Bristol and Levi are engaged!!!

I have the most fantastic news, folks!!

Levi and Bristol are engaged! Just when you thought you'd never hear about these darling sweethearts again, up they pop in the news once more! Phew! I was really getting tired of holding my breath and looking for old boyfriends on Facebook!

NOW WE HAVE A PARTY TO PLAN!!!

It's always good to have something to occupy your time with and I can't think of a better thing to occupy my time than to plan a party!! I am smack-on certain that Bristol and Levi are gonna need some Tupperware to set up housekeeping with!

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN CREATE A BRIDAL REGISTRY WITH TUPPERWARE???

Oh, yes you can! I think I'll give Bristol a call and tell her all about the joys of Tupperware and how it can make her life easier. You know, being such a young mom I wonder if she knows about how safe Tupperware is for her little guy, or how much time she can save by being organized with Modular Mates?

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN HAVE A PARTY FOR A FRIEND WHO IS GETTING MARRIED AND GIVE THEM ALL THE HOSTESS CREDIT FROM YOUR PARTY SO THEY CAN CHOOSE THE THINGS THEY WOULD USE THE MOST?!

I'm curious what Bristol would choose....hmmm....I think she'd certainly go for a Shape-O Toy, which is an excellent toy for teaching shapes, but did you also know that the Shape-O Toy prepares little ones for writing by developing fine motor skills?

I'd be surprised if Bristol didn't go for some Freezer Mates and a Quick Chef. Young moms these days know that it is both economical and healthier to make your own baby food and quick freeze what you don't immediately use. The Quick Chef makes quick work of pureeing steamed veggies or fresh fruits into wonderful baby foods!!

The last bit of Tupperware goodness I think Bristol and Levi need are Vent N Serve containers. Levi's going to be a responsible dad, get a job and buy them diapers, but that costs big bucks, so he's going to need to take his lunches to work in Vent N Serve to save precious pennies.

So, Bristol, Honey, take note. Levi, let's party (with plastic, Sweetie!) You can have a mind-blowing TupperFest and get all the goodies you need for FREE!! Bristol, ask Mom to take some Tupperware catalogs to her next book signing!!! OH YES!!

Seriously, good luck, best wishes and have fun with your little one. And remember, life is too short to buy crappy plastic--get Tupperware. It's built to last!!

Fresh Cranberry Orange Scones

I have a few westerns that I'll watch, but on the whole, this is not my favorite film genre. I will watch "The Cowboys" even with commercials. I simply adore Roscoe Lee Browne as the cook! If you've ever seen this movie you know the premise, John Wayne, a rancher down on his luck for hands, hires all the local school boys and takes them on a drive. Roscoe Lee Browne is the cook and the "cowboys" are fascinated by his appearance, his voice, his stories, but mainly his cooking. One night the boys steal a bottle from the chuck wagon and proceed to get silly on it. They start talking about Jebediah Nightlinger, the cook. "That son of a b!*ch cooks better than my mother!", one of the saucy twirps utters. I love that line and have made it my own, because I cook better than my mother. Don't gasp at the truth, just embrace it. Most of us do cook better than our mothers. My mom did excel at holidays just in mere spectacle of presentation, but the woman completely cooked her turkeys to death. Thank God for her gravy because without it we would choke on holiday bird. The table settings were great, so if presentation is everything, my mom was the belle of the ball.

How does Tupperware work into it and where's the new recipe?

I made THE BEST scones ever this morning. Fresh Cranberry Orange Scones. After I glazed them we stood in the kitchen, speechlessly rolling our eyes and chomping away on their fresh-baked goodness.

I used the Saucy Silicone Spatula, my Thatsa Bowl (great high sides and wonderfully deep -- which you'll need because I tripled the recipe!!), and always my Modular Mates. Modular Mates keep my pantry organized and my staples fresh and ready to use when the Julia Child muse strikes.

FRESH CRANBERRY ORANGE SCONES

3 cups AP flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

3 tablespoons sugar

3/4 cup butter, chilled, cut into small pieces

3/4 cup fresh cranberries, coarsley chopped

1 cup plus four tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice

3 teaspoons orange zest

4 tablespoons powdered sugar

Combine dry ingredients in Thatsa Bowl. With your fingers, combine the butter into the dry ingredients until you have a coarse mixture. You want some butter pieces in the dough, it will make all the difference in scone texture. Add the orange juices, cranberries and zest and combine till moist, being careful not to over mix.

Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees. Drop scones on cookie sheet. This should make 12 good sized scones. Use parchment if you have it. If you have good cookie sheets this shouldn't be an issue. Bake for 16-18 minutes. Makes 12.

While the scones bake, use the remaining orange juice and equal part powdered sugar to make a glaze. Cook in saucepan (Why, yes, I did use my Tupperware Chef Series saucepan to cook my glaze!) till bubbly, then set aside. Place baked scones on cookie cooling rack over another baking sheet and immediately coat with glaze.

Invite family into kitchen while scones are still warm to burn incense at your feet.

I'll bet Jebediah wishes he had some Thatsa Bowls!!
