Pepperidge Farms Tim Tams




I noticed the other day in the University convience store they sold Tim Tams made by Pepperidge Farm. Wow! I must try those someday since K&K rant and rave about them.

So, today is the day. (since I have a pretty crappy lunch) I trudged over to the store and picked up caramel Tim Tams. They also had chocolate creme Tim Tams. Which is the original Katia?


I don't have any liquer to do a Tim Tam slam here in the office.... but I can make a cup of tea...

brb. going to make tea!

back.. mm. tea..

opening the package.. wow. They are really caramelly smelling. Nice how they come individually separated.


Here we go.. Tim Tam Slam time! Let's see if I can do this without getting cookie all over my desk.

ok. Try 1: FAIL. I couldn't slurp anything up! Then the end of the cookie melted... and now i have chocolate caramel all over my desk. Maybe the American ones cannot perform the Tim Tam Slam? I bit off the corners.. but my mug is pretty shallow. I'll try biting both sides this time.

Very yummy cookie!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...

Try 2: SUCCESS!!!!

OMG. Simply.. Katia was right.. simply... orgasmic...

oh gawd. This is wonderful. YUMMMY.

Simply irresistible!

I love Tim Tams.

I feel so full from just 2 Tim Tams.

I love Tim Tams. That is all I have to say.

Episode 21 - the one where kyliemac nearly falls into the seine... and stuff...

Dear K&K,
It's the legal episode! Yum. Vodka and OJ.

That's hilarious that Kyliemac almost fell into the Seine. I could see it. "American catches typhoid from falling into the Seine".

Awww.. Kyliemac is making friends!

Snow. I love snow. But stupid Marylanders do not know how to drive in that stuff.

hahaha.. love that Kyliemac left her ball hat on in the movie theater! I have the same exact style of hat! I thought it was bubble too! It must be fun to go to the movies with Kyliemac. Yes, Katia's laugh is 'unbridled'.

MMM.. Craisons. I love them. yum yum. Kyliemac, where do you put your wallet if you don't carry a handbag? haha.. a Katia had a "Craison panic attack".

haha.. katia knows about chia pets b/c of Waynes World!

Tuesday, December 9, 2008

Episode 20 - the one where they become art critics... and stuff..

Dear K&K,
Yes, I am continuing the blog even after I didn't win the contest!
I have loved blogging these past couple of months, so I'm going to continue!

Heh. no coffee table studio yet!

Hahhaa.. love the farting person in the dear. I read something yesturday that farting helps regulate blood pressure.

The episode begins with Symphony getting involved by getting jealous.

Wait a second... I've been thinking Symphony getting on the mixer - Like as in A Cooking Mixer. A KitchenAid Mixer. A Mixer You Use to Make Cakes and Cookies.

OMG. I'm so stupid. It's a a mixer as in Sound Equipment.

Um. Duh. I've listened to all 200 episodes and I've Finally Realized This.

On with the program.

Ah yes.. I never see other people's scores when I was in school... well.. sometimes they were posted by last 4 Social Security digits, but my university stopped doing that. My calc teacher in high school would announce your grade when she handed your calc test back to you i.e. "Samantha you got a 98". If you failed, she would whisper the grade, but everybody could still hear your grade! Sounds like Kyliemac did well! After all.. she does have a License to Speak English right now.

Berets. I wore one for a time in high school. I thought it was cool. It came from the Gap.

Love looking at the paintings with dog poo! lol.ewwww!

wow, cool how shops and houses were on bridges. Lots of INTERESTINGS in this episode.

Well, if i ever go to that museum, I will make sure to look for the poop pictures.

Yea, postcard exchange! I wonder where my postcard is that K&K sent me.....

EPISODE 200 - the one where they go live for the first time, in Paris... and stuff...

Dear K&K,
Ok.. I have another live blog I wrote when I was watching the podcast on Sat, but it is on my computer at home... I'll have to upload it later.

Weee!!! Love hearing the crowd. I had a bit of a hard time listening to the live show, but it was great to see and hear the crowds.

Love the dear! I met sooooo many people chatting on the live K&K broadcast. I have so many twitter friends now. ;-)

Yes, I know how much Katia HATES the post office.mmm... buffalo wings. yum. I want buffalo wings...

Oh wow, I cannot believe you can see Notre Dame in the windows! wow.

Oooh. question time!

Steve == rhino75?

