Mix all ingredients except cheese and lettuce in food processor.<br />Blend thoroughly.<br />2. Place mixture in bowl and gently add the crumbled cheese. Cover and<br />chill well.<br />3. Serve on Bibb lettuce with an extra sprinkle of cheese on top. <br /><br />i used butter lettuce and tossed in some chicken. i feel that the amount of sugar can easily be reduced without a noticeable difference in flavor, and i added more salt, pepper and garlic to suit my tastes. it makes quite a bit, and i will definitely be making this again.<br /><br />so it is with little fanfare that i present a crappy cameraphone photo of something that is really quite delicious. <br /><br /><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn9nhBnNlr0CWYEuO7KqyfrwtwdJ7SdYV6NzH-JSh4nfTNomsURJEMsEuYEoaxjHZwIR5cmJck7mH6DmX2g6KHwICrNXFCYQMG5cWr819BohG0mR7-yrHePVO0i4_IEULVupJ5/s1600/=%3Futf-8%3FB%3FSU1HMDAzMzEtMjAxMDA4MTAtMTgyNS5qcGc=%3F=-755797"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn9nhBnNlr0CWYEuO7KqyfrwtwdJ7SdYV6NzH-JSh4nfTNomsURJEMsEuYEoaxjHZwIR5cmJck7mH6DmX2g6KHwICrNXFCYQMG5cWr819BohG0mR7-yrHePVO0i4_IEULVupJ5/s320/=%3Futf-8%3FB%3FSU1HMDAzMzEtMjAxMDA4MTAtMTgyNS5qcGc=%3F=-755797" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503960453829718146" /></a></p>ThatBeeGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13462548437869526278noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326125.post-27063734318940514522010-08-06T10:33:00.001-07:002010-08-06T10:48:40.122-07:00one candle wishmy birthday is next week, and <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/index.jsp">anthropologie</a> got me to celebratin' a little early with this great gift in the mail.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUyq7bIiDc_gX4oO7Un7fXTg67C17cgjdyY4WCZ27A-zFT_2UCIbB5SR1-YdXySE8oZUzIJcMGmRAC5T4vD5AcFvsUShK4eJPcgZlerFmdk7TBwFruAxxwIoTYjxByX8XNHa9K/s1600/img_07351.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUyq7bIiDc_gX4oO7Un7fXTg67C17cgjdyY4WCZ27A-zFT_2UCIbB5SR1-YdXySE8oZUzIJcMGmRAC5T4vD5AcFvsUShK4eJPcgZlerFmdk7TBwFruAxxwIoTYjxByX8XNHa9K/s320/img_07351.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502351804650631266" /></a><br><center>a birthday candle necklace -- very creative, and super adorable</center><br /><br />the candle appears to be made of a lightweight resin, and i'm pleased to report it arrived intact, unlike those received by other recipients.<br /><br />i signed up for their store's loyalty card early in the year, thus putting myself on their mailing list to receive such goodies.<br /><br />additionally, the card on which the necklace arrived is good for 15% off in-store, certainly a dangerous thought.<br /><br />(the image above is from another blogger, i couldn't be bothered to photograph it before ripping it open and putting it on.)ThatBeeGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13462548437869526278noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326125.post-58163564036757022322010-07-27T12:59:00.000-07:002010-07-27T13:00:18.127-07:00sterling cooper draper pryce<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrDXrEwnDdipimpq4NRp99sq67Dt4ZCCcOqUm90K2CcewmbvMFw8c6FKmzF4on4HJroQPNBz6J1aoJ0qlpJncLq3qCDnyjYfNuhaIhv8PO2slv2aNkRTK8BbSKeraKsfza6Be_/s1600/jon+hamm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrDXrEwnDdipimpq4NRp99sq67Dt4ZCCcOqUm90K2CcewmbvMFw8c6FKmzF4on4HJroQPNBz6J1aoJ0qlpJncLq3qCDnyjYfNuhaIhv8PO2slv2aNkRTK8BbSKeraKsfza6Be_/s320/jon+hamm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498678221001956994" /></a><br /><br />i think i'm in love.ThatBeeGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13462548437869526278noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326125.post-32499136046186103412010-07-07T08:53:00.000-07:002010-07-07T09:10:49.859-07:00muzaki get on these music buying and listening jags. here's what's new:<br /><br />i got the latest release from the new pornographers. at first listen, it sounds a lot like their last album. but i like it nonetheless!<br /><br />my guilty music pleasure for a few weeks was cranking up katy perry's "california gurls" when it came on the radio. but now that it's been overplayed, i'm sick of it.<br /><br />i got the first few songs from drake's latest album when they were leaked. now that i have the whole album, it's...okay. i think i like him best as a guest on other people's work. but he is nice to look at!<br /><br />i got two new releases from arcade fire. sweet stuff! i like the sounds of "the suburbs."<br /><br />it's trendy to hate on vampire weekend, but (without sounding like a snob) i've been digging them for a few years.

