Kate's Hideous Outfits

No posts this past week, because I've been having an anemia issue (a good excuse) and a work stress issue (a bad excuse). Anyway, that's legitimately meant limited exercise, and not-so-legitimately meant eating an entire pan of brownies.

We'll start again tomorrow.

Since I'm feeling all gross, I thought I'd bring you Kate Outfits I Hate. (Gasp!) Yes, they do exist! Here we go:

There's so much wrong with this. The fabric looks like it was from the 90% off bin at Joanne's, and the hat looks like a tea cozy.

This was a big ol' state dinner disappointment. Is this really Alexander McQueen? It looks like Sarah Burton designed the bust, then left a group of 4th grade girls to design the rest.

Points for the parasol and the color, but I just want to attack the top with safety pins to make it fit better. Also, she seems to like those weird ill-fitting button tops on dresses. Why, Kate? Why?!

I feel like Camilla picked this one out. Kate, you're in your early thirties! C'mon now!

This pattern was inspired by bathroom wallpaper from the 80's. And the neckline looks like a rolled up bath towel.

The frayed hems of this coat make me want to take a pair of scissors to it. But I do love the hat.

Her biggest disaster to date. She literally borrowed this from her mom. It's so big and ill-fitting, she could probably get Pippa in the top with her.

Love the skirt, love the shoes, but girl, we gotta have a talk about that top.

Points on color, but that's about it. I seriously had this same dress when I was in elementary school. The sleeves and collar and buttons are just blech.

She looks like a receptionist at a small town dental office. (No offense to receptionists at small town dental offices.)

Even Kate seems upset with this hot mess of an outfit.

It's okay though, Kate, you're still fabulous.

Freezer Meal #2 - Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples

This is the second part of my foray in to freezer meals - the first part can be found here for Cheesy Shells and Italian Sausage. Today we're making a pork and apples recipe adapted from The Pampered Chef. I love this one--it's so easy to assemble in advance, most of the ingredients you likely already have, and it couldn't be easier to fix the day you want to eat it (dump stuff in pan, bake). So yummy. And pretty. Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples For this you'll need the ingredients below. You probably have the oil, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, mustard, and bags in your pantry! You can also easily divide this recipe if you usually only cook for 2-3 people at a time (that's what I do when I make it). 2 pork tenderloins , about 2 pounds total - they can be expensive, so pick these up on sale 3 apples - I prefer honeycrisp but use what you like, or take one of these suggestions 1 small red onion 1/4 cup canola oil 1 clove garlic , pressed o

New Year, Old Me

And, after a brief 5 year hiatus, we're back! For those of you who are new here, for a number of years I wrote a blog featuring an assortment of things I found interesting: the British Royal Family, sarcastic hot takes on award show fashion, travel, and (the reason I started it) to help me keep stay on track with eating healthier food. Recently, one of my doctors suggested that I start the blog back up and I thought it was a good idea for a few reasons: chief among them to help with some health goals, plus I'd like to use it as a way to stay connected with some colleagues that departed at work. By way of an understatement, 2023 was a smidge rough. My dad got really sick in April, and after that, it was a slalom of the American healthcare system / in-home healthcare / nursing facilities / ambiguous loss & living grief . Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the company I work for turned 24 and, well, sometimes 24 year old companies behave like 24 year old humans. They're fun

Kate Middleton, Goofball

My new favorite K-Middy gif came out today. She and William went for a walk during their day off in Australia, and she totally did this: Big Willy and Babykins (their nicknames for each other) have talked about Kate's sense of humor before in interviews. Apparently she's funny and sarcastic--now we're more than just hair soul mates! Below are some of my favorite non-posed Kate pics. They're probably watching horses. So British of them. This is at the Olympics. She seems concerned. I'd also like to point out that I'm jealous of how good her ponytail looks. It sounds like she's saying "OMG no way!" Man, I hope that's what she's talking about with the fancy church people at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee service. Again, I suspect ponies are involved here. If you watch interviews with her (and I do) she makes this face all the time. I LOVE IT. Celebrities: they're just like us! They hide behind their
