A Sprinkled VLOG Debut.

Yes, I absolutely went there.

But before I get to that…

I had a long day yesterday! I had a meeting in the morning, then that long presentation during my afternoon class. I don’t think it went too bad, but yea…I don’t do presentations well. I get nervous, lose my place, trip over my words…definitely one of those life skills I need to work on.

Fortunately, when I got home dinner was already made for me thanks to this lovely thing:

The slow cooker I got for my birthday! I finally broke it out.

When I was making my meal plan for the week, I noticed that pork side ribs were on sale at the grocery store. Ribs are Eric’s favourite (next to poutine, of course) so I was going for major girlfriend points.

In the morning, I rubbed the ribs with salt, pepper, roasted garlic, chile powder and cumin.

I tossed it in the slow cooker with a sliced onion and set it to low. I let it cook at home while I went about my day.

After about 7 1/2 hours, I dipped the ribs in BBQ sauce, and threw them back in for another hour.

I’m not a huge rib fan (I could take them or leave them, really) but these were so good. Flavourful and absolutely fall-off-the-bone.

Served with a simple green salad on the side. Dinner was on the small side because I was saving room:

Seemed like a froyo night to me (and yes, I add so many toppings you can’t see the actual yogurt underneath). Yogurty’s had had Pumpkin Spice flavour available for a while, so I wanted to grab it while it was still there.

So this had:

a mix of Pumpkin Spice and Banana Split froyo
Reese’s Pieces
cheesecake bites
“fun bits” (kinda like nerds, or just really big sprinkles)
sprinkles (no surprise there)
Cinnamon Toast Crunch
yogurt-covered raisins
a few maraschino cherries
and Ghirardelli chocolate syrup (quite possibly this chocolate-lover’s favourite part. So good)

It made me happy. Although, I was slightly depressed that they didn’t have iced animal crackers anymore – those things were amazing.

And then I came home and filmed this little gem!

Sloane and Alex recently did accent VLOGS – I remember seeing them floating around the blogosphere a year or two ago, and I remember thinking they were so interesting. So when they made a reappearance, of course I had to participate.
