I’ve decide that Saturday isn’t just for the bloggers or posts I’ve loved all week, but for all the random things I want to share. I might want to remember this stuff someday, so I may as well throw it up on the blog.
Lucky you.
Let’s start with internet things…
Last week I finished up telling you about the blogs that show up in my Google Reader. I also have a list on facebook of blogs I like that I don’t want to miss. Some of the ones in my reader are also on this list, but here are some I haven’t mentioned yet that you should check out.
Mommy Shorts. Ilana cracks me the crap right up. I read almost every post she writes, but only comment sporadically. To be honest, I just can’t compete with her hilarity. Anything I would add would just be lame in comparison. But the funny part? She reminds me of my best friend in real life.
Mama’s Losin’ It! I love me some Mama Kat. She is funny, smart, funny. Funny gets me every time. I am fairly certain she is one of those bloggers I follow who doesn’t know me, but I am ok with that. Also? Her vlogs/videos are some of the only I will watch. So there’s that.
Sellabit Mum. Yeah, Tracy is not English or a nun. She is in Minnesota and she has kids. And don’t tell her, but I don’t “get” her blog title. But I love her. Her posts bounce between poignant and hilarious. Really. I never even know from the title whether I am going to be crying from laughter or empathy.
So yeah…go check those mommas out.

The other thing I was going to share with you today was a fricking delicious recipe for pork loin with a mustard sauce served with yellow squash and zucchini.
It was so yum.
But instead, just as I was going to make the mustard sauce–you know, the thing that ties the whole dish together? I grabbed the pan handle that had been in the oven.
Yeah. So that sucked.
Instead I will give you the recipe of Cort’s favorite cookie: The Snickerdoodle
I am not really sure why it’s called a “snickerdoodle” since there are neither snickers nor doodles, but hey, here we go…
Snickerdoodles
Disclosure: I did not make this recipe up, however I have no idea where it came from.
The Stuff You Need:
1 cup of butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups of flour
2 tsp of cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp of salt
2 Tbs of sugar
2 tsp of cinnamon
What You Do:
> Mix the butter, sugar, and eggs together.
> Stir in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
> Roll dough into small balls
> mix the 2 Tbs of sugar and 2 tsp of cinnamon together in a small bowl
> Roll the dough balls around in the mix
> Bake on an ungreased pan for 10 minutes at 375 degrees F
That’s it.
Then you hide half the batch from the husband so he won’t eat them all in one sitting.

Oh wait! One more share…
Happy Saturday, my peoples.
