well, that's pinteresting...

The title of this blog post is deceiving. There was no pinterest this weekend... which is very disturbing to me, and I will have to talk to my friends about why this happened. 

The fact of the matter is, my wonderful family came up this weekend, and I spent a delightful Saturday morning/afternoon with them, and was not available to plan pinterest. (I'm sure someone else could have planned it, right?? just sayin... :) ) 

Anyway, my family lead by my wonderful father who just happens to be one of the biggest Aggie's I've ever met. He LOVES Utah State. So when they came up this weekend for my little brother's football game, and the homecoming game at my super cool university, my dad decided to plan a little tailgate party. 

And oh, did we tailgate.

All afternoon, even.

And the food and company were perfect.

So basically it was a fantastic day.

Except for the homecoming football game, which we shall not speak of at this moment. Too painful.

However, the company was superb.

And my date to the dance afterward wasn't half bad either.

So the main point of this post is, pinterest will still happen every Saturday from now on.

That's all.

p.s. life is beautiful. it's a great movie AND a true statement.

Hello there! I hope you all had fantastic weekends! I sure did.

And now it's that time of week.

Monday.

Time for a pinterest post.

But first off, Kjarinda and I sometimes like to have pinterest days all by ourselves. 

Take a gander at these lovelies!

guess which ones are mine? Ok, I'll just tell you. The ones on the right.

Were they delicious? Why yes. Yes they were.

Kjarinda and I also decided to expand our pinterest horizons and tried out this awesome idea!

Isn't that awesome? It's super easy, too.

All you have to do is paint your nails like normal and wait until the paint is dry.

Then dip your fingers in rubbing alcohol, and while wet, press newspaper onto them! The ink comes right off. It's cool.

But finally, for our real pinterest day... we made these babies.

bet you can't guess which one is our picture... go ahead. guess.

So basically, pinterest was a huge success this past week. 

Check out the recipes here:

Pretzels

Strawberries

And don't worry. We made the shopping trip special too.

no, we're not THOSE annoying people. Kj really needed it. ha ha.

And hello, we totally ended on this note.

Can you say DREAM COME TRUE?!

But seriously guys, BEST 3D MOVIE EVER.

uhh... so anyway, now that I've bored you with my weekend antics, how was your weekend?

p.s. the best thing in the world is waking up to no alarm, and realizing you slept through class. because your alarm was set for PM. 

a monday pinterest post

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a FANTASTIC weekend, because I know I sure did! Remember that time I told you that USU would kill Weber state? If not, look at the post below this. I surely said it. AND I was surely right! My love for Utah State - despite the bad reputation of our football team -  is going to be vindicated, I can just feel it. Look out everyone, here we come!

friends at the game. too cool for school... actually, not true. we love school.

Oh, all right, enough about football... you want to know what fantastic food we rangers of the Pinterest Group made this last Saturday? Well, prepare to be amazed. 

You may recall this post. Where I admitted that yes, I do happen to be obsessed with panini's. Well... you got it! I convinced the rangers that this was something they should also be obsessed with. All right... it didn't take much convincing. The panini's speak for themselves. Want to take a look?

This isn't the picture of what we made, it was just a picture of a panini that I found. We kind of made our own panini recipe this time... but here's what they look like! 

Sorry about the picture... we made them after the game, so it was dark, and the lighting wasn't the best... but they turned out absolutely delicious!

What you need:

Sourdough bread

Pesto

Turkey

Avocado

Pepperjack cheese

Optional tomatoes on the side (not optional for me! I <3 tomatoes.)

p.s. maybe yesterday i got talked into getting twitter? i did not see that one coming. follow me! @shor_t_rose. (that's what you do, right? the @ symbol? Ha. I'll get there.) yeah, that's my gangsta name, jealous?

with my freeze ray i will STOP the world

On Saturday morning, I found myself with quite a few of my good friends, watching the Utah State vs. Auburn football game. It was a heartbreaker. I almost cried when it looked like we had won it, no questions asked. And then sat numbly as I watched Auburn have miracle after miracle, and win in the last three minutes.

Needless to say, our little group was the picture of devastation.

However... the truth of the matter is, half of the group was preoccupied with this awesome little thing called Pinterest for nearly half the game...

Yes, I have become one of THOSE people.

Kjarinda, Jaron and I could hardly tear our eyes away from the "Food and Drink" section. So many delicious things! Is it lunch time yet?

And then we had an idea.

Why don't we make the things we see on Pinterest?

Why don't we do it every week?

Why don't we have a Pinterest Party every Saturday?

So, with our spirits considerably brightened (only the three of us. Matt and Braden were still crying a little bit.) we headed to the grocery store to grab ingredients.

We traveled to Kjarinda's to make these delectable cookies, found on Pinterest of course. They were lovely chocolate chip cookies, with OREO'S ON THE INSIDE. And we threw in some chocolate chip cookies with marshmallows inside for good measure.

And after making a huge mess, we had the final project.

this is what pinterest showed us.

this is what we made. the oreo ones.

Basically, they were delicious. 

However... who knew that if you put real marshmallows in cookies, the marshmallows disappear? I guess it's important to read recipes sometimes... just in case.

And the moral of the story is, we are now an exclusive club. We even signed a contract.

Want to join? We'll hold a council and decide if you're worthy. 

But for now, the five of us are the Power Rangers.

p.s. Pinterest Day posts will become a once a week thing. Get excited.
