Black Pysanky or Ukrainian Easter Eggs

2/28/2014

I do have a serious thing for Russian Easter eggs. Well I call them Russian Easter Eggs. I believe they are called Pysanky or Ukrainian Easter Eggs. I have a serious love for ephemeral art of all kinds. Mostly because I know that it would be very, VERY hard for me to make something that would last such a short time. And really I guess this isn't technically ephemeral art because you can preserve it unlike sand paintings, but still by the very nature of the egg they are painted upon they were meant to be temporary. So beautiful, and such a lovely way to celebrate Spring.

Stuffed Mushrooms from Heaven itself

I have to tell you these are seriously the best stuffed mushrooms I have ever had. So Last week my sisters decide to have a little party for my Mom. So she gets all the family together, and we are all trying to figure out what to bring, which is never easy to organize. Finally, I get my sister just to tell me what to bring. And out of no where she says stuffed mushroom. Something I have never made before, and she says oh their easy just so this, this, and this. Ok I don't trust her "this, this , and this" So what do I do. What does any rational woman do in this day and age when they need a recipe? That's right I hit the boards on pinterest. I found a recipe that I sort of liked, but as per usual I used that recipe as a skeleton and built upon it. Here is a link to the original recipe, which was very good, but I need a little bit more. And that more is in a recipe below. I did end up putting a little to much cayenne pepper in them, but actually it made them taste better. I walked in the door with a hot plate of these mushrooms and by the time I got to the kitchen they were gone. Seriously, they were so good I think I might have to make them again thie weekend just for me and my man.

Heaven sent Stuffed Mushrooms
20 whole fresh mushrooms
olive oil
3 cloves garlic
1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
1⁄4 cup shredded Italian cheese mix (parmesan, romano etc)
1⁄4 tsp ground black pepper
1⁄4 tsp onion powder
1⁄4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
Italian bread crumbs

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break off stems. Chop stems extremely fine, discarding tough end of stems.
  2. In a bowl mix bread crumbs, mushroom steams, and a drizzle of olive oil. Give it a couple of twists of sea salt, and mix thoughly.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and let oil infuse with the garlic for a minute or so. Add chopped mushroom mixture to the skillet. Fry until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn garlic. Set aside to cool.
  4. When garlic and mushroom mixture is no longer hot, stir in cream cheese, Parmesan mixture cheese, black pepper, onion powder and cayenne pepper. Mixture should be very thick. Using a little spoon, fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange the mushroom caps on prepared cookie sheet.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven or until the mushrooms are piping hot and liquid starts to form under caps.

OoOooOOOoo pretty ink storage unit!

Such a pretty organized ink storage unit!!!! I love it so much!!! But I think I'm going ot have to just bite the bullet and get a couple of things from
Stamp n' Storage namely the lock down punch holder and the ink pad holder. I've been trying to make do with holders that I can get from the dollar store or ones that I can make. But my system is getting in the way of my creating. The holders are a little bit pricy, but not so much that they are out of the question, and if it helps me to be more organized so I am more creative then they are really worth it.

Cute little lacy shorts from pinterest for summer

This is an EXTREMELY cute idea, and I just might have to do something like it for summer... in black of course though.  All girls need some form of lacy under thing. Some need more lace than others. I have to admit I am not a totally lacy girl, but these make me want to be one.

Quest for a Succulent Micro Garden

Ok this year I'm going to do it! I'm going to start my little succulent micro garden. I have loved these beautiful little things for YEARS and YEARS. I keep shopping for them, and I always find something wrong with the one I pick out right before I'm about to buy it. It's probably because I'm not entirely sure how to take care of them. But whatever fears I have about maintaining them I'm sure pinterest would be able to answer all my questions. So this is the year people!!!

Just finished up a birthday card for my sister. She has a thing for bats so this little guy is flying in to wish her well. I just love the little happy birthday banner he carries in his mouth. He looks very determined to deliver his message. Leaving a cloud of gold sequins in his wake.

Hello Kitty Healing band aids

One of the best things about living with my boyfriend is that he is able to mend my wounds when my exacto knife slips. But more importantly that he already knows the Hello Kitty face on the band aid must be centered and placed faced looking up at me in order for me to heal properly.
