Tues Tips & Trends

by

Subtitle: The one tip and then random shit stuff MizFit loves version.

First, because we are supposed to be all about fitness and healthy living up in herre, I give you something I just learned (have ya’ll known this for years? not me): when you make an ok-sign with your hand the inside space between your thumb and forefinger is about a tablespoon.

how cool is that?!

(and, yes, I began to ponder things such as “how big is the space between Amy Roloff’s thumb and forefinger?” Or “Would Magic Johnson possess a two tablespoon ok-sign?” Im easily distracted that way.)

Definitely quite a handy tip with regards to portion control at places such as salad bars.

now for the entirely random and semi-immature portion of our meeting:
I truly can not believe the words PAMPERED CHEF and MizFit WANTS are coming in the same sentence, but I give you this.

Oh the concoctions I believe I could create given the capacity to seal it all up ala the delectable, I mean, HORRIBLE for you Smuckers Crustables.

You know you want one now, too. Admit it.

Lest you hath become at all confused and think that the MizFit is a grown woman she also wants this.

Merely, only and solely because it’s called a giant stud.

I keep searching my domicile for this (even though they spelled my name wrong. no matter) but cant find it! If I *do* you simply must come over and check it out.

And lastly, one which has been around for a bit but never gets old, the booty popper.

Put away your BOSU, toss your elliptical machine and squat no more. The answer to yer booty conundrum is in a pair of panties.

Please to enjoy.

  1. Even though I already have more than enough ‘pop’ in my booty, but with a name like “booty pop panties” I’m also sold!

    I like the serious bit of your post – that tablespoon estimate is very handy!

  2. Ha! the post came together in my head like this: MiZFit wears her booty popper panties, and HUGE studded bracelet while hanging out on her Misfit couch while making OK signs in the air. 🙂

  3. Think I’ll take a pass on the booty popper as I’ve already been accosted with well-meaning comparisons to J-Lo. No thank you. 🙂

    I do like the uncrustable-maker, and C (big fan of the Smuckers variety) would love it. Mayhaps I’ll get it.

    Your tips & trends made me laugh today!!

  4. (Throws up a few OK signs for her peeps)

    Shelley? We mightcould do a decrusting-implement timeshare.

    I’m definitely getting one.

    Next stop? Hosting Pampered Chef parties in my domicile.

    (REALLY?! No, not really)

    M.

  6. Curse you. Now I DO want that accursed kitchen implement. And I already have WAY too many accursed kitchen implements that I never use. Are you trying to make a cook out of me??? The only person on earth who could get me to a PC party would be you. Although I’d be interested to see how you “fix” all their recipes;)

    OK and out;)

  7. My first thought was “what about people with really long fingers? Their hands probably don’t make a tablespoon.”

    And I too will pass on the booty poppers. I don’t really need any help in that area, and would like my pants to continue fitting over my bum.

  8. Don’t….understand….booty…pop….panties. Wha?!? Never have I looked in the mirror and thought, “oh if only my butt were bigger.” Now I have stood in front of the mirror while flexing my puny muscles and thought, “I wish I had bigger guns.” I wonder how long it’ll be until someone comes up with a Bicep Pop shirt? Or better yet, a full-on body suit so you can “pop” in all the right places. It’s kind of funny.

  9. Who knew that space was about a tablespoon? not me! Thanks for the tip… that should make for an interesting measuring tool 🙂

  10. Kathryn? There’s your million dollar idea!

    (Have you seen the faux tattoo sleeves? Like that only buff-i-er!)

    I’ll take 4324 with a little pumpup in the ta ta area for those days when I’m feeling like, well, a little more tata.

    See ya on Oprahs couch!

    M.

  11. As one who possesses a stubbornly flat bum (a/k/a the “back with a crack”), I just might invest in some booty pop panties. Seriously.

    OK, maybe not. I just imagined my husband sexily undressing me only to find padded underwear, collapsing in a fit of laughter, falling out of the bed, and hitting his head on the night table.

    Booty Pop almost killed my man!

  12. HA! I want you to wear that giant stud bracelet as you attend a Pampered Chef party.

    I’m logged into my work network right now and it blocked the booty popper site – something about “adult content”. LOL

  13. That sofa looks like a giant hunk of purple cheese. Normally, I’m a big fan of lounging around on cheese shaped items. But purple? No way.

  15. That’s the best part about the Misfit couch…it’s PURPLE. MizFit digs her purple, although she leans more toward the lavender?

    Did I spell any of that right?

