Amazing Places

In some of my other posts, I have shown pictures of places that I love or would love to go too.  I love to travel and adventure so I like to save these places that I find when I am browsing on Pinterest. Today I found the most amazing place/idea for a lodge I have EVER seen.  Check it out....

What you are looking at right now is a lodge/hotel in Finland where you can sleep in a glass top igloo so that you can watch the northern lights!  Who in their life has not wondered what it would be like to sleep in an igloo??  That would be the coolest place to watch the northern lights too.  I would absolutely love to go to this place and stay for a night. It would be two dreams come true.  Sadly when I clicked on the link of this picture it did not have a name or an exact location of where it is.  But I am sure that if you did a little bit more digging you could find out.  Even if not.. now you have something new to dream about. Enjoy.

Cleaning a glass oven top-bogus!

Some of my favorite Pinterest pins are the ones about cleaning. I found this one on how to clean a glass stove top.  I have a glass stove top and  I awaiting the day that I get a new oven that is not gladd top but until then I am dealing with what I have. So when I found this tip on Pinterest I thought I should try it becaue our stove has a lot of stains and stuff I have tried to get off but never could, from the previous home owners ( who also cracked the top, I want a new oven!). 

It seemed simple enough.   Just take 2 dish towels soaked in warm water and soap and lay them over baking powder that you sprinkled over the glass top and let it sit for 15 minutes.  Then you use the wrags to wipe off the baking soda.  Here is how mine looked.

I know what you are thinking, that my oven does look cleaner.  And yes that is true.  BUT this was supposed to help get rid of burn marks, which is totally did not.  Further more this created a big mess. When I went to wipe it up and I lifted the rags, the baking soda was all balled up and it went all over my floor. It was so annoying! My husband literally looked at me and said asked why I was making such a mess.  This is a totally BOGUS cleaning tip.  It is time consuming, messy, and it does not do a better job than just spraying some good old 409 and wiping it down.  I would NOT recommend this for anyone that has a glass top.  It is lame. Just stick with what ever technique you have already.

Memes

Lets talk about all of those memes out there on Pinterest.  Some of them really make me laugh.  This post is dedicated to the ever popular meme.  Behold some my most favorite...

I mean really.. we are all guilty of thinking... and doing this! No Shame!

This one needs no explanation. 

I love it

The last one I will share in this post is by far one of my very most favorite.  First, because I love the old Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and second because I own a couple North Face jackets.  So naturally when I saw this meme I fell in love...

So there they are some of my favorite memes.  There are so many of them out there that I am sure I will do another post that is an ode to memes some time in the future.  Feel free to share with me some of the memes that you enjoy, I would love to see them! But keep 'em clean please!

Spices!

I was so excited when I saw this picture.  One of my biggest complaints about cooking is that I have no idea what spices work well together or with what foods they work with.  I try and "experiment" and sometimes it turns out okay but most of the time it's a total disaster.  I found this chart on Pinterest and I have followed some of the suggestions on it and I love it! So I am passing it on to all of you because seriously it is a big help in the kitchen!  Enjoy!
