Mountain Dew Cupcakes and Cookies Dough Pie

So, Steffeee and Brima have stumbled upon these two baking-related recipes. Cookie Dough Pie and Mountain Dew Cupcakes.

Since Steffeee's off, away in college-land, her little sister has been taking her place.

It all started out as a typical Wednesday, a lot of sitting around discussing what to do, nose-touching, and movies. First we watched Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog! Then we made a Wal-Mart run to grab any items we needed for the baking. And of course we picked up other unrelated things.

This is Mully as a Marge Simpson Lumberjack.

"Brima: First.. we get the butter. And then we beat it."The awesomeness of the mixer weights it down!
Ozzy wants to help!Adding some Mountain Dew!Ozzy got distracting from the super-fun-plastic bags.These are the cupcake liners we found in Walmart that we just had to get, I mean.. look at them. Party hats!
By the way, this is proof Amanda was around. This picture is upside-down.
Purple icing to finish off the Mountain Dew cupcakes! They were better than Brima expected them to be.

Here's a fun picture of Ozzy, just because he's Ozzy.

"Ozzy: wtf you lookin' at?"

Orange Fiasco

So, Steffeee and Brima's good friend Mully had a party for himself and his niece, Kay. Since we had some time after our Pepper Fest, we stopped in to visit him and say Happy Birthday.

Then someone mentioned that they had Orange Drink at the party and had to finish it tonight, and what's not gone tonight, had to be thrown away.

That's when Steffeee challenged Mully to a Orange Drink Drink-off. Chugging contest. This contest ended up having 4 rounds. And some belly-aching friends.

Round 1. ding ding. The guy on the far right with the Coors Light was some friend of Mully's family that was drunk. He wanted to "join" our "orange drink" chugging.

Result of Round 1: Mully finishes while Steffeee has half a glass left.

Round 2! As you can see, Mully's just finishing and Steffeee's about halfway there. Chug Steffeee, chug!



Result of Round 2: Mully finishes while Steffeee has half a glass left.

How ya feeling Steffeee and Mully? Have enough? Does your stomach hurt yet? Not enough apparently.

In the 3rd Round, Brima decided to join in, and only had one glass the entire night, and she could feel all the sugar and orange drink effecting her with one glass alone.





Result of Round 3: Mully finishes while Steffeee (and Brima this time) has half a glass left.

You can comapare how the next round effected them in the next picture.
You'd think they would have quit. Nope. Not Steffeee. Mully looked over at her, and said "Steph.. one more round?" How could Steffeee refuse?

On the very last round, Amanda joined in, and everyone only had a half a cup. They couldn't take a full one. Mully and Steffeee just about threw up when they were done.

Steffeee later recovered from her Orange Drink situation about an hour and two bottles of water later, at home. We haven't talked to Mully since the Orange Drink Fiasco, hope he's still alive.

Pepper Festival

The Pepper Festival. The Festival of Peppers. It's a magical place with heat radiating off of the stands. The entire day was an adventure. It started off with Steffeee getting home from college, then the entire group shipping out to the festival.

On the way there, Steffeee tried to give her sister a peck on the cheek. Apparently Amanda had a problem with it.

This is the Angry Sexist Car Directing Guy Man.
Guy Man: "Step back, Women driver coming up."
Steffeee Brima and Amanda: -Looks at each other- "Really? We Outnumber you"
Just look at that angry face.

Hello Pepper Festival. Meet the Adventure Group. Free Taste Stands her we come!

Haha what? What does that even mean? We decided to avoid this stand..

Om Nom Nom Roasted Corn dipped in Pepper Butter. After a few bites Steffeee decided it wasn't hot enough and covered it in Tabasco Sauce.

Silly Steffeee, what did you expect?

As Steffeee described it, the Tabasco Sauce and the Pepper Butter were having a fight in her mouth. This is Brima's depiction of it. Looks and sounds about right.

It was a muddy muddy day at the Pepper Festival, but that's okay. There was hotness had by all. Steffeee even went home with a jar of Hot Pickles. That Resulted in a Happy Steffeee.

Muffin Gifting!

The Story of The Muffin Day

Mm.... that batter sure looks... delicious?

