Five Fun Things

AphukenbrakE, OMG I laugh more than I should! That heart-shaped plant looks so fun. Thank you for sharing!

I just saw this article about the HQ Trivia App. Having read your blog for many years, I think that you will find the opinions and behavior of it’s founders and investors very offensive. My daughter and her friends have been playing the trivia game, but after reading this, I hope that she will delete the app.

“HQ’s founders, Rus Yusupov and Colin Kroll, apparently have a history of troubling behavior. Kroll had “earned a reputation while working at Vine for exhibiting ‘creepy’ behavior toward women that made them uncomfortable.
After every other major investor in Silicon Valley bailed on the app for its questionable money-making abilities and the allegedly creepy behavior of its founder, Trump supporter and megalomaniacal seasteader Peter Thiel decided this was something he very much wanted to be a part of. According to an article posted on Recode last night, Thiel’s venture capital firm, Founders Fund, is planning to give the app $15 million in its latest round of fundraising. Thiel also gave $1.25 million to Donald Trump’s campaign — after the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape, which saw our president discussing his passion for grabbing women “by the pussy.” And he recruited far-right troll Chuck Johnson “to recommend, vet and give something of a seal of approval to potential nominees from the so-called ‘alt-right’” to serve in the Trump administration, according to a report last year in Forbes. Evidence suggests their relationship may actually go back much further than that.

I am always looking for pretty plants I can’t kill, love the Hoya Heart. Thanks for sharing!

We often make breakfast burritos for dinner on Sunday nights. For fast potatoes we just plop good ole tater tots inside! Easy peasy and yum!

I am crying with laughter at the video. Genius…pure genius! Thanks for the comic relief this morning.

I love dinner for breakfast too, like leftover pizza. YUM.

I make these delicious scrambled eggs with truffle salt, they’d be perfect on a breakfast for dinner occasion – even better with a buttered, chunky piece of toasted sourdough. Here’s the recipe, for anyone interested: http://www.thislifeisbelle.com/home/2017/9/21/scrambled-eggs-truffle-salt It’s so easy!

We’ve been doing breakfast for dinner weekly lately. Our kids (6, 4, and 2) have become increasingly picky lately, and it’s a crowdpleaser and makes dinner a little less frustrating! We often do maple, apple, and pear baked oatmeal from Oh She Glows, or wholewheat pancakes with a fruit topping, plus eggs.

That video! : )