    I’ve been to a PC party. You’re missing nothing, although their products do hold up well. I think I have one of their baking stones somewhere. Quite the invention.

    V excited about the tablespoon measurement idea. Excellent!

  16. Jen? BACK WITH A CRACK?! Hilarious.

    WELCOME Heidi!

    Priscilla? I hath no clue what a baking stone is.
    must.
    google.

    Signed,

    M., who indeed HEARTS the purple.

  17. Booty Popper. Um, no thank you. Bread circle cutter, oh yeah. TOOOOOOO dang funny you even know what Pampered Chef is. I dodged them for months trying to get out of hosting a party….not that I don’t love their products but seriously who has the required 47 friends they require? When the guy at the cleaners turned me down, I dodged phone calls.

  18. No, please no. Use a glass or a cookie cutter. Or fold over a piece of bread and crimp it with a fork. This is a cool way for them to get your money! The pizza stones are definitely a must have though…mine lives in the oven. Not only does that help to keep the heat evenly distributed, but it ensures that I always know where it is. And plus, if you never take it out of the oven, it won’t drop and break…

    Now, as for this tablespoon thing…how far down do I get to go? If it’s those not so tasty chia seeds that I got yesterday, I’m good with 1/8 inch. But if we’re talking chocolate can I go all the way out to my pinkie?

    Like the bracelet. My pre-teen son would die of mortification, and that would make it worth every dime!!

    Have a good one everybody!

  19. Oh Marianne!
    You’re so wise in the ways of FOODAGE (*sends the MizFits to click on your name*).

    I seriously hadn’t even thought of the glass/fork combo.

    I’m now wondering if my bread is moist enough for that?

    Thumbtyping so more on the chia later but DETAILS PLEASE.

    What didn’t you like?

    M.

  20. I bought that sandwich dealie for all the same reasons you did.

    IT SUCKS! Save your money. Notice that they never bring it to demonstrate at the party? I’ve never been able to make it work right.

  21. oh M, that last one made me literally LAUGH out loud! and you ladies are hilarious….good call on the glass fork combo marianne, so simple!

  22. Okay, so you just KNOW that your next video is going to have to feature you on the couch wearing the giant stud and booty popper!

    Also thanks for the tbsp thing (yes, yes I am going to start making OK signs at every restaurant I go to).

  23. Oh Dear Lord! This AM when I read the Booty Pop thing I thought it said Booty Pooper! I could not imagine. I need to sleep more or wear glasses!

    Ah, the Angry Chef (as I call it) I love my Pizza Stone also.

  26. If you buy the cut-n-seal please make sure to send your leftover bread crusts to a starving grad student runner! That’s FrayedLaces, PO Box……

  27. OMG – I swear to God, I wore the BootyPop panties around all day yesterday as part of a blogging experiment. I’ll be reporting soon on my experiences in Bootyliciousland. Crazy coincidence!!

  28. I’ve got plenty of booty, but the BootyPop made me laugh.

    I love my baking stone, though. It’s my one PC item — oh, I take that back. I also have the plastic holders you can put into ears of corn before you boil them. They stay cool to the touch; thus, no more burning your fingers trying to put the holders into hot ears of corn. Genius!

  29. The Bag Lady is just dashing through – can’t stop to look at all the links because there is an electrical storm coming and she needs to take cover (she and her dog have to go hide under the bed now….)

  30. man, it SURELY does take a village.

    Id be a booty popping giant stud sporting pampered chef buying whilst throwing up OK-signs like a gang member MizFit if ya’ll didnt save me from myself.

    thank you.

    M.

  31. No sandwich thingy is going to work on decent bread. It kinda relies on the squishy factor of Wonder type breads (read that I Wonder who they paid to be allowed to call it Bread). Unless you’re OK with something like Aunt Millie’s potato bread which has inulin or some of the other new fangled vegetable fibers, then it works ok. You could always stuff the leftover crusts in plastic baggies and shove ’em in your jeans pocket for a thrifty homemade booty pop of your own!!!

  33. Yeah, my problem with the sandwich thing is that you’ve got all this leftover sandwich that goes to waste! Either that or you wind up eating the crust of your kid’s sandwich when you don’t need to.

    I have plenty of PC items, mostly that my Mom got me. I love my chopper and the pizza/baking stone. Both are fantastic. Of course, I love to cook, so I adore kitchen gadgets!

  34. OMG – I have a friend who is always complaining that she has no butt! Must inform her that her dream of a booty can now be fulfilled…. (The Bag Lady doesn’t have much of a butt, either, but her gut makes up for it…)
