Big Brother 16: Donny vs. Nicole - who's gonna win??





Big Brother 16: Donny vs. Nicole - who's gonna win??

Oh, no, so my fave Donny is still on the block, and now Nicole is up on the block with him... that's gonna be pretty interesting to see which way the house goes, because #TeamAmerica still want to be together, so they can try to complete more missions, although #TeamAmerica weren't able to complete their mission, again, this week...maybe if the missions had a different feel? They're soo super-negative, and that goes against Donny's nature.... hmmm...

Oooh, I did loove when Donny called the houseguests a bunch of morons, by way of the giant angry penguin (Oved?) - hahaha!  Very funny, Donny!  Finally, he has a real moment in da Big Brother house - although, I think Donny is just a genuinely nice person, and doesn't ever say an unkind word toward anyone else - maybe that's what makes me like Donny so much, he seems very sweet and kind : )

So, we saw Frankie coming clean with the Big Brother house, telling them all that he is Ariana Grande's brother... and that he's playing for charity... I see they didn't show toooo much about how the whole house seems to feel about Frankie playing for charity, for children in Africa, which, of course, very important, but everyone else is fighting for their own lives, sooo, it's hard to say, okay, here you go, Frankie, here's all the Big Brother money, when every other house guest on Big Brother really needs that money... and I thought there was a good chance the house would've wanted Christine to put Frankie on the block, but she didn't... sooo, will be interesting to see how fame and fortune affect all the other people in the Big Brother house...

I'm not sure if Derrick is still as safe as he has seemed, so far... maybe stretching himself a little too thin, with the alliance with Victoria?  And now they're all upset, especially Zach, that maybe Frankie will just take it all away... no one wants to look like the bad guy, evicting the charity guy, right?  Tricky...smart move by Frankie, for sures...

Otay, need some tea! lol!  Maybe you would like a wee drop o' tea, too?  Go haz yoursel' a wee schneister!  See you next time!  Ailsa : )

Big Brother 16: Wow, Frankie Tells All...and how will the house react??





Big Brother 16: Wow, Frankie Tells All...and how will the house react??

Holy schmokes, Frankie has finally told the whole house who he really is, that Ariana Grande is Frankie's sister... and that Frankie is a Youtube celebrity, and a social media mogul.... AND, that Frankie is playing for a charity.... and Zach is having a VERY tough time with that fact, that Frankie doesn't need the money, and that is a huuuge deal in any game that involves winning a lot of money, enough money to change your whole life....sooo, will be very interesting to see how the whole Big Brother house reacts to Frankie's news - will they fawn all over Frankie, on the off-chance that Frankie will still love them when they all leave the Big Brother house, and really introduce Caleb to Justin Bieber, and be able to further Caleb's music career as a Country Singer?  and how about the women in the house? Victoria, for sures, will be very, very impressed that Frankie is Ariana Grande's brother... she will be imagining herself at all of Ariana Grande's concerts, that Victoria will become best friends with Ariana Grande... who wouldn't imagine fun things like that?

And I didn't even know that Christine's husband, Tim, is a musician, so for sures Christine will want to see if her friendship with Frankie in the Big Brother house will help her husband's career, too... that's natural to think something like that, right?  Man, this is gonna change everything in the house... will be fun to see how Frankie's fame will affect each of the Big Brother house guests...






Nice picture, eh?  Wow, that was painful to watch Caleb be such a jerk with Frankie during the competition - what the hell??  That seemed so excessibve, right?  And particularly mean...of course, that competition happened before Frankie told the whole house about who he really is, but, still, how could caleb be such a jerk to Frankie, and all for the sake of Amber?  Holy crap, Caleb, she doesn't like you... he just doesn't want to accept that - maybe no one has ever said no to Caleb, before, but what a baby, tonight - very bad boy! Maybe a spanking is in order...hahahaha!  Noooo, I'm'a jokin'! But that totally makes me laugh! lol! 

So when Frankie had to do the whole competition all by himself, and then he WON, woohoo!!  Go, Frankie!  Get your game on!!  Made me soo happy!  Stooopi Caleb - bleah!  







A happier, much earlier, picture of Christine and Nicole, when they still trusted each other... I hope they can come back to a place where they can work, together.... we'll see, right?  At least they both won HOH, but then Nicole lost her HOH status, when Frankie won the competition, so now all the power is in Christine's hands...

