Brain Dump Mondays: Easy BBQ Meal

Filed under: Health/Diet/Recipes — girlrobot @ 8:55 am

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Last week I made dinner for some of my friends. Since I work pretty late, it’s hard to throw a dinner party on a weeknight but with these easy peasy recipes, I managed to do it pretty easily!

Easy Crockpot Ribs - Place sliced onions on the bottom of your crockpot. Slice ribs into serving pieces and place into crockpot. Pour 1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce all over the ribs. Turn on low and cook for 10 hours.

Baked BBQ Chicken from Allrecipes

Creamed Spinach from Allrecipes - I also added some diced onions and fresh chopped garlic to this recipe. BTW, this recipe was such a hit! Everybody really liked it and it was SO easy!

Corn - I just like to warm up a can of corn with butter on the stovetop. Everybody loves corn!

So there ya go. If you buy the ribs and chicken on sale, this meal is actually very cheap too with the amount of people you are able to feed! Yum!

Muxtape - Online Mixtape

Filed under: Cool Links — girlrobot @ 8:42 am

Ooooh I love this new website I found, Muxtape. I made a mixtape for myself and one for boyrobot. It’s cool because you can listen to it whenever you want and anywhere you want!



I used to make mix CDs but then I got lazy. This is the next best thing!

Make your own here or listen to mine :)

Brain Dump Mondays: Recovering From Vegas

Filed under: Fun — girlrobot @ 12:28 pm

This past weekend I went to a bachelorette party in Las Vegas for an old high school friend. Gosh, it was SO great meeting up with old friends!!! I forgot how silly and great they all are. I have no pics to show since I didn’t take my camera but I figured everybody else would and I would get my pics from them. Until then….the highlights in words:

- Partying it up with KFed at Pure! haha, ok…we didn’t actually party with him but he happened to be having his birthday party at Pure while we were there. Pics to come….

- Learning about The Dolphin and other terms

- Getting my eyebrows threaded for the first time! Painful!

- Eating the buffet at Planet Hollywood….the lambchops and raw oysters were so good!

- Shopping!

- Catching up on all of the old hs gossip

- Reminiscing about our hs days and our awesome lunch time adventures!

- Staying at a suite in The Venetian which was probably the best hotel I’ve stayed at in Vegas

- Making new friends!!

Man, I came back from Vegas and just slept for over 12 hours straight. I was SO tired. And now I’m at work and just as tired. Ughghg, I wanna go home!

A Place Between Us - use this to find a meeting point that’s between two locations. Great for meeting up with ppl! And you can even narrow down type of location (coffee, chinese food, etc).
Life clock - this is kind of morbid to have hanging on your wall
DMX has no idea who Barack Obama is
List of tea tips - good to know if you are a tea drinker like me!
Lexisum - lets you print Wikipedia pages in a variety of sizes. Perfect for notes!

Free Fax

Sorry, I’m running short on time to blog for tomorrow but I thought I would share this nifty site I found with you guys. If you’ve ever needed to fax something, you know it’s quite a hassle for people who don’t have their own fax machine. This website Free Fax, lets you send documents for free! The only catch is that they print an ad on the cover sheet. Not really a big deal to me.

If you need to send a more professional fax, you can pay $1.99 to send one without an ad. Beats driving to Kinkos any day!
