Chocolate Dream CakeThis cake had made the internet go crazy. I was curious so I tried to search how it's made. It was actually basically made of 4 layers; from bottom is chocolate moist cake, chocolate frosting, chocolate pudding and chocolate disk on top and garnished with cocoa powder. Some layers are even drizzled with chocolate syrup.
Whey SoupIn many countries where cheeses are made at home, thrifty cooks use the whey as a soup base. My mother was from Poland. She made a sauerkraut soup that reminds me of this because of the slight tang. This recipe can be doubled.
Caramelized Onion ChickenThis is a great way to make the most amazing caramelized onion chicken without the use of added fats. The juices from the onion and chicken themselves are enough to make a fabulous cooking liquid that cooks everything up just right. The lemons are optional here, but I highly suggest them!
Homemade LED Vanity MirrorSkip paying $30 and up buying a light-up vanity mirror and make your own from the dollar store! You can get a decent sized mirror and LED lights for a buck each. Just affix the lights and turn them on for use. I love this for things like precise eyebrow tweezing. You really catch all the details!
Flowers at Pickering Pioneer VillageThis purple flower was blooming just outside the front gate of one of the houses situated at the Pickering Pioneer Village. The orange one was found along a fence bordering a garden patch outside of a structure.
Magazine Holders As Printer ShelfI recently found two wooden magazine holders. They make great corner shelves for an RV or She Shed or Man Cave. So tonight, I simply taped mine together and sat it under the printer/scanner. This gives me ample room for printer paper. Now if I were doing something else with it, I would use wood glue and perhaps better tape, if I still needed it.
Teeny Tiny Dolly SlippersOh so cute little pompom slippers that are oh so easy to make using easy to find craft supplies. Young teenagers would love to make these. And they are a brilliant idea to scatter around the table for a decoration at a baby shower.
Project Computer Screen on TVMy only splurge is yoga class. At first, teachers came over and corrected my alignment often. It was worth the price. Five years later, not so much. I read about yoga classes on the computer, but the screen is small. I knew there had to be a way to hook up the computer to the TV screen. I looked it up on YouTube and they said an HDMI cable would work. One end goes on the port on the TV and the other end goes on the port on the computer.
Ferrero Rocher Golden Snitch (Harry Potter)My son had a Harry Potter themed birthday party. One of the treats I made were these Ferrero Rocher Golden Snitches. They were the perfect pairing to go with the red and gold Gryffindor cupcakes that we had.
Alternative to New Year's ResolutionsI like the comment I heard today in exercise class. This young woman said she doesn't make new year's resolutions but instead picks a word to think more about and implement personally for the year. Her words this year were "commitment" and "support". That's an interesting concept!

Getting Rid of Little Black Biting Bugs?In September of last year I had bed bugs. I had the house sprayed, but also was using a steam cleaner on everything in my house, my curtains, furniture, rugs, and clothes to help get rid of the bed bugs. Around the same time these white pearly things started to show up especially on my furniture.
Removing a Tattoo?I have a permanent tattoo on the side of my arm. I have gotten bored with that tattoo so I want to remove it, but I am very scared of laser treatment. I heard it hurts a lot. So I am looking for a natural medicine or therapy which works for me without pain.

Identifying a Leonardo Collection Figurine?I've emailed the company, but the lady who responded (who had worked there 10 years) said she didn't recognise the figurine.

Attaching Scrapbook Paper Cut Outs to a Styrofoam Ball?I am wanting to make a Christmas ornament by using left over scrapbook paper scraps (punched flower) attached to a Styrofoam ball.

Identifying a Porcelain Skater Doll?I've recently come into possession of a doll I can't identify and I'm hoping you can help.

Start and Stop Buttons Not Working on GE Microwave?My Spacemaker GE microwave is working fine when I use 30 seconds, or 1, 2.. minutes, but when I manually add the time and press the "start" button then it's not working, the "stop/cancel" button is not working either. The bottom line is it's only working on other buttons. What caused this issue?

Heater Does Not Work When Plugged Into Certain Outlets?I have a portable electric heater. It just started shutting down while plugged into 3 specific outlets in one room. It works fine plugged into other outlets in the same room. Other things work fine plugged into those same outlets. Just the heater trips out. It does not trip the circuit breaker. What could the problem be?
