How to Make Perfect Rice Every Time!

I had the amazing privilege to spend 8 months of my life living in Thailand during college with a friend, about 8 years ago. This was an experience I will never forget and cannot wait to return someday with my little family... While I was there, a wonderful woman we called 'Bah Loon' taught me a million things. She was like a second mother to us and I miss her so much!

Bah Loon had an amazing gift of cooking food and she could whip up any Thai dish in a matter of minutes! Guess what? She taught me some of her secrets! I was a college student who could make eggs, bake cookies, and a few other life essentials... but Bah Loon turned me into a great cook and helped bestow a love for cooking in me. I'm just gonna say it... I make a pretty mean supper now! Alas, we are off topic, back to why you're here: Bah Loon taught me the secret of how to make perfect rice. Below are some tips that might change your life, haha!

Roasted Marshmallow Strawberries

I am about to blow your mind.

I was wasting time on Pinterest the other day (which turned out to be the greatest decision of my life) and lookie what I found:

Furey and the Feast

Don't they look fabulous? Of course they do. Cynthia Furey has the full recipe on her blog right here: Fury and the Feast. I have not actually tried her recipe, though it looks fantastic, but I took one look at these babies and made them the easy way... Shh!

Kicked Out of the Car Wash?

Well, it happened. The world is officially crazy.

Don't believe me?

Yesterday, my husband borrowed a friend's truck and took it to the car wash to be nice... while he was cleaning it (and had already paid), an employee came over, waved his arms and yelled at him saying, "No, NO! I'm tired of you people coming in here and making everything messy! Your truck is too dirty, get out of here!" Huh? Did he seriously just tell him that the truck was too dirty at a car wash? And 'YOU people'? What does that mean?
