I’m sorry, I can’t help you there. Social networking still confuses me. All I know is this: If you bring yummy food, you’re bound to make many friends!
The other night, I trekked to a friend’s house to watch The Social Network. And I brought along… a Christmas recipe? 😕
Gingerbread Cookie Dough Balls
Didn’t I tell you I’d be eating these on the beach in July? You didn’t believe me?
Everyone loved the Gingerbread Balls.
And I loved the movie! (Where’s the facebook “like” button when ya need it?) I especially liked Jesse Eisenberg (who plays Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg) and his fast-paced talking. Plus, Eduardo? Really, really cute!
Supposedly, some of the story is fiction. But it was a good movie regardless: well-acted and defining of our generation. It’s hard to imagine that a few years ago, no one knew what facebook was!
Blog Updates:
1. The chocolate-covered blogroll will go up this week.
2. I spruced up the page, with photos! Check it out: My new Recipe Page!
Remember a time before the internet?
And do you remember–horror of horrors– dial up?
When you couldn’t be on the internet and the phone at the same time? When it took like 20 minutes just to get into your email account and hear, “You’ve got mail”? Now I get frustrated if it takes a minute to get into the internet!
That movie sounds funny!
Oh by the way, is it too late to say that I would love to be on the blogroll? 🙂
Of course, sweetie! Can you leave a comment on the other post? I don’t want to forget later when I go to do finish adding names!
Those look great i love gingerbread!! I also loved that movie…. it is crazy to think how much time people spend on the dang computer these days! Remember when we had to use encyclopedias??? Now we have google!
How did you get your gingerbread balls to look so swirly? I’ve been trying to figure out what the lighter swirls are… ground ginger? They look seriously delish!
Hi Sukee, did you click on the link for the recipe? There’s peanut butter in the balls :).
I did click on the recipe, and the balls pictured there were so much more uniform in color that I thought you must have done something different here. So it’s the peanut butter… only mixed until it is all swirly and pretty. Gotcha.
Oooo I see hehe :). Yeah, I just didn’t mix as well this time. I was lazy ;).
those balls look awesome love the swirls soo pretty!
Can you come to my movie nights?!!? And I too loved the movie – great acting, great plot, and just well-made. I’m excited about all the additions/changes to your blog! Have a great day!
Once I can have pb again, I will be making those for sure!
I’m still trying to figure out the whole social networking thing too. I remember when my best friend came over in high school to learn how to use the internet. Back when Prodigy was a big thing…anyone else remember that?
Love these delicious looking treats! And the recipe page is fabulous.
LOL maybe I was too young. I don’t even know what Prodigy is!
Love the new recipe page – fantastic photos! 😀
hahah I thought it was such an usual title for a post from you Katie! phew, thank God you haven’t changed one bit 😉
ps I missed those balls when you first posted them but they look amazing! I made Coffee Date balls yesterday and I cant keep my hands of off ’em 😉
Mmmm those sound yummy!
Haha, yes, I do remember the days before internet and I still cringe a little when I hear a dial-up modem, LOL.
I am going to borrow your Gingerbread cookie ball recipe on July 3rd when I honor my kitty, Gingerbread, that I lost last year. July 3rd, his birthday, is now Gingerbread Day on my blog. 🙂
Aww Jenn, that is SO sweet. So so sweet. Why do I not do that for my doggie, whom I loved for 15 years? Never too late to start, right? ‘Course, his name was Harris, so I can’t exactly make him gingerbread ;).
Dial up feels like FOREVER ago! But I’m not going to lie… my parents still use AOL. Now that sounds ancient.
ohmygosh….I have wanted to watch this movie!!! I’m glad you say it is good because I will now rent it!
Oh god, I had dial up for about 2 years after all my other friends got high-speed and it was the worst!
P.S. Eduardo is playing Spiderman in the new reboot!
Ack. Must see!
It’s crazy how fast the world changes and upgrades. I don’t mind it though, I like to do things fast fast fast 🙂
OMG I LOVED that movie!!!!!! And I actually think about what life was like without the internet quite a bit… and how much slower everything seemed… I can’t IMAGINE doing college-level work without the ease of looking things up online…
And oh lordy.. the days of dialup. Who knew things could be so fast now?!
