Tuesday Things.
1. Definitely thought my world had imploded over the weekend when I put in my contacts… only to realize I had not taken the previous pair of contacts out of my eyes. It took me over five minutes to figure out what was happening.
2. How totally awesome is this caramel corn and rice krispie treat mix?! SO making it.
3. Our area is involved in the weirdo weather with it being, like, 70 degrees in December and I’m trying not to meltdown because this is the ONLY month that I really love snow and cold. I don’t want it after January 1st. You know this means it’s going to snow until April.
4. We had the most massive gingerbread house fail on Thursday night. We used the same kit we’ve used in the past (no I could never bake my own, ever ever) and it was a disaster with a capital D. Threw it out after ten minutes. That’s never happened before.
5. How not to miss your life. Love this.
6. Um, first up, and most importantly, we must discuss the fabulousness that is Joshua Jackson and his very Pacey Witter-esque behavior on The Affair on Sunday. I love to love him! And are they turning me against Allison now? Because it kinda feels like it. Also, I want more Helen. And Homeland! HOW are they going to wrap this up next week? It’s way too much. I would like to get to a point though where it’s not always a complete shock that Carrie is right about something and no one else believes her.
7. So we have a jacuzzi-like bathtub with jets. And let me just say that I’ve NEVER been a bath person, but I’ve been slightly converted over the last year – it is seriously relaxing. BUT. My major issue is that I’m scared to death that something is going to come out of the jets when I’m sitting in the tub. What exactly? I’ll give you a list that is not limited to these things: spiders, snakes, ants, mice (?), leeches, eels, spiders, wasps, birds and spiders. And sneak up on me in the bath. Tell me: is this a possibility?
8. I always always want to know more about Leo.
9. P.S. if you are local and need a Christmas give for a foodie lover, I’m teaching a meal prep class in early January.
10. P.P.S. giving away FIVE copies of Seriously Delish over on instagram! Get it get it.

Come to Chicago and teach some classes!!! I would love love love to go to some, as I’m sure many people in the area would be.
I SO AGREE OMG
i’ll see what i can do!
So I live in CT and last night my boyfriend and I turned on the air conditioning – IN DECEMBER. WHAT is happening??! I’m with you on the snow; I hate it, and I know it’s going to last foreverrrr this winter. Warm Christmas is weird.
And have you ever tried to take your contacts out only to discover that you don’t have them in? Yeah… I’ve done that. It’s kind of terrifying to grab at your eye and wonder where the hell the lens is. So. You’re not alone.
don’t EVER throw away your gingerbread house disaster again! we had a kit one year that came with broken pieces and icing that wouldn’t harden. we decided after struggling with it that it just wasn’t going to work out like we hoped, so we chose to turn it into the WORST gingerbread house in the world! we added ridiculous items from the pantry, took pics, and it’s the only one we all remember :)
I am so with you on the Affair. Who do I like (Pacey, obvs)? Who do I hate? (Noah, clearly, but who else?!?!) Alison is a disaster. Girlfriend is making some REAL bad choices. Not like Noah’s such a prize, but still. I have been re-watching all the episodes because I need to be sure I haven’t missed anything, which really hammers home the Noah disgust.
Oh God, oh God, I came to see/not see the possibilities to #7. OBVIOUSLY IT CAN’T HAPPEN, YES? PEOPLE LOVE TO TELL ME BAD NEWS ON THE INTERNETS!
Speaking of Gingerbread house fails – guess what doesn’t work in humidity? Royal icing, and also gingerbread. Juuuuuuuust fyi. Queensland summer is….hot.
I have the same fear about creatures in my toilet as you do with the jets. I would suggest not googling it. The list of things that can end up coming through the toilet is horrifying. I am not sure but I think the jets are safe. I would worry more about things crawling out of the drain.
I don’t think I helped comfort you but at least you know you aren’t alone in your fear?
#1 has definitely happened to me. lol. Aw, sorry about the gingerbread house fail. I haven’t made one in forever.
I’m definitely not a bath person either! We just moved into a new house with a jetted tub and I have (yet) to clean it and am a little creeped out by it :{
Wellllll, there was that one time my sister’s pet snake escaped, got into the plumbing and decided to come out of hiding while I was taking a bath… I won’t go into detail, but let’s just say I’ve never moved faster in my damn life!
OH. MY. GOD………I would have died. Literally died, right then and there! That is crazy!
I’ve been looking for a recipe for a birthday cake like the one in your picture. Moist cake and not a super sugary frosting. Can you link or give me the name so I can look it up? Thanks and Happy 1st birthday to your big boy.
I’ve done that with my contacts before. So weird!

Our weather here is crazy too! Here I am buried in Christmas cookies and it’s nearly 60 degrees! I’m in CT, hoping for just a flurry for the holidays ?
Sorry to say that the bath jets thing has happened to me. I was house sitting for a friend’s parents and got all excited about taking a fancy bath.. turns out they basically NEVER DID and POOF a ton of assorted bug guts came streaming into the tub once I filled it and turned them on. But i think if you run them regularly, you reduce that risk to almost nothing? GAH I hate even thinking about it.
Just bought a new house with a Jacuzzi tub….now I am terrified to try it out…ahhhhh!!!
I just want to say how much I love Tuesday things, not even sure why. It’s just a really cool read and brightens my day so thanks! Also I want to see photos of the Gingerbread house fail – LOL think that would be better than it actually working out.
Totally believe #7, in fact I’m always checking the drain in the shower, kitchen sink and toilets to make sure no bugs are crawling out of it, specially roaches that are known as water bugs and can do it as explained to me by a fumigator once and I didn’t believe him until I saw a roach coming out of the kitchen sink drain and I almost die, so beware of your surroundings. Talking about animals, 3x it has happened to me that I have opened the door and a little lizard has come into the house, I remembered the other day u mentioned that a bird flew into ur house, sympathize with u. #1 hasn’t happened to me, but I have put the right on the left and vice versa and it has taken me like 5 minutes or so to realize it and also it has happened what Alyssa mentioned of trying to take them out, only to realize I already did.