I could ALWAYS go for some cinnamon and sugar mixture, yummeh

A nice refreshing beverage during our breaks, really helped the muffin baking go by faster

Finally all done! No more batter left. ta dah

Thats right Brima!! You can do it, the dishes won't conquer you! Anyone else think she's trying to do the I'm A Little Teapot Song?

Scrub Scrub Scrub. Brima: Eww it gets all slimey when it's wet.
Steffeee: That's what she said.

Brima: =/

Gosh they look tasty. om nom nom can i have some now.

Briam's Beautiful Arragement of Muffins. In the Basket she made. Brima's so crafty.

Artistic Shot!

Moe: =o

Joe: OMG Muffins

Joe: munch munch munch

Cory: I'm either dancing or flailing my arms in excitment. (We're not sure which.)

Joebear: =D muffins

Dustin: Why the hell are their muffins in that basket (Steffeee apparently can't take a clear picture. Lets just say she sneezed)

Dustin: Ooooo mmm geeee, these are tasty muffins.

Another blooper, lets just say Steffeee sneezed again. yea, that'll work..

Yes, we got a little lazy with this one, but there wasn't much else to say than Yummm muffins. Hope you enjoyed this and the last 2 posts, we just spent an hour and a half putting them up.

Whats this i hear about a Fair!?

What a Fair? I LOVE fairs. Especially ones with Funnel Cakes and Parks right next to it to hang out at. Like what the cool cats do. Its like a glowing beacon in the night, this is a picture of the fair taken from the park.

Unfortunately Steffeee and Brima and Joe forgot to get a picture of the funnel cake, but boy it was delicious. Joe ate most of it, why do we hang out with so many boys that eat all our food. Argh.

Say hi to Joebear, we were on the spining...wheel thing. Joe wasn't feeling so good, it wasn't his favorite ride. Even though it wasn't a ride, we were at the park. Yay free entertainment.

What in the world are you doing Steffeee? You look a little nervous and like your trying to claw open the side of the slide with your fingers. Whats that you say? Your stuck? That must be why Brima took a picture of this and laughed afterwards. It all maks sense now.

Uh oh, looks like Joe's stuck now. This time Steffeee got to laugh with Brima. Looks like he was having a harder time than Steffeee, Poor Silly Joebear.
Oh No!! Steffeee and Joebear turned into Aliens!

Yes, That is Yellow Paint in Steffeee's Hair. Just try and guess how many people have commented on it over the past 4 days, just try. I Double Dog Dare You.

What in the world is that a picture of? Why... i think its Steffeee's shoes INSIDE of Joe's shoes. So either Joe has large large feet. or Steffee has small small feet. Theories anyone?
Why do boys insist of taking pictures from this angle? Hey Joe, we can see up your nose!

Sewing Party and Thrifting

Sewing Party!! What are we some old ladies in their knitting circle chatting about how life used to be? Nah, we're Cool Cats who understand the value of knowing how to sew. What was the topic of sewing this time? A Bunny!! You must be thinking 'I wonder how adorable the bunny will be.' Well hold your horses, we'll get to that!

First however, we must look at the awesome Raspberry Cake Moe made for us and our Sewing Party.

Hi Moe! What that your -- ahhhhhh that poor cake what are you .. boy thats delicious cake, thanks for stabbing me off a piece.

Hey there Brima, what that you have there? Is it Lips? Or a Funny Mustache? Oh no, that just some beef jerky. Mmmm beef jerky lips/mustache. Tasty stuff.

Our fabric and button mess from our sewing party. Who ever said that girls were the neat ones? Can you spot what doesn't belong? I'll give you a hint, its a Dark Alien God with Tentacles and Wings and in the form of an adorable hugable plushie. That's right!! Its Cthulhu sitting n the polka dot fabric. Good find Reader.

Up next was Thrift Store Shopping!! Brima and Steffeee found a lot of interesting stuff, and ended up leaving with Winnie the Pooh Sheets and a Lion King Pillow Case and a Game. Now this isn't just any ol game, this is the Aussie Game. Its Called Kangaroos and Koala's, the Aussie Game of Ups and Downs. Its like Snakes and Ladders only more fun. That's right, thats exactly what it says on the front of the box.

Yarrr that's a pretty good find. Was there any other interesting booty that was happens upon while in that skally wag of a store?

Yarrr a pirate chest!! That sure is nifty. And yes, pirates do say nifty, especially the ones that knit and sew and go thrift shopping.