Nudity in France. lol. Yes! I remember K&K discussing the hemroid cream on the earlier episodes. I think nudity in advertising is ok.

Peeing in public is a CRIME. It is soooo gross. When I have to go, I don't go. I find a TOILET. Should be Equal Opportunity Peeing. Is peeing in public illegal in Paris?

OOOh. French men can say things that American men cannot get away with.

A stubby = beer... ok.. i totally thought it was something else. "Coming home to a man with a stubby". I got a really BAD IMAGE. lol.

Yes, I think the French men exudes confidence.

It is interesting to learn about Sarcozy & Bruni. Ewww.. I don't want to know about Lewinsky.

Line jumping, wrong! I hate it! When I'm in Taiwan, people line jump all the time.Someone tried to cut in front of me at JoAnn fabrics at the cutting station this past weekend! I was number 76 and number 77 cut in front of me! The lady at the cutting station refused to serve the cutter. Then the cutter left all in a huff puff. I only had 1 piece of fabric to cut! It took less than 2 minutes! I can't wait to hear the episode of "The one where Katia spits on someone who cuts in front of her in line... and stuff... "

Aww...lol. Symphony is on the mixer!

mmm... Breakfast in America... that sounds like a fun place!

Boo. I didn't win anything for contest #2! That's ok. This blog is soooooo fun. I'm going to continue it anyways!

One of these days I have to hear the muffin man!

Wait a minute. That is MY VOICE at the end! Holy crap! I'm right after TexasEspresso (LOVE HER!). I sound like a dork. lol. Why do I sound like I'm 12 years old?

Episode 200 was AWESOME! Congratulations!

Happy Birthday Katia's mum! Love all the meetups in Australia.

hahaha.. Katia punished a frenchman by hugging him!

What? The American ASS hug. OMG. lol. oh gawd. I am LAUGHING SO HARD.

ASS hugger. oh gawd. I am still laughing.

Animesh, the same thing happens to me when I visit family in Taiwan! The pollution is so heavy and the soot covers my face.

OMG. Arranged marriages in India!

30 is old to get married? I'm 29!

Love the India vs. Australia cricket match argument!

I hate the "How are you doing" people in the USA do too!!! In Taiwan, everybody asks "Have you eaten yet?".

Love Katia's dream about the parade.

Animesh learned about America from movies!! So did my mom. She learned it from soap operas... and she learned how to spell from the Price's is Right.

Plastic money. Yea, I think it is crazy not to pay the whole bill at the end of the month. If you don't have it, don't slap it on a credit card.

This episode is really interesting.. I like Animesh's conversation about India, US, and France.

Love the Hinglish. lol.

Kyliemac just said 'out' like a midwesterner! like OW-T.

I can't wait until Dec 6th!

I am so happy I got an explaination of a bumper.

Oooh! Meetups! I would love to meet someone who wants to meetup where I am!

YES! Another episode about the ER! cutting paper for origami? yes, cheating. I feel like Katia just yelled at me. A Stanley Knife? Cut her finger? OMG. I just gasped. Out Loud. My coworker looked at me funny. This is hilarious that Katia got advice from Twitter.

Hahhaa.. love how the doctor talked about onions. Katia's last doctor talked about Australia. lol.

I used a computer in the late 80's.

K&K talk about sex! lol.

Episode 195 - the one where they talk about hugs and kisses... and stuff...

Dear K&K,
Yea! Katia got an iPhone! Isn't it AWESOME?

Lights off in the bathroom of Starbucks? Katia, isn't the flashlight app AWESOME? It's helped me a tun of times! Like when when I had to work in the dark in Special Collection. Katia, did you know you can download episode of K&K right on the iPhone now? You used to have to hook up to your computer, but now it is direct download.

I would LOVE to see that K&K powerpoint presentation.

I love it when Katia says "the fire of a thousand suns"!!! She says it for mushrooms... and now powerpoint. I said it the other day.. "I hate Funyans with the fire of a thousand suns!".

Frog seems a huggy guy actually. "Crisp up". LOL. Sounds like a potato chip.

Bising.. that sounds so funny. I've been bised!!!! ewwwwww... sloppy kiss!!! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

When in France, you bise. lol.

I'm afraid of Freddy Kruger.

I wish I could participate in the spontaneous prize giving. ;-(

Episode 194 - the one where they talk about bookshops and armadillo attacks... and stuff...

