Vampire Diaries

Ugh! Thursday is quickly approaching and Vampire Diaries Season Finale was last week. What's a Vampire Brat to do with out her weekly addiction to Damon Salvatore along with the rest of the show? When this show was first about to air I heard jokes like "what do you want to watch that for? It is 90210 with teeth" With all the jokes aside I thought what the heck, I will give it ago anyways. OH MY GOTH am I ever happy I did. Vamp. Diaries quickly became an obsession. Not so patiently waiting for next Thursday to come immediately after the end of a show. In between shows I began reading all the Novels as well as the side books based off the show The Stephen Diaries. 1st hand knowledge, though the books are good but, there are a night and day difference from the show itself. I would recommend reading them. 

Sadly now I have nothing to look forward to on Thursday Night's.. That is of course until Season 4 begins sometime in Sept. Which seems so far away. On the plus side I have this weekend with one of my beast ghoul friends to have a V.D. Marathon :o) I am trying to catch her up to date with the seasons. 

Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

OK to begin when I first heard about this book the title of it horrified me as well as had my eyes rolling with the drawn out sigh of OH BROTHER!  

However, the  book is an entertaining combination of history and fantasy. I was pleasantly surprised to admit I found little to fault. It was a well-written, very engaging, fast read. The author took real events and facts from Lincoln's life and wove in the vampire aspect nailing it like a coffin, which I found very interesting.

In fact, I was so intrigued with this story, I found it hard to put down. If you are looking for something fun to read and have the slightest interest in history as well as good writing….This is definitely the book to get  it is frightfully delightful.

Now only if it was true, it would make American History much more interesting and completely vamperific. 

Cookies to Die for

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup - Butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup light brown sugar

8oz. pkg. Cream Cheese, softened

1 tsp. Vanilla

1 large egg

2 1/4 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

2 cups mixed semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat over to 350F

2.  With an electric mixer cream butter and sugars until nice and creamy. Add cream cheese and continue to mix until all lumps are gone and it is nice and smooth. Add vanilla and egg and mix.

3. Slowly add flour, a little at a time. Add baking soda and salt and mix well, but not too much!

4. Turn off your mixer and add the chocolate chips, folding by hand with a rubber spatula.

5. Scoop cookie dough by the rounded tablespoon onto a cookie sheet; make sure they aren’t too close though!

6. Bake in your oven for 9-11 minutes, I do mine for 10.

7. Cool on a rack and once they are all the way cool put into a plastic bag or container and keep in the fridge!

    Since they have cream cheese in them you don’t want them to spoil!

This recipe yields approx. 3 dozen cookies 

Revival of a Blog

Has been dead "no pun intended" for much to long. It is time for me to get back into the swing of things and press forward with my creeperific blog. I had a personal family style blog, got caught up in that and sort of left this inches from falling into the great black void. YIKES!  However, I have decided to just bring my personal stuff with me to this one.  This way I can keep up with the Vampy stuff and who I really am all in one neat little package. All for your viewing displeasure. Leave it to me to come up with a killer idea lol.

As always Yours Cruelly,
