Katie Couric in Los Angeles

Went to see one of  Katie's "Hollywood Take over" shows over the weekend. She taped her shows in Jimmy Kimmel's studio and almost every seat is a good one. We went on Saturday morning and the guests were Will.i.am and Zooey Deschanel.



German Pancakes and Buttermilk Syrup

Christmas Breakfast

German Pancakes and Buttermilk "crack" syrup

In between attending shows, I sometimes make food. 

German Pancakes

6 eggs

1 cup milk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter

Buttermilk (or as I call it, "Crack") Syrup

1-1/2 cups sugar

3/4 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup butter

2 tablespoons corn syrup

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

confectioner's sugar

Place the eggs, milk, flour and salt in a blender; cover and process until smooth. Pour the butter into an ungreased 13 in x 9 in x 2 in baking dish; add the batter. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a sauce pan, combine the first 5 ingredients; bring to a boil. Boil for 7 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Dust pancake with confectioner's sugar; serve immediately with syrup. Yield: 8 servings (about 2 cups of syrup)

*My BFF makes this all the time and gave me the recipe. And I didn't even screw it up either :-) 

I'm dancing with Ellen!!!! O-M-G!!!

Talk Show HO in the hospital

NOTHING....I mean NOTHING can keep me away from going to see ellen today! All is good. They released me last night from the hospital. I honestly think that I got too excited about seeing her. lol 

Oh Ricki your so fine...

Finally got to see Ricki Lake after all these years! I remember watching her show in the early 90's when my kids were little. I always thought that it would be so much fun to be there in the audience. Fast forward almost 20 years and here I am! Must be making up for lost time! Haha.

Ricki Lake Show is now one of my top 5 shows to go to. Everyone was so nice and they made the audience feel welcomed. The set is small and intimate (looked to be about 150 seats if that), and I loved how Ricki interacted with the audience on AND off camera. She is so sweet and adorable and she seems so down to earth. I think we should be friends!!! (even though I got busted for having an "ellen" cell phone cover on my phone...hehe)

Check out The "Guys on the Couch" segment of this episode of the Jeff Probst show.

 I am asking my "sex question"! 

Ellen DeGeneres is a star! But we already knew that.

Went to see Ellen get her star on the Hollywood walk of fame yesterday in front on the W hotel in Hollywood. What a fun time! We had a great spot until all the media showed up and blocked a lot of our view. Oh well. We still had fun and I got some good shots.
