Festivus Brunch

https://serenityspaonline.com/yehs4vnvc 1

Buy Diazepam 10 Mg I thought you might need some eye candy on this Monday. Feast on this! I went to a brunch hosted by some fun ladies and I have to say, I was totally impressed. Not that I expected anything less from these gals who host some pretty rockin’ parties, but this was one for the lesson books. I think everyone can take some brunch pointers from them. It was so convenient that they had a brunch. At a time of year where there are get-togethers and cocktail parties all the time the brunch was really refreshing and fit into my schedule perfectly. Now, onto the lesson!

Rule 1: Choose quality products.

The sky is the limit for the hot chocolate bar and they had all the best additions

Rule 2: Know your strengths/Use what you have.

If you make fantastic quiches all the time, why not serve ’em? This one is tomato, basil, goat cheese and is delectable!

One of these ladies bakes regularly whipped up bakery-quality muffins and frosted them.

http://www.wowogallery.com/4jcvn6q9u Call in an expert to make their specialty dish. If you’ve ever had Mrs. P’s coffee cake you’d know what I was talkin’ about.

Rule 3: Concentrate on a few special (yet do-able) distinctive touches.

Their resident baker has the best cake decorations…especially for gingerbread muffins

They served a pretty memorable jam selection

Rule 4: Keep ’em happy with some variety

https://www.chat-quiberon.com/2024/01/18/jad0psjopz What a fun treat for a non-breakfast person? Also a beverage option for anyone not wanting to spike their cocoa/coffee.

I missed photos of the bacon, tator tots, and ham and egg in a crockpot. See what I told ya about their variety!?!

https://space1026.com/2024/01/k7tyeyc P.S. I brought some ebilskiver with candycane centers!

Taste of the South

https://www.justoffbase.co.uk/uncategorized/vvechfr16 1

Charleston, SC was awesome. I love cities that feel like my own and I LOVE going places that just feel so different. Charleston definitely felt like we were away and exploring somewhere different.Sis and I discovered boiled peanuts. I’ve never seen such a thing! We got them from a crazy stand on the side of the road. Yes, we ate something that came from this hut.

The peanuts were soft and squishy and super salty! They came in flavors of regular, ham, or cajun. I liked them but sis wasn’t impressed. They “double bag ‘em” as the guy told me so we could drop the shells inbetween the two bags. He also gave us paper towels for our hands. How thoughtful!

We also stopped by a farmer’s market that was really cute. The produce was beautiful. Check out the peppers!

We couldn’t resist the mini doughnuts.

They even show you how them make them.

I breakfasted one day on biscuits and gravy. Ohh wow. This biscuit was colossal and was pretty impressive. I rounded it out with a fruit parfait but that wasn’t as exciting.

Charleston also introduced us to pink chips for breast cancer. That definitely dates how behind this post is 😉

These cashew turtles brought me back to my high school job working at a gourmet candy store.

We had barbecue at Sticky Fingers. The sweet potato puree was my inspiration for my own sweet potato puree! The smoked wings were amazing.

1st Blogaversary

https://www.ngoc.org.uk/uncategorized/future-events/mgehhlt00b7 5

Happy Blogaversary to The Three Bite Rule!

Buy Xanax 2Mg Can you believe The Three Bite Rule is a year old today?!?! Wow. I cannot believe it’s been 365 days with 139 posts and 667 photos and lots of techie learning along the way. This year has been full of changes, travel, our wedding, job changing, new kitchen equipment, and so much more.

https://gungrove.com/ccvl78x7 In celebration I’d love to make some goals for year 2 of the blog and extend some awards.

Goals for year 2:

https://www.prehistoricsoul.com/96pffyk9 1 – Some behind the scenes growing up and some website changes: I need a better archive system/recipe index; biz cards; pinterest follow icon; and to finally figure out why my tweets like to repeat. I’m sure there are some other items that need tweaking too.

2 – I would love to improve my photos…I’m sure you’d love that too! I desperately want a kitchen with a window but in the meantime I need a better lighting set up. I got an amazing camera but the lack of natural light and too much yellow light annoys me when photo editing. Stay tuned.

https://fireheartmusic.com/8p0npfcby 3 – More guest posts: come on down! (email emily@thethreebiterule.com for details)

4 – Get a bit better about prepping posts further in advance. Ever notice they appear at 7:30 or 11:30? Well, I’m spilling the beans that no, I’m not hitting “send” before/during work. I schedule them to appear.

https://fireheartmusic.com/5uyxmjm 5 – More Giveaways. Scratch that. Some giveaways. Wouldn’t that be fun?

https://modaypadel.com/kmj7m0pd 6 – More restaurant recreations, more food round ups, more food/drink related crafts, & more unusual stuff.

7 – Move to a house with real kitchen unlike my current apartment kitchen which drives me nutty. Then all my new kitchen toys can come out to play!

https://www.ngoc.org.uk/uncategorized/future-events/welhwtjp3v 8 – Preview of coming attractions so you can get excited before I even post ‘em!

https://sieterevueltas.net/7lnt0axox3x 9 – Host more often so I can share with others and learn more from different tastes.

https://manabernardes.com/2024/43t36xr57jd 10 – Be more creative.

Now, for some superlatives:
