Eat Treacle Tarts And Drink Butterbeer Like Harry Potter

Amazon's al Dente blog posted a few links to many Harry Potter themed recipes. Too cute and cool for your everyday Harry Potter fan! I've always imagined butterbeer to taste like butterscotch for some reason. Here's my chance to try it for myself!

Butterbeer -

3/4 cup of rootbeer 2 tablespoons of butter.

Take a mug and fill it 3/4 full with rootbeer. Scoop 2 tablespoons of butter into the mug and microwave on high for about 1 minute.

or for something more alcoholic,

Makes 2 quarts.

1 cup butterscotch schnapps
7 cups cream soda (almost one 2 liter bottle)

Carefully mix just before serving, adding the schnapps to the soda then stirring gently to mix well, or the fizz will dissipate too soon.

Sanrio Boutique For The Adult Female

Hello Kitty is omnipresent. You can find products sold almost everywhere, and almost every product has a Hello Kitty version. I'm sure you've seen the crystal or diamond embellished jewelry ridiculously priced from places like Neiman Marcus. It turns out Sanrio has an exclusive brand called Momoberry that targets a more well-off Hello Kitty fan.

Here's the description from the Sanrio site:

Momoberry is Sanrio’s boutique brand - featuring upscale lifestyle products for the adult female consumer, bringing her sophisticated fun and fashion. Momoberry originated in 2006 based on the idea that grown-up Sanrio fans wanted a unique range of premiere products. Products include exclusive, limited edition items, such as jewelry, tees, cashmere and handbags.

Currently you can find Momoberry at the Beverly Center Mall in Los Angeles, CA or in Tokyo, Japan at two Sanrio flagship locations.

To be honest, I'm not sure I'd want to spend an large amount of money on a Sanrio-branded item. I just don't have that kind of dispensable cash lying around. But it's not going to stop me from stopping by the Beverly Center to check it out one of these days.

Kitty Kamera

A couple of things about me: I like cameras, and I really like Lomos. And I'm not too fond of cats. I'm willing to overlook the latter when it comes to this cute Holga K202 Cat Camera! Apparently, when you press the shutter a cat sound plays and the LEDs begin to flash. I could only imagine what kind of cute reactions can be caught on film when the subject (cat) hears a "meow" come from the plastic apparatus before them and is then mesmerized by a bunch of blinking lights. Another plus: it's a Holga. I've always wanted a Holga! I hope they come out with a dog version! ^_^ Say cheese! *meow* *click*!
