Can I just say that I have some of the best friends EVER?! I was sitting at work today worrying because I didn’t have any material for this damn post. I tried to write it two nights ago because I always seem to write better right before I head off to bed, but it just wasn’t flowing for me.
So instead, let me just make you cry a little with this super yummy picture of my dinner last night… Double double cheeseburger animal style with fries from In-N-Out, y’all.
Doesn’t it make your stomach grumble? I bet it does. Hate me. Hate me all you want. I’ll still love ya. I don’t even know what I’m talking about anymore.
Before we continue with this blog post, I HAVE to show you this video that my friend, Mark, shared with me via Facebook. Holy shit, I laughed so hard! I still am quite not sure how the hell this entire thing got produced as I didn’t get a chance for any clarification before this post published but…who cares?! Mad props to Mark for getting this puppet guy to give me some awesome compliments about my blog
If y’all don’t remember Mark, then shame on you! I featured him in my Great Balls of Fire Chocolate Pudding Cupcakes post because of the amazing rap he left for me so go check it out if you haven’t already (this will be a chance for you to redeem your shame). Then you’ll be rapping “Vyvacious Bodacious” all day too…
Now back to last night… Well, my volunteer group, Orange County Young Professionals (OCYP) of Costa Mesa Kiwanis (phew, what a fucking mouthful, eh?) met last night. It was a board meeting and it went fantastically with some very awesome events planned for the future. Now don’t exit out of this blog post just yet. Just because I was at this meeting doesn’t mean we didn’t talk about some interesting shit. Actually, the more awesome shit came afterward when my friend (let’s call him Jay) and I were sitting in his car just talking.
I asked him for dating advice because let’s be real here, I fucking suck at that shit. The whole “game” thing? Yeah, not good at it. And somehow we started talking about online dating. Now I’ve heard both super amazing success stories and I’ve also heard some of THE worst horror stories.
Long story short, I’m paranoid that a serial killer will show up in a clown costume (I’m looking at you, Le Clown), immobilize me by feeding me nuts (peanuts, you dirty-minded fucks – by the way, I’m allergic), and then make me watch him intoxicating-ly remove his red nose and big shoes. Essentially, perform a de-clowning strip tease. To me honest, I’M not even sure what the hell I’m talking about anymore.
What are your views and thoughts on online dating, y’all? Yay or nay?
I know that maedez over at A Small Pressed Life met her Chef Hubby through online dating and it was a great love story from the beginning but I’m still nervous. Even though Jay doesn’t do online dating himself, he still encouraged me to try it. He knows how busy I am and thinks it’ll open doors for me as it’ll help me find someone I’m compatible with. Truth is, the part I’m nervous about is wasting my time with random creepers. But as Jay says, ″It only takes one good guy, Vyvy″. Smart dude. So help a sista out, what do YOU think about online dating?
Here are some things about me to help you make your decision:
- I love Batman (duh).
- I love food (double duh). This means I need someone who’s also adventurous food-wise, but maybe not as adventurous as eating monkey brains in a 3rd world country.
- I like to boogie until the sun comes up and would love a dance partner who isn’t scared of my super sexy medley of moves (that’s right, I said it – SUPER sexy).
You know, this shit is harder than I expected. On top of telling me what you think about online dating, how about you also tell me what the hell I should put in my dating profile if I ever make one (sheesh, I’m demanding, aren’t I…?). Maybe I should leave out the part about ″pro at castration of cheating exes″. Or maybe not…let me know, yo!
In the meantime, here’s that damn recipe, y’all wanted. Except wait…it was a motherf’ing tie!! So here’s the recipe for the delicious Butter Yellow Pudding Cupcakes that I brought to Sweet Mother’s Podcom Comedy Show. It was fecking™ hilarious (check out Sweet Mother made me fecking™ cry if you haven’t already). Madame Weebles’ Indulgent Chocolate Cake recipe shall be posted soon. Hopefully I won’t tease y’all like I did with the Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Truffle Brownies and keep you waiting forever…
And here, my friends, is the long awaited half-bitten Butter Yellow Pudding Cupcakes picture… Please ignore the slopping frosting job, I was in a hurry to get some cake in my belly!!!
Butter Yellow Pudding Cupcakes
*Makes 48 mini cupcakes, 24 cupcakes, or 2 (8-inch) round cakes
Click here to print or save the recipe to your computer!!
Ingredients:
- 1 box of butter yellow cake mix (I prefer Betty Crocker)
- 1 stick of butter, softened
- 1 cup of milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1 (3.4 oz) box of vanilla instant pudding Jello mix
Equipment:
- Hand mixer, large mixing bowl, cupcake baking pan (or equivalent)
- Rubber spatula, ice cream scoop (proportional to size of muffin pan cavities), cooling rack
Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put all the ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Using the hand mixer, mix on low until the ingredients are just incorporated then beat on high for 2-3 minutes until the batter gets fluffy in nature. Scrape the sides of the mixing bowl down as needed.
- Line your cupcake baking pan (if that’s what you’re using) with cupcake liners. Using the appropriate ice cream scoop, divvy up the batter amongst the cupcake cavities.
- For mini cupcakes, bake for 8 mins. For regular cupcakes and the cakes, bake for 15 mins and check it. Bake for a minute or two more if needed.
- Let the cupcakes sit for 5-10 mins in their pans before moving to a cooling rack.
Let cupcakes cool to room temperature then frost with my favorite Dark Chocolate Frosting and enjoy or store in an airtight container at cool room temperature to frost and devour at a later time
Until next time, y’all!!
