Muffin Tops

Making the CupCake Sliders all I could think of about were the muffin tops and this episode of Seinfeld. The difference w/me and Elaine is I will find a home for those muffin stomps.

Cupcake Sliders

just finished making Cupcake Sliders (their mini cupcakes cheeseburger style) on 12seconds.tv

Cutting the muffin tops off of what will be the buns

Just took the "burgers" off the grill (oven)

Through the power of some colored icing

Cupcake Sliders

Once again through the power of Twitter I saw a twitpic of these cupcakes and knew I had to try and make it. They are a little time consuming but are easy to make. It helped that I found a site that had step by step how to do it. (If your curious or want to make them click HERE)

I enjoy making my own creations but this was too good to pass up.

Fun w/Mac Photobooth

Day at IKEA

Cannot walk into IKEA with enjoying the 50 cent HotDogs!

Needed more of an Alan

I am a Viking looking for Swedish Meatballs!

Even if it is coated to protect germs- I'm using my foot

Anyone need material like a bulldog- Jupi..

Can't leave IKEA w/o an Ice Cream Cone and maybe some Cinnamon Buns for the next day.

OK now remember the Ice Cone above, you are about to see it die:

So sad today, Bella had dropped her 1st ice cream cone @IKEAOrlando on 12seconds.tv

My poor little girl had her 1st cream cone and it died.

You know I love National ..... Day!

This is great site I found out about it on twitter. I follow @Foodimentary + everyday they tell me what today is. Like today is March 6th is National Frozen Food Day or National White Chocolate Cheesecake Day.

Check it out: Click HERE I like looking to see what my birthday is and what other big days National food day it is... What is yours?

Would you get a celebrity ink?

Found this one online on the USA Today

I met this guy at a UCF Football game. Ironically he is related to our friend Jenn Pickard.

I was intruduced to Hulk Hogan at Tijuana Flats

I love seeing people with cool tattoos. It doesn't help that I love watching LA Ink and I have been wanting a TV. Granted if I got a tattoo I would not get a celebrity on me.

2010 Orlando Beer Olympics

Here are some pictures of the 2010 Orlando Beer Olympics I took part of with Tony, Cortni, and Ali and coached by Rob. We were called Team Balls & Dolls. We competed in Redneck Cornhole, FlipCup, Quarters, and Beer Pong.

As you can see in the pics- lots of fun teams and good times had by all.

We met some really fun people. The video's below are from couple from Russia. She is visiting her man here in Orlando. They are both from (Mother) Russia!

Orlando Beer Olympics: USA vs Mother Russia Flip Cup style on 12seconds.tv


Mother Russia loves me. Anyone know what he is saying? on 12seconds.tv

So how did we do?

We swept everyone in FlipCup- 12-0 (we played more games after we already won our event).

We played one game of BeerPong and lost- was fun but We'd rather play FlipCup.

We tied point wise in Redneck Cornhole

We tied in quarters; 2-2

It was great meeting and hanging out with everyone. Seemed like everyone had a fun time. If anyone participated and has pictures they want to share or anything leave a comment.

Curling Baby!!!

Not sure why but I can't stop watching Curling. I never seen in previous Olympics but I am digging it. It would be like watching Bocce ball in the Summer Olympics. As most of you know I enjoy odd sports so this is up there. Kind of like frozen Shuffleboard. Slide that Stone baby!

LOTI

So one of my things to start in 2010 is I am campaigning for people to start using LOTI when they actually put LOL when they email or IM someone after they said something funny. LOI is commonly used, but if you are not using LOI or LOTI then I think it's time for you to start.

You know I am not the only one who feels this way. Check out this article recently posted in the Maroon News: Article

So just think about it. Do you really LOL? Or Are you Laughing on the Inside instead. Use LOTI

My weekend in pictures

Lent

So for Lent I wanted to give up 2 things. One that will make me a better person and the other something I like and would be a sacrifice.

So I am giving up Swearing and Facebook.

With Bella repeating everything we say and with it not being a good thing to do. I thought in order to see how bad I am with it- We have a virtual Swear Jar. I will keep tabs of my swearing and pay $ every time. Not sure where the $ will go (probably Bella's saving account) but I hope it helps me out in the end and I can improve on it by the time UCF Football Season starts.

