Tuesday Things.
1. These dark chocolate key lime pie truffles. WHAT. Dying. I’m still in serious citrus lust.
2. Have you seen the first released Jem photo? GAH.
3. You probably shouldn’t spread your chocolate chip cookie with nutella for an afternoon snack. No. Definitely not.
4. If you need the biggest giggle ever, please read this article my friend Bev wrote. Doesn’t she need her own TV show?
5. This morning my phone autocorrected “whole chicken” on my grocery list to “white chicks.” I’m sure I can find a bunch of both at the grocery store but I mean…
6. Today I used my milk frother/steamer thing and made my OWN steamed coconut milk foam. From a can of light coconut milk because it was all I had because someone dropped an entire full can of full fat coconut milk on the kitchen floor first because… life. To die for. Now if I could only make my own tiramisu latte.
7. Walking Dead: ummm let’s talk about how hot Rick looked, it was like circa Love Actually again. You know the good is not going to last though. If anyone has read the graphic novels – are they following them now? GIRLS: I think this season just stinks. I feel like it isn’t nearly as relatable as the first and second seasons (embarrassingly) were. House of Cards: I think we are on episode 8? I’m sort of underwhelmed. It’s just kind of boring me this time around. And you know I love my white house/political shows! What are your thoughts? Like I am just so over Doug Stamper. Nashville: am I going to get what I want this week on the show? I think!
8. Have you heard the Sprint commercial with those unicorn shark things – the narwhals? It gets stuck in your head forever? Eddie has been singing it for two weeks. He sings it CONSTANTLY. I’m losing it. Max’s first word will probably be NARWHALS. Awesome.

Buhhh I hate that Sprint commercial and i can never get it out of my head! I feel your pain!
We binged House of Cards and the whole season is kind of boring. In comparison to the first two seasons, I was super disappointed with it.
And I’m sorry:

Ya, but how about the screaming Goat! Ha,ha,ha!
Same on House of Cards. Too much Stamper and I don’t think that they moved far enough in time. The last episode is good, though. Keep watching, but yes, underwhelmed.
House of Cards is SO boring. I’m at season 8 too and so far, womp womp. But I want that nutella right now! Mmm.
I finished HoC and also felt it was pretty boring, esp compared to s1&2. oh well.
I need to catch up on nashville. also the narwhal song is the BEST, mostly because i love narwhals, so i would be thrilled if max’s first word was narwhal! :)
OMG. I hate that Sprint commercial!!! Also, my phone tried to autocorrect ‘happy birthday’ yesterday to ‘happy girth day’. I wish I were kidding.
Now I just want that cookie with Nutella! I might have to leave work and go get one.

But have you listened to the whole song??? “Don’t let them touch your balls!” Once that’s in your head…you’re pretty much done.
Rick on the Walking Dead–yesssssssss! So glad to see him back to his handsome self. But with everything seeming so nice, I’m just waiting for the everything to turn into a disaster. I’m guessing next week?
As for the House of Cards, we’re only one episode in so far (I would totally just binge watch in one day if my husband wasn’t super into it too, so I have to wait), but…I’ve been over Doug Stamper since last season. So great, you mean I’m going to hate him even more? Ughhhhh
totally agree on HOC (except for some reason Brandon and I love Stamper) and omg… I &*$(#&*#( HATE that Sprint commercial.
Finally something I can comment on with confidence! They’ve actually been decently following the comics from the beginning on The Walking Dead, but it still deviates about as much as it always has. I feel that now that they’ve gotten to Alexandria, the show may follow the comics more precisely. There is some GREAT stuff coming around the bend. My sister and I are currently in a debate as to what will happen in the 90 minute finale. There is an incredibly iconic scene that happens in Issue #100, but for comparison, Aaron is introduced in Issue #67, and there’s WAY too much to stuff into the next month to get to that point, but also we can’t think of anything else that would warrant an extra long finale. Either way, it should be fantastic. #nerdalert
Seriously, I love that they use enough from the comics to keep us #supernerds happy, but at the same time it’s not exactly the same so I want to keep turning in week after week. I especially love what they are doing with Carol this season, and ESPECIALLY this last episode. She is scarily devious.
That nutella-covered-cookie photo is absolutely not fair play when I return home very hungry from a long shift, and I have neither nutella nor cookies!
Nutella…last night I smeared it on questionable strawberries I had in my fridge. Then when I couldn’t salvage anymore berries I was just eating it straight off of the knife. I can’t help myself! I wish I could make a DIY Tiramisu latte. Considering it is in liquid form at Starbucks I know it is all artificial, but I am not letting that stop me. With that in mind, I keep telling myself to get a couple pumps in an Americano for less calories. Ugh, I haven’t started S3 HOC and am behind on last week’s Nashville. I need to pull it together!
I can’t wait until you finish HOC and can comment about it in the next Tuesday Things.
Um, I’d be okay with you sharing a tiramisu latte on your blog! I live in Canada and Starbucks hasn’t introduced coconut milk, but I’m anxiously awaiting its arrival.
I bought the Breville milk cafė after you had mentioned it In a previous post somewhere, so I’d love your take on a coconuts milk latte!
i’m with you on house of cards, was a bit disappointed with the first episodes! i’m at 11 now, and around 8 i thought it got a bit more excited, but it’s nowhere near the first seasons!
xo, cheyenne
Love this blog, and everyone’s comments, but . . . Argggh! Please! Post spoiler alerts when commenting about upcoming TV shows. Please. There are plenty of us who haven’t read the novels or comics. The TV show is all we’ve seen, so we have no idea what is on the horizon. The Walking Dead–they’re doing an excellent job of keeping us on edge. Everyone knows the other shoe is going to drop–we just don’t know which shoe it is. Until now. Sheesh. :(
UGH THE NARWHALS!!!! My husband and I canNOT stop singing that song.
The Sprint commercial…my son’s school mascot is…a…NARWHAL. So they think it’s funny to play this song over and over again. And I had just gotten it out of my head yesterday and then I read your post. Thank you. It’s back in my head again.
Your friend Bev’s very funny list… all I can say is #5.
I work at bux… you can buy bottles of the syrup to make your own tiramisu lattes
Yes coconut foam! When I have leftover coconut whipped cream in my fridge I just put a massive spoonful on my coffee and it turns cappuccino-ish . So easy so good.
Hi there -we noticed in your recent blog that you mentioned a tiramisu latte and that you wanted to find a way to make them at home.
