Vampire Diaries - The Five

Sigh.  First disappointing VD of the season.  All three of these girls were let down.

Grades
Leah: C+
Rebecca: C- in general, D "for a VD episode"
Lorelai: (coming soon)

The chat wasn't even that fun since the episode kinda sucked.  But here's a few quotes Leah thought were cute:

Leah: Alright are we gonna do this or what

Rebecca: READY

Leah: this new scenes from the last is stupid

Rebecca: I'm tired of this opening

Rebecca: HAHA

Leah: ha ha

Leah: awesome

Leah: NEW SEASON DRINKING GAME WORD

Rebecca: blood share?

Leah: ha ha yep

Rebecca: so she can only drink from Matt?

Leah: this was predictable but I like it

Leah: maybe she'll kill him

Rebecca: good

Rebecca: Matt is boring

Leah: poor Matt

Rebecca: Can't she heal that shit?

Leah: He truly is just a human blood bag now

Rebecca: Elena deserved that

Rebecca: don't fucking throw a pencil at an original bitch

Leah: Oh Elena are you a bourbon aficionado now?

Rebecca: Damon is not dumb

Leah: Damon is way smarter than Elena

Rebecca: I thought that the vampires couldn't use the white oak stake

Rebecca: Elena is a giant tease

Leah: Elena is silly

Rebecca: Klaus is calling Tyler out

Leah: DO YOU THINK HE DID IT

Rebecca: did the werewolf girl?

Rebecca: yes

Leah: well shit

Leah: BLOOD SHARE

Rebecca: god another non-sex scene

Rebecca: apparently no one is getting laid

Leah: Rebekah is so stupid

Leah: So gullible

Rebecca: well to be fair she spent 80 years in casket

Leah: OH SHIT

Rebecca: OH SHIT

Rebecca: no no

Leah: Wait

Leah: wait

Leah: Is that Matt's heart?

Leah: Klaus saying "love" > Edward saying "love"

Rebecca: when Klaus says it it's hot

Rebecca: so why can't she keep down anyone else's blood??

Leah: Oh Matt

Leah: I don't know

Leah: Ick

Rebecca: oh now she is going to cry

Rebecca: nailed it

Leah: Of course

Leah: what have I done?

Leah: Just let her kill someone

Rebecca: agree

Rebecca: episode grade?

Rebecca: C-

Leah: C+ at best

Rebecca: I thought it was super boring

Leah: I told Lorelai to let us know what hers is too

Rebecca: I would give it a D for a VD episode

Hoping for better grades next week.  Don't let us down, CW!

First guest blogger - Lorelai and the Cauliflower Cheesy Garlic "Bread" Sticks

So, I have a confession to make.  I love to eat unhealthy food.  Pizza, burgers, tacos—you name it and I’m probably a fan.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t blessed with the crazy metabolism of a supermodel, so I’m always looking for ways to replace those unhealthy foods with better choices.

When I started seeing recipes online for cauliflower crusts for pizza, I was skeptical to say the least.  After enough positive reviews, I decided to give it a shot and thought that “breadsticks” would be a good first try.

Oh.My.God.  Why didn’t I know about this sooner?  They are amazing.  They really taste like breadsticks….maybe even better.

Here is the recipe over at Mom, What’s for Dinner? that I used as the basis of my first attempt. http://whatsfordinner-momwhatsfordinner.blogspot.com/2012/06/cheesy-garlic-cauliflower-bread-sticks.html

What I changed:

·       I used a cheese grater to shred my cauliflower before I cooked it.

·       Then I added a little water and microwaved my grated cauliflower for a few minutes

·       For the topping, I didn’t use any butter.  Who needs the extra fat and calories?

Now I’ve made this recipe twice.  It might have been two nights in a row but I’m not confirming anything.  The first night I made these on a cookie sheet with wax paper.  For the first time ever, I had something stick to wax paper!  I wasn’t able to peel my breadsticks nicely off, which was a bummer, but the chunks I was able to get were awesome.  Next time, I think I’ll try spraying the wax paper first. The second night I used my pizza stone, and the breadsticks came right off.  The middle wasn’t as done as I would have liked, but it was dinnertime so we just went with it.  Still tasted delish!

Hope you give this recipe a try and let me know how yours turn out!
