Small Potatoes

1.  I have been so good to myself lately, eating healthy foods and eliminating processed and refined food, especially sugar and yeast.  Then I saw this recipe for fall truffles in Food Network magazine.  Then I tweaked the recipe and accidentally made them so good, so addictive, that I'm seriously considering filing a restraining order against my culinary genius.

2.  I figured out a great way to take off temporary tattoos when you don't have any isopropyl alcohol lying around: mouthwash.  You know that horrible burning sensation you feel when you rinse with mouthwash - it's alcohol.  Works like a charm, and leaves your previously fake-inked body parts smelling minty fresh to boot!

3.  Why was I wearing temporary tattoos, you ask?  Because I attended a pumpkin-carving party, and the host is a super-fun chick who does things like leave out Halloween temporary tattoos for people to put on.  Because acting like a seven-year-old is fun sometimes, and putting a fake spider tattoo on your hip is spooky sexy allthetimes.

4.  I just discovered Instacanvas.  They take your favorite Instagram pictures and put them on canvas or in a nice frame.  I got so excited about it that I immediately ordered one of my favorite pictures of Dolce.  Shhh.  Don't tell the Sous Chef.

5.  In order to get back my pre-truffle healthy mentality, I've started doing yoga again and tweaked my work hours a bit so that I'll be able to go to the gym in the morning without getting up before dawn.  I am very excited about this.  So excited I want to eat a fall truffle.  But I won't.  Because the truffle shuffle is not very attractive:



6.  Can someone please come to my house and take these leftover truffles away?

7.  I'll give you the recipe later this week.  Promise.