Dear K&K,
Kissing is sooo intrusive! One of my fellow bridesmaids at my friends' wedding kissed me on the cheek after the reception. It was very strange.

Dear Muffin Man, Please come over to my house and teach my husband how to heat up a quiche.

YES! Love the GET OFF THE MIXER SYMPHONY. Then Kylie just continues as if nothing significant has happened.

I love bookstores. Sadly, the local bookstores are closing around me. Replaced with Barnes & Nobles and Borders.

Did Kyliemac go on a book signing marathon? YEP!

Supersecret location. lol. Supersecret plans.

I love how everybody seems to know everybody in Paris. I love the episode where Kyliemac's friend was sitting next to her other friend on the airplane back to America.

That's sad it is hard to get around if you are handicapped in Paris.

OOOh. I would love to hear a podcast about Paris supermarkets.

Poor Katia about moving around the city slowly. ;-( I wish I could guide Katia around the city and yell at all the mean people "stop sighing Bi(#*!".

Katia, why didn't you tell people you got attacked by a Kangaroo as the thing that injured your toe?

Tuesday, November 25, 2008

I'm sorry Danni. Dani is your name. I just looked at the K&K website.

Can go to Belgium for a day. Awesome. On no! Belgium let you down Dani? You should have gone to see my friend Anna!

ooh oooh! Dani brings treats! Hersheyworld! I've been to Hersheyworld! Hershey Park is like 45 minutes away from me!

OMG! Chocolates with fresh clementines. Sounds so fabulous.

The Belgians are the biggest consumers of Diet Coke? Wow!

Awww! Symphony got a treat! How cute!

I am getting hungry too! boo. Lunch is in 15 minutes! I think I might go and buy something for lunch.. instead of eating my lunch.

OMG! Live streaming of K&K on Dec 6th? FABULOUS!

Episode 192 - the one where they talk about saving the world... and stuff...

Dear K&K,
Let's see how many episode I can get through today readers! I've been SO BUSY.
Need happy K&K.

Why does Kylie sound like her mouth is full of M&M's in the beginning? Hi Danni! Why are we talking about Kylie Minogue's sister for 5 minutes? I love Kylie. Kylie must be an popular Aussie name.

Hi Danni again! Ooh ooh. I am called "Marylander". Someone the other day called me a "good local girl". heh. Everybody in Maryland is from somewhere else. We are commonly referred to as transplants b/c everybody ends up in MD working for the government or they are in the military.

uh oh. Zombies again? AHHH! Chased by zombies. SCARY! That would soooooo freak me out! This scavenger hunt reminds me of a board game.

Wow, everybody is on sick leave. My next door coworker is on sick leave too!

Chocolate festival. mmm! Salon = getting your hair done. mmm... French mashed potatoes sound good. heh. French people like goo?

Yea! Shout out for my blog!

K&K cocktail. YUM.

Drippy gothic. lol. The plague cemetary? Scary. Dried black cat? Ewww! Great shower. lol. Clean shower?

On nooo!!! The gps, bag, and iphone all stolen! OMG! The gps was stolen! And Kylie is out of middle of nowhere.

NOOOO! Magic pens were stolen! Now that is THE WORST!

Filing a report at a police station in France sounds awful!

Oooh ooh! Toe update! I remember reading about the toe on twitter. AHHHHH!! He scraped the bone! ewwwwwwww!

Episode 190 - the one where they argue about how early is too early to put up christmas decorations... and stuff...

Dear K&K,
Sorry I've been absent! Busy bee here...

On with the show...

Why is there an intro? I HAVE M&M's and K&K DON'T.

I feel like Kylie is going to tell me a bedtime story when she starts talking about fall...

Christmas decorations ARE TOO EARLY to be out! I saw trees in Lowes in September!

I love how Kylie's birthday in September is a holiday.

Katia, please do not put up your Christmas tree! Does Symphony enjoy the tree?

Reply to Katia's question: I put up my tree after Thanksgiving... but I guess since France doesn't have Thanksgiving... I guess now it is ok....

hahaha.. Katia would cut down a tree from the side of the road... it makes me think of kidnapping something... Pull over, swiftly cut, throw in the trunk... speed off... lol. Leave no evidence.

Christmas toilet paper?? LOL! Love the holiday themed paper!

I love how "you people" = Americans. I say 'good bye' on the telephone.

