The Bears did not have the proudest showing in their game against the Vikes last night. They lost by eight points with a lot of questionable calls from the refs leaving fans asking if this is a collision sport or a contact sport… In any event, there is no question that fans, are not fans of 43-year-old head coach Matt Nagy. During the live broadcast, after Nagy pulled out a challenge flag, you can hear a this golden nugget of audio from a Bears fan from the stands.
Alright, I’m not gonna pretend like I’m Rachel Ray in the kitchen. But every once in a while I’ll find an old recipe from when I was kid to try to tackle for myself as an adult. This one for Blueberry muffins is pretty stellar, but most importantly- EASY. I don’t like to get too intricate in the kitchen- keep it simple baby! This is courtesy of my aunt who used to be a food editor. She claims this is the best.
Ali’s Blueberry Muffins
2 C Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 C Butter
1 1/4 C Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 C Milk
2 C Blueberries, or more if you want! (if they’re frozen, don’t let them thaw out- gets too watery)
2 Teaspoons Sugar (before you put them in the oven on the tops!)
Cream butter and sugar together. Butter should be room temp- don’t put it in the microwave, it’s a bad move. Then add the eggs. The add the flour, salt and baking soda. Then add the milk, once that’s mixed in, gently fold in the blueberries (frozen or fresh). Put those bad boys in a muffin pan with cute little cups, then sprinkle sugar on the top. Bake at 375 for 22-27 min. 22 Should be perfect though!
This woman is the living, breathing, example of ‘GETTIN’ IT.’ And in high heels no less! A company holiday party is no place for that though. Be discreet! Here are the rules that everyone knows: buy a white elephant gift that doesn’t suck, have two drinks, make small talk for two hours, then leave! Too many people get into trouble at company Christmas parties, like this woman. You can’t tell me this won’t be what everyone in the office is talking about on January 3rd… After head banging for the first time in a while at The Nights We Stole Christmas, let me tell you something, her neck is going to hurt tomorrow.
Yes, humans enjoy Christmas music. But what about your pup? According to science, err just a recent survey of 1,000 dogs, that don’t speak English, their ‘favorite’ holiday song IS…
Wham!’s “Last Christmas.” A whopping 10% of doggos really dug this jam. Here’s a few other songs they liked: “Jingle Bells” 8%, Mariah’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” 6% and some other hits including “Wonderful Christmastime” from Sir Paul plus Chris Rea’s “Driving Home For Christmas.”
Music is good way to keep your dog calm during the holidays with all of the extra people around and events going on. You don’t have to play Wham! on repeat, but something that makes you happy will probably make them happy too, unless it’s thrash metal, that might not calm them down…
A woman in Canada put up a life-size Rudolph lawn ornament and now deer won’t stop attacking it. IT’S REAL TO THEM, DANG IT! Deer usually don’t go after fake lawn ornaments, because they don’t even look half-way real! But this one, other than the glowing red nose, is very deer-like, hence the assaults. Watch for yourself!
Those pesky cats are always getting into the tree! They can’t help it, all of the dangling lights and ornaments are like toys, waiting to be destroyed. Becca Richards saw on TikTok that it was possible to keep your cat from the tree if you scare it first before you put it up. Now people are posting videos of them scaring their precious felines with their trees to make sure that they won’t mess it with all season long.
It seems like a great idea in theory, and trust me, has made for plenty of hilarious cat videos- which we all know the internet needs more of… BUT it might not be the best idea for your kitty. Vet and Pumpkin Pet Insurance Doctor, Sarah Wooten recommends against doing this to your pet. It could create behavioral problems, misplaced anger and anxiety. She suggests to instead create another space where they can play and be rowdy.
Anyone with a cat knows this ain’t happening. I suggest the good ol’ fashioned water bottle spray or maybe just putting the nice ornaments a little higher up on the tree.
Timothy Baise lives in Michigan and is Head of The Homeless Angels, a homeless outreach program in his community in Lansing. The good soul that he is, he asked the manager of the Mayfield airport what he should send to Kentucky to help people affected from the tornadoes earlier this month. Tim got choked up when the manager said one thing “toys.” With so many houses destroyed, there’s no way these families will be able to get toys for their kids right now. He and some friends stuff his ‘sleigh’ with over 1,000 toys to deliver to children in Mayfield, Kentucky so now their holiday will be a little bright.