I like Zach, but he's losin' it in the Big Brother house - he's gotta listen to Derek, stay cool and calculated, not take everything so personally.... Derek seems to be sailing through Big Brother... hope he makes some money for at least one more #TeamAmerica mission, before one of the members of #TeamAmerica is evicted... it could be Frankie, since now people are really gonna be talking about who deserves to win the money, since money is a VERY big issue, and nobody takes money lightly, except people who don't need it...and a few other annoying people, but for the vast majority of people, money matters,and it's hard to say that someone playing for a charity 'needs' the money as much as, say, Derek, who is playing for his wife and 18 month old daughter, and you know that money will be soo appreciated in their lives.... ooooh, Big Brother, you bring it every time! lol!

'til next time!! Go haz yourself a lovely time!!  Ailsa : )

Rice Krispie Squares - in the Microwave - sooo easy and fast! #Cereal #EasyRecipes #WickedGoodCupcakes






Rice Krispie Squares - in the Microwave - sooo easy and fast!


Omg, how much do you love Rice Krispie Squares? I love them soo much, they're so simple, so fast and easy to make, and I feel like they must be a little bit healthy, right?? hahaha!  Whatevs, they're deeelish..but they do have some vitamins and whatnot in the Rice Krispies, and the marshmallows are Fat Free, soo, I say, make lots of Rice Krispie Squares, enjoy them yourself and maybe even with your family and friends - lol!

So here's the fastie-schmastie way to make your favorite Rice Krispie Squares, in one bowl - couldn't beee any easier! lol!




Ingredients:

Rice Krispies - I think about 6 cups... I pour them in about 2 cups at a time, sooo, whatever will fit!

1 bag of mini-marshmallows...or any marshmallows! The mini-marshmallows are so cute, and good for little snacks : >

2 Teaspoons of Vanilla  (I pour it in, sooo, you can, too, if you like - lol!)

1/3 cup butter, cut in 2 bits...or margarine, I'm sure... I am a butter girl, but I use margarine on the pan : )


See how the butter is in the bottom of the big glass bowl? Then your marshmallows go right on top of that...pop right in the microwave for 2 minutes.





While the marshmallows are in the microwave, open the vanilla, get that ready to pour...





You'll love what the marshmallows do in the microwave - they'll triple in size, all puffed up : )  Is all very exciting, so if you have kids in the house, have them come and watch - it's a very cool process, plus, kids love to help in the kitchen - maybe they can stir in the Rice Krispies : )





Take the bowl out the microwave with your oven mitts on, for safey, and you'll notice the marshmallows fall right away - no worries, you're going to quickly pour in the vanilla, then stir with a wooden spoon. I would imagine you could use any spoon, but I have my favorite wooden spoon for baking - and you prolly will, too - lol!






This is also one of the main ingredients in my absolutely crazy-delicious cheesecake...is a great ingredient!






Pour your Rice Krispies right into the melted marshmallows... you've gotta get everything ready to go for this lovely wee treat, because it's soo fast to make them, so just go ahead and pour the Rice Krispies in and start stirring right away.  I usually pour in about 6 cups of Rice Krispies, but I'm pretty sure you could pour maybe another 2 cups of Rice Krispies in... is just a matter of making sure the marshmallow gets on all the Rice Krispies, so they'll stick together, no bother : )





Pull down any stray Rice Krispies from the side of the bowl, and gently mix it all together, especially toward the end...




Here's a little trick to help you press the Rice Krispies down in the pan... I'm sure you'll have given your hands a good clean before you started, right, so just run your hands under cold water, give them a good shake, so they're lightly 'watered', if you will (lol!), then quickly press down the Rice Krispies with your whole hands.  Alternatively, you could use the same plastic wrap that you used to 'butter' the pan at the beginning... if you use a big square of plastic wrap, and put the margarine of butter on with that... I just use my hands... : )





Pop the pan in the fridge, let them cool, then cut and put out on a nice plate - yum!!  Enjoy!!





Well, that seems a little hard to read, but suffice it to say that there are lots of health benefits to eating Rice Krispies, so this is the sort of treat you can feel good about : )





And here's the deal with the mini-marshmallows - they make a great little treat all on their own, and they'll make your Rice Krispie Squares all lovely and yummy! 


Once you've made these once (how to use 'once' two or three times in one sentence - hahaha!), you'll get the hang of it so quickly, they'll become your new go-to treat - your waist and your kids will love them (and you!! lol!).

Happy Snacking!! Ailsa : )
