Okay, so apparently Patrick and Stassi are still on, but....

1. Wake up with Taylor has a new website! www.wakeupwithtay.com

2. Make sure you visit the website for recaps, Kenny's shows and MUCH MORE!

3. Who is still watching VanderPump Rules? I'm pretty sure I vowed to stop watching a season or two ago, yet I can't stop. :) Jax has just gotten sooooo much less hot over the years. James - blech. And Lala may look pretty in the night, but have you seen her in the daytime? Both James and Lala look over-tanned. Tanning is not "in" anymore!

My Fat Kid Friday suggestion...

Whether or not it gets chosen as a "winner" on Wake Up, I still think it's an awesome idea for any of you to try! It may be hard for the Fun Kids to execute on the show.

Have you ever heard of a miracle berry or a flavor trippin' party? Sooo fun! I did this with my neighbors. We didn't tell them anything about it ahead of time, we just asked them to bring things like pickles, guinness, lemons/limes, etc. To throw them WAY off, we asked them to bring an adult diaper too. LOL They were a little nervous about what we were cooking up for them! :)

When they all were there, we showed them everything that we had out on our counter (food suggestions below) and they made a guess or two about what we were doing. Then we took the berries out of the freezer and gave one to each person. We explained what the berries and all of the odd foods were for... and everyone participated! They have been talking about the party ever since. That was our first time, as the hosts, too... so we weren't sure of the outcome either. Loved it.

Here is more information....

Host a Flavor Trippin' Party!

Flavor Trippin' parties are a fun and unique idea for your next get-together.

I would start off by ordering 1 or 2 berries per person. It is important to coordinate the delivery of the berries with the date of the party. The berries will need to stay frozen until it is time for the party. They will be shipped in a freezer pack, but need to be quickly transferred to your freezer to maintain the quality of the berry. For less hassle, miracle berries can be purchased in pill form. (info below on where you can buy them)


For the party, you will want to shop for foods that are sour or bitter, which should end up tasting like candy when the berry is in effect. You may want to consider keeping the theme of the party a surprise to your guests - just tell them what you want them to bring, but no other details. One person could bring pickles, another lemons and limes, etc. The mystery will drive them crazy, especially with the foods/beverages you ask them to bring.

1. Lemon – taste very sweet almost like lemonade.
2. Tomato – tastes very sweet like a sharon fruit – answers the question “Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?” Now we can taste it is a fruit !
3. Lime – really really sweet – like drinking lime cordial.
4. Orange – too sweet – also depends on the variety of orange, clementines are much sweeter but tangerines taste just a little sweeter, ruby red oranges are delicious.
5. Tabasco Sauce – delicious, but don’t eat too much !
6. Goats Cheese – tastes like icing sugar or as Americans call it “frosting”.
7. Vinegar – tastes Like treacle.
8. Anything Pickled like gherkins, pickled onions taste like candy.
9. Salt and Vinegar Crisps – tastes like chinese sweet and sour.
10. Guinness – tastes like chocolate milk shake, other bitters taste chocolately.
11. Blue Cheese – tastes very creamy.
12. Grapefruit – very sweet you can’t stop eating them !
13. Granny Smiths Apple or cooking apple – tastes much sweeter.
14. Strawberry – the hint of bitterness they usually have is gone and they taste like sugar coated strawberry.
15. Broccoli – much more bearable – George Bush should try it after eating the miracle berry, then he’ll soon change his mind !
16. Pizza with tomato topping – depends on the other toppings but the tomato makes the whole pizza sweet.
17. Cottage cheese taste like a creamy cake filling.
18. Cherries – taste like glace cherries / glazed cherries.
19. Cream Cheese – tastes like cheesecake.
20. Kiwi Fruit – the tang has gone and it tastes sweeter and more delicious.

The altered flavor lasts for around a half hour, though some find it can last longer. Some others may need to two or more to achieve the effect, but this is not common.

Contact me if you want to coordinate a party for you and your friends. I can help you out with coordinating the details and getting the berries to you in time for your party. Or you can click on the ad below, which will bring you right to where you can purchase them. You can even buy a tree if you want.

Wake Up! with Taylor Recap - Thursday, 3/11/2010

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Victoria was out again for this show. She is sick, apparently with a sore throat.

7 things you need to know before you go

1. Dragon Force is looking for a new singer. Smashing Pumpkins is looking for a new keyboard and bass player.
2. Beacon, NY is having a pub crawl.
3. A man married his pillow in Korea.
4. The son of Real Housewives of Atlanta, NeNe Leakes, was arrested for possession of marijuana.
5. Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler have been photographed by the same photographer and magazine that caused a stir when Brad and Angelina appeared. 
6. Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart finally named their baby girl, Billie Beatrice.
7. Wall Street 2 will be put off for a while, until around September 24. It will focus on the recent financial crisis.

Kenny didn't do the 9am ET "7 Things..." and when someone called in about it and was short with him, it set him off in a bad mood. Both Taylor and Kenny were in a Facebook funk, which they called Facebook depression. Kenny wanted Taylor to get in a better mood because it keeps him in a good mood.

Kenny's question corner: What do girls talk about when talking about guys' penises?

Worse or Worser: Would you rather be a Gold Digger or a Star F'er?

They talked a lot about being a Gold Digger. 

Wake Up! with Taylor Recap - 3/9/10

Victoria was not part of today's show.

Early in the show they had a No He Didn't in response to Brett's opinions of the Marriage Ref. Taylor and Brett disagree about the times when it is inappropriate to not wear a wedding ring in public.

The April issue of Cosmo is out on news stands. Lady Gaga is the cover girl. Taylor talked about how much she is a powerful woman and someone to look up to. (I, for one, am still trying to figure this chick[?] out.)

They received a Don't Do It Gal via email. Queue "Reading Rainbow" music since Taylor had not read the email over before going on air with it.

(I hope I recap this right... but you'll get the jist) Chicky-poo moved away with a guy, against her friends' recommendations. She and this guy only has seen each other for a couple weeks. There was never any "p in the v" action. She cheated on this guy with a guy who later ended up being her husband. The old guy, after many years, got back in touch with her and asked if they could meet up. Both of them have been married, so she didn't see any harm in it. 10 minutes into hanging with him, he basically professed his love for her and how he missed out. He whispered in her ear about how he loved her at that angle and followed her home and kissed her on her neck. She wants to know if she tells her husband or not because this guy is going to be in town for work for some time. They are bound to run into each other. Kenny and Taylor thought she definitely needs to tell him, but they spent a lot of time contemplating how she should tell him... and which details to divulge. They played Kanye West's Big Ego a few times while getting through this story.

They spoke with Smile Tone. Apparently he is a YouTube sensation... he sure was hilarious with his crazy stories. But I couldn't find him online. Sorry. They discussed Lady Gaga with him. (please correct me if I have his name wrong or if you have any info on him)

Taylor had her Almost Hitched Bitch segment today. She first asked Kenny if she could have his Save the Date back to give to someone else, as they ran out of them. She has gotten her dress. She just about has the caterer. She has the house for her family. She has not planned her bachelorette party yet. She figured out that Brett's bachelor party is potentially the same weekend as Cosmo's bikini bash in Vegas. She had an evil laugh, as she just didn't have a choice but to be there as the same time as his bachelor party. He wasn't too happy. Taylor would rather just have a one-night party, but she feels she has to compete with Brett since he's going to have a whole weekend in Vegas.

Tomorrow He Said, She Said will be on at 1pm ET with Kenny and Victoria.