The other thing I gave up was Facebook. I know those who follow or are friends with me may see things show up on Facebook- that's because some things I post on twitter are sync'd to post on Facebook as well as other sites. I wanted to give up something Social Media related but not Twitter, so Facebook you lose.

Should be interesting to see how both will change me in the next 40 days. Maybe I will post more on Biggieville or just more tweets. (BTW- you can read my tweets on the side of my site).

Either way you may see more post her and at UCFCouple.com

Jupiter dancing to Outkast

My dog Jupiter likes to get down to Outkast! on 12seconds.tv

Carryout

Everytime I hear this song I just imagine Timberland hitting a glass a water with a fork making this beat.

Long time no post....

I'm coming back......Biggieville.com

So my Friends Brian & Jenn started updating their blog (ThePickardsinNYC) and I thought I should start posting some more too. I use Twitter to share my thoughts, however it all started with Blogger and as you will read in my next posts about Lent you will see why my blog and our UCFCouple.com will be important the next 40+ days.

O yeah I'm growing an Alan (what I call a Beard- thanks to Alan from The Hangover) What do you think?

Some fun Biggie Videos

Bella and Santa

Amazing how times change. Check out Bella in 2008 and look at her now. Granted we were with the real Santa in '08 (Hear Millenia flies Santa in from the S Pole) This year we were concerned with how she would react with him so we decided to go to the Oviedo Mall. The Santa sucked and his Photo taking Elf cut me off when I tried to do a 1hander w/Chris Cringel.

Please vote for my little girl!

Bella is competing in Magic 107.7 Most Huggable Baby contest. Please click on Bella's picture and vote for her. Please spread the word. If she wins we get a nice getaway vacation!

My submission for a corporate video contest

A. Bencomo from Neva Video Productions on Vimeo.

So I am auditioning for a spot to be an actor for corporate videos.

They gave me the script to do. My director/producer decided to go with me playing both parts. Could have made it funnier (one of the characters was suppose to be a girl).

What do you think. I can at least say I took a shot at it.

Happy Father's Day!

I have been celebrating Father's Day for a few years, however this year is really special. This time my little one is here and not in heaven. I am truly blessed in having 2 wonderful gils and a great wife. I am also glad I have a great dad in my life. He is enjoying my fatherhood as much as I am.


Happy Father's Day to all father out!

Father's Day Grilling

Enjoying the Beautiful Grill Sound! on 12seconds.tv


ever break into song while grilling? I did. Each Ribeye was 1lb 5 oz. Justed added pepper grilled. on 12seconds.tv





As a Father's Day treat we went to Bob's Market and got some Ribeye. So good. Could have cooked it a little bit longer, but it was so soft and tender that it did not matter. I was the only one to finish my steak so the left overs will be used for Steak+Eggs Sandwiches!!

Construction Monster

How would you like to be driving and seeing this awesomely built Construction Monster looking for a lift.?

Amazing what people come up with and do. Granted the guy who made this got arrested but still very impressive.

Here is the article concerning the Construction Monster. Click here

Boston: My Time at Fenway

I have been to Boston many times in the past 8 years and I have watched a game at Game On! during a Sox game. I have done a tour of Fenway, but never been to a game at Fenway. I had such a great time even though the Sox lost to the Rangers.
I met and felt like a celeb with my Korean Friends who were visiting the US for 8 weeks. We met an usher, Rodulfo who has been w/ the Sox for over 3o years and has a Sox World Championship Ring.

Drank some beers and had a great time with my friend Rich!

Fenway Park June 5th 2009

Boston runs on Dunkin' Donuts

Dunkin' Donuts must own Boston cause they are everywhere. I tried looking up how may DD are in Massachusetts has about 490 Dunkin' Donut franchises. I had one everyday and I would rather drink DD then Starbucks.

it became comical on how many we saw. Here are a few that we took pics of:

Boston: Johnny Cupcake's

I do not know why but one of the things I wanted to do while in Boston aside from seeing my friends and going to watch the Sox play @ Fenway. I had head about Johnny Cupcakes and thought the shirts were cool. I actually thought that they sold cupcakes too. I went to their Newberry St store, just to go in and walked out 2 shirts from their Bake Sale section. Now I think I am hooked on them. Don't see myself paying full price but maybe any that come up in the Bake Sale section.

Can't get enough of this site.

Found this site and can't stop playing with it. Has all these effects you can upload a picture and puts them into these cool things. Very cool stuff.