After a night of… imbibing, a woman asks her roommate to let her in the house via the doorbell camera. First off, she can barely stand so thank god she made it that far without hurting herself. Secondly, I don’t know if her roommate was purposely not letting her in right away to see what she would do, but the last few seconds are gold so bravo to her if that’s the case. Watch until the very end!
Did you know that you can have Google Maps learn your dietary restrictions?
Me either.
I’m one of those lucky ones that doesn’t have to worry about that. But if I could search for eateries near me without having to worry about that step? Sounds like a win to me.
twenty one pilots have released a live video for “The Outside” from one of their final shows of 2021: headlining the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City.
Tyler and Josh plan to shoot a proper music video for “The Outside” after the holidays.
Toni Cornell performed on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon the other night. She covered Nothing Compares 2 U, a Prince song (made famous by Sinéad O’Connor) her father covered that is included on his grammy nominated album ‘No One Sings Like You Anymore.’ It sure is dusty in here… What an incredible talent. <3 Lauren
This clip of an elephant has gone viral on Twitter. Yes, we know elephants are very intelligent, but now we know that they can understand the concept of jokes and pranks. In the clip, the beautiful beast can be seen taking a woman’s hat, pretending to eat it, then giving it back to her at the perfect time. His comedic timing is on point. What a sneaky guy! I can’t stop watching it! SO cute!
First Arby’s came out with a vodka that tasted like their curly fries, and now Lay’s potato chips wants in on the vodka game too. Unlike the Arby’s version, one bottle won’t set you back $60, the Lay’s version is only $40. It’s also made by a different distillery out of Oregon called Eastside Distilling. The 80 proof spirit is sure to get the job done, but is the taste of potato chips overwhelming? Try one for yourself –
The same guy that brought you a real life Squid Game, MrBeast, is now giving people the opportunity to get a Lamborghini… for $35. If you purchase an entry, you’ll receive a tiny Lambo, about 1/64 the size of the real guy. 2,500 people will receive a remote control car, and 250 get a battery powered one. Four people will win a pre-owned car, worth about $100,000 each. And finally, one very lucky person will get a Lamborghini Aventador that is worth around $250k. Damn! He’s like Oprah- ‘everyone gets a car!!’
Housing prices are through the roof. But what is it like at The North Pole? A little over a cool million according to Zillow, and good news for the bearded man, the value went up 19% last year for him! They posted pics of Santa’s pad, along with elf village on their site for the holidays. Of course, it’s not for sale because he will be needing it for eternity.
The Main House is 2,500 sq ft and was built in 1822, then saw some renovations in 2013… Mrs. Claus wanted a bigger bathroom. The Elf Village cabins are pretty sweet too. But the workshop and 25 acres are what really set this property apart from the rest. Check it out!
A group of ducks visit Dee Dee Ramone’s grave daily, cued by the sound of the “Ducks-krieg Bop” dinner bell.
It started when Coyote Shivers (you may recall from Empire Records) and partner Pleasant Gehman took in five ducks from a friend and starting feeding them at Dee Dee’s tombstone at the Hollywood Forever Cemetary.
The original ducks are aptly named Dee Dee, Joey, Johnny, Tommy (after the original four Ramones) and Sheena for the classic song “Sheena Is a Punk Rocker.”
What happens when you’re on vacay and every employee walks out and everyone is locked out of their room? You make due and start running the place. In the video, you can see a bunch of adults let to run the front. They’re hanging out playing games until one woman who couldn’t get into her room decided to call the cops. That’s fair, but also a great story from vacation that they’ll probably never forget. I hope they gave themselves a tip!
Meet Shauna, she was 6 months old when her parents found out that she had brain cancer. When she went through with chemotherapy, her pituitary gland was almost completely dormant. Doctors told her that she was done growing and now she’s 22 years old, and is 3ft, 10 inches. But she still wants to feel like an adult even though no one sees her as one. Her dating life is even harder. She attracts a lot of creeps and and idiots. It’s not easy being stuck in a kid’s body!!
