I’m a grown up girl, so yes I do drink alcohol now and then, less now than I used to though. This summer I found something that I had missed a lot from Epcot in Disney World, frozen margaritas! They used to sell them in the Mexican pavilion there, and it was always our first stop when “drinking around the world”. I had been thinking a lot about it, so I told to my friend Liz who went to bartender school about it. She told me that you can buy bags with a powder in them, add tequila and water and then freeze it. When you take it out of the freezer the next day you have frozen margaritas in a bag. Genius!! So I actually found these bags at a store in my town and made frozen margaritas for a veranda party we had this summer. They are exactly as I remember them from Epcot! And I can drink a lot of them without getting sick or too drunk. So now I have 3 bags standing on top of my fridge waiting for the next parties they would be convenient to bring.

I like: Pocky!!
I seriously love the Japanese candy Pocky. It's thin bread sticks with a dark chocolate cover. In the US I found these everywhere, but here in Norway I can only find them in one store chain, Outland. (I also found it in this Japanese themed store in the mall Arkaden in Oslo, but that's the only exception I know.
I don't think I can really explain how good it tastes. You just have to try it for yourself.

HungryGirl
I have done a big life change this year. I decided to loose weight, and I did. 15 kg/33 pounds. And I did it the boring way, changing my diet and starting exercising. But that's not the point of this post.
I have found a very cool food site, that have helped me a lot when it comes to food ideas. It's called Hungry Girl, and it has all kinds of neat stuff. The main thing about Hungry Girl is low calorie food that also taste good. They test all kinds of products and recipes with low calories and fat, and post them on their website, and on the daily newsletter you can get straight to your mail. And if you follow the Weight Watchers program all the recipes have WW points or whatever they call it.
As I have mentioned before I'm not that fond of cooking. I'm not especially good at it, though I can most often follow a detailed recipe, and I have no imagination. So I very often get food-bored as I call it. Tired of the same food I always cook. So this site is a treasure when it comes to ideas.

Geeky Recipes by @justjenndesigns
I saw someone tweeting about this site today and I just needed to share.
I don't like cooking or baking of any kind. I find it boring, and I'm not especially good at it. But this site might change my mind about the boring part.
justJENN recipes - The geeky section

She makes geeky food! It's fantastic! You have no idea how excited this makes me. Making food fun to make is not a thing I'm good at. But I will definitely try this with enthusiasm:
How cool is that?!
Her site has all the recipes you could want. And not only geeky stuff either. She has other categories too, like Hello Kitty (going to tip my cousin about that one). And she makes a lot of cup cakes!
I especially loved the Iron Man mini pizzas though.
To make these recipes work, you apparently need cookie cutters. And justJENN of course tells us where to get them:
I checked, and they do ship to Norway. So I know what I'm getting myself for X-mas! Or before that....whenever I get the money for it.
