MyOtherPrincess Cupcake Bath Fizzie Give Away ~ Beat the Monday Blahs~

I have to tell you about how adorable these fizzy cupcakes from myotherprincess are in real life! I purchased 3 last week while my husband was away for the week, I was thinking after the kids got in bed at night, I'd have a "Cupcake, take me away!" moment...and I was right. I ordered Sugar Cookie, Hey Sugar, and Apple. I SHOULD have ordered more. I got out of the bath with soft, smooth skin, and I smelled delicious too! The cupcakes look so real, and they're perfect for any age from toddler to grandma!

Korean Pork Recipe

First of all, I can not take credit for this recipe, my boy Emeril taught me how to make it. However, I will say it is DELICIOUS! My whole family likes it! I must tell you though, that my picture is not very appetizing. It needs a little green, no? Well, you're supposed to wrap it all up in Boston, Bibb or Butter lettuce, and make like a Korean burrito. However, I can not find that lettuce here in back woods country USA. Strictly iceberg...sooooo......we don't do it. LOL However, without further ado, here is the recipe:

After you purchase your pork tenderloin, be sure to pop it in the freezer for about 30-45 minutes, so it's easy to slice in 1/4" thick slices!!

Hot Sauce
(This goes on the pork before you eat it. I don't like hot stuff, so I don't put it on there, and it's still delicious!)
2 TBSP Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce
2 TBSP of sesame oil
4 tsp honey

Pork Marinade
A good 45 minutes to an hour in this marinade should do it. Last time I made this I marinated it overnight, and it didn't make a difference.
1/4 c soy sauce (we use low sodium)
1 TBSP sugar
4 tsp Sesame Oil
1/2 c chopped green onions
1 TBSP minced garlic
1 TBSP minced ginger

Whisk these together in a bowl until the sugar dissolves. Pour over pork. Marinate in refrigerator. Cook in skillet in a few drizzles of oil (I use olive, but you can use vegetable).

Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Serve with Jasmine rice. If you can find the right lettuce, make the wrap with rice, pork, and a few dabs of the hot sauce. Believe me, you only want a few! LOL

Random Musings About Soy Wax Tarts

Chocolate Turtle Brownie Soy Wax Tart Melts $4.00

So for a while now, I have been trying to figure out why I'm just not getting into The Tempting Tart like I should be. I have enough scents to make tarts for ages! Anyway, I just couldn't put my finger on it. I love the branding. I love the idea of tarts, it's just that nothing was getting done. The other day I was up in my craft area, and I figured it out. Could you believe it was something as simple as the shape? I mean, I've been collecting all these molds, with all these grand ideas to do with them, and my heart just wasn't in it. But I'm on the ball now!! Yesterday I deleted my whole shop, and I'm restocking as we speak! I'm going to offer muffin shaped melts (round ones) in 2 size packs, a 4 pack and a 6 pack. The delicious food scents will be made into grubby type melts, ones that look like real muffins. And now, I have a purpose, and LOTS of ideas!

For those of you that don't know what a wax tart is (also called a melt), it's a highly scented, wickless alternative to a candle. You need a melt warmer or candle warmer to melt them, and once they do, they release their scent into the air and make your house smell delicious! There are some pretty cool melt warmers out there too. Some melt the tarts with electric, but most use a standard tea light (you can get these at the dollar store in packs of 50 and 100 for...well...$1.00! Tarts are a great alternative for those of us that can't commit to one scent for very long. Once the wax hardens up, you pop it out and change the scent. You can even mix scents for your own custom blends....strawberry and vanilla, hot apple pie and vanilla, etc.

I'm always open to suggestions! Got a scent you'd love to have? Just drop me a note, I'd be glad to create it for you!
