Cute, Cussing Cocktails

Sometimes you need something that makes you go "*squee!*Daaawwwwww!"
Some times you need a comical pick-me-up.
Sometimes you need a drink.
Maybe all three? Got you covered.

Today's Link Love features websites that don't really need boosting. This is more for me and helping me deal and get myself out of my head. The sites are already popular and have followers like whoa.

You're welcome. Every time. EVERY TIME I think of Keanu, I think of Bill and Ted and WHOA.

Extremely Qte Stuff!

• The first one is Cute Overload featuring terribly adorable animals being their natural, adorable selves. Sometimes I need to see squee-worthy animals and to gigglesnork at their antics. My students brought me animals pretty much daily and they'd get to hear my lovey-baby voice when I was talking to the non-humans. The kids loved it. I love animals. That's all there is to that. 

Seriously, how can a smiling puppy NOT cheer anyone up?!

Cuss Away, Sailor!

• One of my friends Tweeted the link to a hilarious Tumblr - Thug Kitchen - a while ago. Then my husband found it again today. To my surprise, he thought it was funny. Beautiful pictures of beautiful food ... covered in profanity. Plus a the recipe and an additional helping of colorful language. Majority of the recipes are vegan.

Stick a Pin in it!

• I'm not going to deny it. I've even said it before. Pinterest and I... we go waaaay back, my friend. We all know and have read my posts about finding recipe pins and cooking them up. I am a PinWin. Get ready for Pinception! Are you ready? Ready?? Are you sure? Here it comes!!
• Pinterest Fail - Because people just can't figure out that some of the junk they see (especially foods and recipes) are done by professionals and foods are done by food artists. Some photos are also "doctored." No, women aren't the only objects of photoshopping
• Here's a story. My girl friend wanted to do the Fishbowl drink for her birthday. She saw the PinFail and asked me what I would do to avoid the mishap.
1. Premix the drink - with the exact ingredients.
2. Nerds ahoy!
3. The following in quick succession: Ice into the cups; Swedish Fish between the glass and ice; Pour the premix. 
4. Straw and garnish
5. Enjoy drink.
• Instead of a giant, shared fishbowl, girl friend purchased stemless wineglasses.
• Result?

Why, yes, I am amazing! Image credit: mine. Be jealous!

And that, my friends, is some Link Love! Enjoy your day!
