Thursday Thunks

Kids falling out, revenge and unmentionables

Welcome to the September 3rd version of Thursday Thunks!
(which we always seem to post on Wednesday)
Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!
This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Berleen, the number one thousand twenty six and the color of the dirt spot you need to wipe up on your kitchen floor.

1. Your thoughts on truck drivers? Saw one in Hana Yori Dango: Final The Movie.
Big, Tough and Muscled!

2. Did you hear Michelle Duggar is pregnant for the 15th time? (but that will be kid #19 if you lost count....)
Just now. That's great! I love their house.

3. Have you ever done something to hurt someone intentionally... just for the sole purpose of hurting them because you thought they deserved it? Maybe a paybacks a bitch sort of thing?
Not really. I usually get hurt.

4. Is there anyone in your life that when you go to their place of residence, you just walk in without bother knocking? Does anyone just walk into your house without knocking?
Never. I think I'd get shot or they'd shot.

5. Whats in the trunk of your car? Do you even have a clue?
The SUV doesn't have a trunk. But the storage area has tons of cd cases from Barney and Elmo and all the other stuff.

6. When you go to a family holiday get together (such as Christmas or Thanksgiving), about how many people are there?
Maximum of 11 left in this boondocks.

7. What is in your kitchen sink right at this very moment?
Soap suds from washing baby bottles.

8. You go to a store to buy an expensive item... say $150. You pick up that item and a couple other this n' thats. You get to the register and the expensive item rings up at $40. The cashier doesn't seem to notice and tells you your total. Do you go with what they say and pay it or do you question the price difference? You know you would question it if your $40 item rang up at $150....
This happened with a bunch of diapers ... not exactly $150 but you get the picture. I asked the cashier, the cashier dumbly answered it was on sale. The error was in the computer and she couldn't do anything about it.

9. Do you fold your underwear or do you just toss it in a drawer?
I fold.

10. There is a Harley-Davidson giveaway. Chances are $100 and they are only selling 250 tickets. Do you buy one?
No. Not into motorcycles. I'd fall flat on my face.

11. Who is your favorite Disney character?
Boo of Monsters Inc. Wait, is that Disney? Maybe, Tinkerbell.

12. It's September - most of the weekly sitcoms/dramas are starting new seasons again. Which one are you most looking forward to?
I love this question!!!!! Posted my answers here.

13. You are at a grocery store and are on your way out to your car with your cart full of grocery bags. On your way to your car you see a black kitten in an empty cart. What do you do?





Take the kitten home. Kidding, we have enough pets already.

14. Is there anything that you do for a hobby that you are asked to do for friends/family that most people would hire a professional to do? (example: cake decorating, fixing cars....)
Cook my carbonara and pansit palabok. (they ask so they can serve it at their parties)

15. Are we there yet? Almost!

Making use of Caliente Salsa

One of the things my mom brought home besides capuccino are condiments from the States. Among them are salsas. I think she bought at least 5 jars. The one I liked the most was the Caliente Salsa. I made a lot of experiments with it. Adding them to nachos, and different kinds of chips. It works best with chips that are cheesy in flavor. But that's my palate. The others that she brought home with her was the Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce and the Jalapeno Pepper Jelly.

They all have different tastes but the caliente salsa won me over. I like food that is hot and spicy. You can add the salsa to a lot of different things. I read that you can use it as a dip, use them in sauces to add some zing to your food and make it into its very own food group. You can top it to any fried food to just make that tiny difference for your tastebud.

What about you? How do you use salsa?

Tuesday Couch Potatoes: Sandra Bullock Movie

Cover of The Lake House

Tuesday Couch Potatoes topic for today is a Sandra Bullock Movie.
I watched most of her movies, and I am looking forward to seeing her in 'the proposal'.



This was almost a tough decision to make since I love her in most movies ever since I saw her at 'The Net.'
But the romantic in me just had to pick The LakeHouse. Don't get me wrong, I love all her movies. I don't think she ever did a bad one except probably the one with Sylvester Stallone and Speed 2.
This movie, of all her movies was just so emotional for me. I was always in tears while watching this.
The synopsis? I can't even begin how to describe the movie.

Here's a summary I picked out

Kate Forster is moving out from her lake house, built all of it with glass. She is a doctor and has just begin to work in a hospital in Chicago, moving to a new flat in the center of the city. Alex Wyler is the new owner of the lake house, a young architect who's working in the construction of a new complex of houses at the city skirts. Alex and Kate are maintaining a correspondence, talking about the house matters, sending each other letters, which are put in the lake house's letter box. But a strange thing is happening, because both of them find out that the letter box is working as a kind of time communication channel, between the year 2004, where Alex's living, and 2006, the year that Kate's actually living. After sending each other many letters talking about their lives, and Kate talking to Alex about how life will be in two years, it seems like they're falling in love each other. But maybe they will never meet each other, because of the time distance. Nevertheless, Kate comes up with a memory from 2004, when she forgot a book in a train station, Jane Austen's "Persuasion", and she'll ask Alex to go to that place in that precise moment, when she lost the book. Maybe the future of Kate is about to change, when Alex decides to meet Kate's other self in the past, despite the fact that she has a boyfriend. They will learn that playing with time could be a little bit dangerous for both of them, but Alex will take everything into his hands to finally meet Kate in the future. Written by Alejandro Frias
