body - that body language made me laugh... she couldn't be any less interested in Caleb - she was even looking over a Cody during their 'date', and Caleb had to remind her to pay attention to him...hahahahahaha!  So that puts a target on all three of them, amber, Cody and Caleb. Which is so unfair to Amber, since she just isn't interested in Caleb - oh, and I was watching some of the Big Brother After Dark, and Caleb is talking endlessly with Jocasta about Amber, how she just doesn't get how appreciative she she be of him, that Caleb is the one who is carrying her through the game...ugh!  But that stuff makes me laugh, iz funny...

Sooo, will be soo interesting to see whether the house wants Zach to go home, after all his very bad behavior, this week... you've gotta be soo careful in the Big Brother house! lol!  Until next time, go haz lots o' fun!! Ailsa : )
