The Toxic Housewife

olive and cream cheese penguins (with a cheese ball igloo, of course) OK, if you thought I was bad, may I just point out that I've never had any desire to make the above concoction for a party.  Can you imagine how long I would be in the kitchen, obsessively cutting olives in half and stuffing them with cream cheese, in order to have enough penguins for 50 people to have a bite?  No thank you! But, in case you want the recipe, I found one here .

"Pooping" reindeer: more classy crap I'm SO THANKFUL friends gave Mr. C OK, I'll admit it: I was a little disgusted this year when my local "lite music" radio station started their annual "holiday songs 24/7" tradition . . . on November 1.  I mean, I like Christmas music just as much as the next guy (assuming the next guy isn't "Bah Humbug" Bee), but this seemed like a little bit of an overkill to me.

Last week was my birthday. Thank you. Here is how I celebrated:

Sometimes I just don’t know what Hollywood is thinking. The other day we borrowed “Two Brothers” from the library. It as directed by the same guy who did “The Bear”, using live tigers and creating a storyline for them to act out. I’m assuming it is supposed to be a kid’s movie, as evidenced by the fact that the two adorable baby tigers pictured on the front cover amidst an unnaturally green jungle were not being shot at by a heroic-looking male while a scantily-clad woman knelt at his feet.