I went to the practice round of the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach yesterday, and I wore shoes that I'd only worn once before. So of course they weren't broken in, but they sure looked super cute! By about an hour in, I wanted to cry, the blisters on my heels were so painful. I tried to put on a brave face, but of course my dad saw through that and insisted on going to the first-aid station for Band-Aids. That helped, and so did the beer at 10:30a.<br /><br />On the plus side, photography is only allowed at the practice rounds, so I got to really put one of my new lenses to the test.<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4066/4710010053_3145444c41.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4710665870_c43ab437e7.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4033/4710020825_87417b0e9c.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4017/4710639332_719af4051a.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="KJ Choi" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1298/4710010369_da6e624b1b.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="" /><br /><br /><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4070/4710021253_07ef2a922e.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="" /><br /><br /></center>ThatBeeGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13462548437869526278noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326125.post-65151139455667963782010-05-31T20:15:00.000-07:002010-05-31T20:21:20.626-07:00media update: maythis, of course, is more for my own remembrance than anything else. asterisks denote something i particularly enjoyed. follow this advice at your own risk.<br /><br /><br /><u>MOVIES</u>:<br />Radio Bikini<br />Before the Devil Knows You're Dead<br />Gigantic<br />Old Joy<br />Fletch (r)<br />Three Days of the Condor<br />The Last Word<br />Phoebe in Wonderland<br />Zodiac<br />Diminished Capacity<br />Bugsy<br />Moon<br />Sex and the City 2<br />Religulous<br />Frozen River<br /><br /><br /><u>BOOKS</u>:<br />Anita Shreve, "Testimony"<br />Amy Bloom, "Where the God of Love Hangs Out"<br />Lisa Kogan, "Someone Will Be With You Shortly"<br /><br /><br /><u>MUSIC</u>:<br />The New Pornographers, "Together" *<br />Drake, "Thank Me Later" (selected leaked tracks)<br />Arcade Fire (selected leaked tracks)ThatBeeGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13462548437869526278noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326125.post-83344852380244077472010-05-19T21:16:00.000-07:002010-05-19T21:20:13.317-07:00digital nationi'm just coming down off of a bit of a freak-out where tears were involved. what's got me all anxious? work, for one. and, well, me. i haven't felt like myself lately. maybe it's because i haven't been taking care of myself, the cold i'm trying to get over being a prime example of this. i'm working long hours, and still have lots of work to do even when i go home at a reasonable hour. i've always been a worrier, and when things are out of my control, my worrying escalates. i'm feeling better now.<br /><br />other things:<br />i bought myself flowers today, a huge orchid stem with 10 or so blossoms. it looks so tropical in the tall clear cylindrical vase, and almost artificial. i gasped when i went to pay for the stupid thing. apparently orchids are not in season.<br /><br />i have a crush on dr. house.<br /><br />sometimes i worry that i leave unintentionally trite comments for other bloggers.<br /><br />might be going to new orleans for business next month. told the ol' boss-dad that it's not cool to dangle travel of any kind in front of me, then quickly take it away after realizing dates conflict or whatever. i likened it to telling my sister's dog that he's going for a walk, then not taking him.<br /><br />going to see the giants play in oakland this weekend. maybe they can stop their away-game skid.<br /><br />gotta take the boss-dad to the airport early early tomorrow morning, he's off to maui. it's like a rotation, i was there, then my sister + hovito got back yesterday, then my dad goes tomorrow. mom's not going this round, and it's a shame we rarely vacation as a family.<br /><br />my new couch, the one that was delivered, like, 2 months ago? the cushions are sagging. yes, i have a fat ass, but really. i keep meaning to call macy's and have them do something about it.<br /><br />saturday as i was leaving my house to go babysit for sophie, i smelled something burning. turns out it was a nightlight in the hallway entering my bedroom (you enter my bedroom, the bathroom is immediately to the right, then you go down a short hallway before actually getting to the bedroom part). yes, i'm 30 and still have a hallway/nightlight. anyway, it came with the place and isn't too gaudy, so i left it. so it looked like it had burned out, but it was extremely hot to the touch and the plastic was a bit melted. i just figured its useful life had been exhausted. so i plugged another nightlight into it, only to have the same result two days later. erm. i'm glad i haven't burned down the whole building, and i must get that looked at asap. in the meantime, i hope the monsters don't come out at night, because my room is tomb-dark without a light there.ThatBeeGirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13462548437869526278noreply@blogger.com1