I am soooooooo excited for December 6th! Holy cow! I wanted to come.. but I don't have $1000 for the plane ticket! I did seriously consider it.. and the husband said I could... but it just seems so much money for only a couple of days.

Intern throwdown! lol. Can I be the archivist? PLEASE? Since I'm listening to all the episodes and I'm a historian of K&K now?

How cook Kylie is going to Normandy. That's so nice that hotels are trusting. I love B&B's too. I just wish that most of them were not decorated so frilly and victorian. I got married at a B&B.

Thursday, November 6, 2008

Episode 189 - the one where they wonder how to tell if men are being sleazy or sweet... and stuff...

Dear K&K,
Zombies!!! Hilarious that Kylie has a 'deep fear' of The Zombie. Zombie = Nice People Dressed Up Funny. Zombiephobia!! lol. Zombie detox? Lol.

K&K just spent a good 10 minutes talking about Zombies. (this must be the 'and stuff... ' part of the episode title)

I know why Katia has a fear of spiders!!! I know I know!

What?? No coffee table studio today?

Recording from Katia's bedroom lol. Katia cannot move? WHAT? Katia has a CLEANING LADY? What does your cleaning lady do Katia? laundry? clean bathroom? Is a cleaning lady in Paris expensive? I want a cleaning person. Maybe the husband can 'turn into' a cleaning person?

lol. Cleaning lady.. "poor little kitty". lol.

I would love to see the powerpoint of the K&K podcast!!!

I didn't realize that giving your number to a French guy is very complicated. So, Katia, when you first kissed the Muffin Man, was it assumed that he would be your husband?

Hahaha.. Katia is going to answer the kissing question!

Snow, i like snow. Ice, I do not like ice. Sleet, I do not like sleet.

Weee! this blog got a shout out again!

Episode 188 - the one where they talk about creepy Paris... and stuff...

Dear K&K,
Creepy Paris! They have got to talk about the catacombs!

Zombies on a Plane. lol.

Halloween was great here in the USA. I had 75 trick-or-treaters.

Cemetaries in Paris seem very, very creepy.

The Doll Museum?? That is freakin scary! A doll hospital? There used to be a Cabbage Patch Kid hospital I remember.

Catacombs! I remember the episode wher Kylie explains the bones and where they came from to create the catacomb.

I wonder if one of those medical museums has a model of Katia's toe?

The movie IT was SCARY!!!!! (I had a crush on Jonathan Brandis btw).

Poltergeist is the SCARIEST! Especially the part where they swim around the mud filled swimming pool... and the part where the tree attacks that boy!

A suicide bridge? K&K, you should really see the movie Waterloo Bridge!! Scary movie!

I don't understand this who French thing about wanting to chop off heads. Sooooooo creepy! Wow, a guillatine was used until the 1960's? Wow!

Zombies in Paris... I wonder if they drink wine and each cheese? I can imagine one sitting outside a cafe having an espresso. Well.. the zombie would probably more likely enjoy Starbucks.

Thursday, October 30, 2008

Episode 187 - the one where they talk about doctors, nurses and toes... and stuff...

Dear K&K,

awww.. what a cute poem by fwab!

omg. did Katia loose her toe? I'm scared.

I know Katia means about not eating before going to the doctor's. I usually have to fast before a blood test. The night before a fast, I usually have a steak dinner.

LOL at the muffin man telling Katia to have some 'quiet time'. lol. Love how the doctor was a mate.

A stop work certificate? So cool. I want a stop work certificate!

Wow, Katia had doctors and nurses vist her at her house? That's so cool. Love how the doctor made himself at home at Katia's house.

did Symphony like the doctors and nurses?

K&K are both missing body parts! lol.

EWwWWWW.. blood everywhere? Eewwwwww... How much blood can a toe produce?

60 euros for a operation?? WHAT??? NUTS!

December 6th! Need to see the K&K stage! Someone take a picture for me!

Pub quizzes!!! I could totally win if they ask people questions about the podcast!

Symphony is mentioned as a guest! lol.

More bumping of the microphones... and mic stands..

Discussion on earbuds.. and headphones.. I have big headphones.. noise cancelling headphones. That way, I can listen to the podcast without the humming of the AC.

Katia slurps some OJ through her front teeth! My gawd!

Banned smoking in Paris in all public places? So cool!

hmm.. i wonder how the smoking is in Paris right now?

I love how the French dress so elegant.

ahhh.. Symphony gets on the leather again!

