It’s absolutely gorgeous outside in San Diego today. 77F, sunny, not a cloud in the sky.
And my usual barely-have-enough-light other than from 11:17am to 12:53pm kitchen has had more then plenty today.
Everything I took a picture of was shiny and reflecting like crazy. The pears in the 50 cent wooden bowl I picked up here were like reflective globes.
The bowl was a steal.
High voltage pears not included.
I made something with these special edition shiny wrappered 3 Musketeers mini bars. These 3 Musketeers are marshmallow-filled rather than the typical nougat filling.
And now my dessert is filled with these.
What I made is delicious, but I have these shiny Caramel and Chocolate Gooey Bars (GF with Vegan adaptation) on my brain.
And I took pictures of something else that’s extremely shiny.
It’s red, it stands up, it helps mix things, and it comes in one of these boxes.
I have a big, super shiny, happy post coming up and you all are going to love it!
What’s been shiny for you lately?
A shiny day and sunny weather? Any spiffy, shiny new recipes? A shiny new outfit for spring?
Those bars look so delicious!!!!
Oooh how I covet a red ka mixer! I love my food processor, it need as sibling, haha.
As for what’s shiny in my life? Nothing literally, but the discovery of Skype dates with my friends who live far away has been a happy thing
I saw those 3 musketeers tonight at the store and instantly thought of you. ;) I love the regular ones, how are these?
The sun was out all day and I am giving my last lecture of the semester for one of my classes tomorrow. Its not shiny, but it makes me happy still!
They’re fabulous. Better than the original. It was random I even saw them b/c I was shopping for Easter bunny candy for Skylar, just something really small…and saw those and HAD to get them!
Hi Averie,
It’s alwayYs a pleasure to open my e-mail and see and new blog post from you. Love the pictures and the upbeat things you have to say. You are a bright spot in my day.
Omg THANK YOU for this comment! Seriously, that is soooo sweet. You just made my night!
Shiny for me is the sun! It finally made an appearance today!! Love the mixer. I have one, but it’s to small! I’m asking for a bigger one for Christmas next year.
Santa is coming to my blog…
Shiny things make me happy :-) Haven’t seen anything shiny lately, but the Big Apple will have a lot to catch my eye!
Have fun on your trip!!
Oh my goodness, those caramel-chocolate bars look amazing! I’m going to have to try the vegan version some day soon.
I am impressed that you welcome warm weather so enthusiastically. I don’t really like temperatures above about 40, so I haven’t been too pleased with our recent 70/80 degree weather. Oh well….
I love it warm, anything under 90F is fine. Over that, I need A/C.
Have fun with the gooey bars!
no shiny weather here today…it was actually more of a cloudy rainy day with 5 tornadoes in the area! but it certainly is nice to see photos of some shiny weather! :)
I’m going to need to find some of those 3 musketeer marshmallow bars. Look so yum!
Yikes on the 5 tornadoes!
It wasn’t QUITE that sunny out today – little peeks here and there!
No shiny weather here in NY lately. So I’ll just continue coming to your blog every day for a picture of a sunny blue sky!
PS, I can’t wait to find the limited edition 3 Musketeers! I used to eat 3 Musketeers all the time in high school.
They’re even better than the original!
Sounds like perfect weather – and perfect lighting. Our rain sort of made things shiny by cleaning off the pollen.
It’s been pollen city here. I am a walking sneeze attack!
Cheers to the beautiful weather!! I spent the morning at the Carlsbad Flower Fields and had a perfectly lovely day. Here’s hoping the grey stays away!
I always forget you’re local! Glad you enjoyed those fields. My friend Marla and I meet in that area all the time.
Ahh–sunshine and warmth! The day started off gray but turned gorgeous ( it was about 77 here too). I would sooo love to have a kitchen aid. Every time I use my 25 year old Sunbeam mixmaster I secretly hope it will conk out so I can get a new one!
Santa is coming to my blog :)
i need to find those 3 muskateer bars! haven’t seen ’em yet. today was a beautiful, sunshine-y day in baltimore today! i made homemade honey roasted peanut butter today and dipped a super shiny red apple in it. :)
I love honey roasted PB! There’s a store-brand honey roasted PB that I buy at Ralph’s (Kroger/Safeway). Huge jar for very cheap…and it’s my go-to PB for baking. I bet yours is incredible!
oh girl we FINALLY have sun, and I mean sun for more than one day!
i was in p-town all day soaking it up and taking pictures.
a day off from baking….
felt good.
now i’m home surfing the web for whatever. LOL

My wedding ring was just cleaned and it is super sparkly right now!!!