I love all the interruptions of Symphony... "that's my hand Symphony!" Kylie says...

I've always wanted to go to the Louvre...

A K&K Agenda! that would be awesome... there could be Rhum Rhum days...days to play with Symphony... birthday months.. kareoke days...

Electric socks. hilarious. What if you sweat? Will you get electricuded?

Heated mittens that plug into the computer!!! I want some! Some of my coworkers talk about getting me a pair.. b/c it is COLD in the office during the winter. I have a blankie for my lap at work. A mickey mouse plush blankie. Yes, I get made fun of. Oh yes, that fire yesturday? It was started by a space heater in the admissions office. Dear State, please let us be warm this winter!! I swear, I wear like 3 layers and thermals to work everyday!

Ice skating! Sounds so much fun! Hilarious the ice skating rink was a huge pick up joint.

Oofta!!!! It's a Minnesota term!! My husband uses the word! It's like "oh darn".

What a fun episode. I wish I could go ice skating with Kim, Katia, and Kylie. Is this a vodka and OJ drinking episode? They all sound very, very hyper.

Tuesday, October 28, 2008

Episode 15 - the one where they talk about Christmas... and stuff...

Dear K&K,
ARgh! We had a power outage here at work... so I lost all of my notes about Episode 15! and I was halfway through!!!

I remember writing ... Katia should watch the movie Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation so she can learn about American Christmases!!! then something about how at my family friend's Eurasian Christmas dinners we always have egg rolls with the ham and mashed potatoes... and the kids would play chess... b/c that's what us half Chinese kids do (nobody owned a Nintendo).

Argh... that's all I can remember... something about ewww... eggnog... but eggnog taffy is pretty good.
I can't remember what else...

ARGH! I am so MAD!

Oh Salvation Army bell ringers.. I love that episode of Friends where Phoebe tries to raise money for the Salvation Army.

Ok.. back to explaining about Katia's Christmas... Santa on a firetruck? lol.

Ice cream pudding... yum. Christmas on a beach? That's so... different... lol...

Whoa! Katia is going away for Christmas for nearly 1 month?? I would LOVE to go on vacation for 1 month!

Santa's black box? Lol. like the black box they retrieve whenever a plane goes down?

Wow! Katia has never seen snow??? My Chinese grandmother saw snow for the first time when she visited 15 years ago. She liked to throw it at my brother and me. Then she went back to Taiwan and everybody asked her what snow was like.

I got sent home from school when it was 100 degrees out. My Elementary school didn't have air conditioning.

I wonder if Katia has seen "A Christmas Story" yet? If she hasn't, she should see it by this Christmas.

Love the Kylie Grandma Mac voice!

Wait...at the end Katia sounds like she is yelling... I wonder if she is yelling at Symphony? Naughty cat!

Monday, October 27, 2008

Episode 14 - the one wehre they learn how to say each others names... and stuff...

Dear K&K,

Not much to say about this episode... really a Q&A about Christmas for this episode.

Episode 13 - the one where they spend 15 minutes introducing the show... and stuff...

Dear K&K,

Hmm... no mention of "the coffee table studio" yet. Seems like they just go straight to the "shout outs!".

Love all of the exaggerated "Please Please Please" leave an audio comment from Katia.

mmm... love raspberries. I made myself a raspberry mocha this past weekend. I have frozen blueberries in my frig. I use them to make scones.

I should really log into K&K for 2 hours just to mess up their site stats... and freak them out. lol.

Magical pens!!! I found some at Target this past weekend - three colors! yea! The is the first episode where K&K explain magic pens!!!

haha.. love the Katia story about a kid who sucked on his fountain pen. I was chewing the top of my pen while I was in the library during my senior year of high school. Apparently, the ink started to leak and I didn't notice it. I went up to ask the librarian a question and she said I had ink all over my face... then she proceeded to clean off my face with a tissue paper and her SPIT! Like a little kid! I was soooo embarassed and grossed out.

Symphony playing with the notebook!

More searching for muffin man! lol. I just did a search for "muffin man" symphony and Katia's page came up!

This is the innnnnteerresting episode.

ewwww. lice epidemic!!

Episode 186 - the one where they talk about french men, french women, and secret tours of Paris... and stuff...

Dear K&K,
Yea!! Heather is back to talk about sex! lol.

French men will open doors for women??? Holy cow! I almost yelled at a guy this weekend for closing the door in my face at the mall this weekend.

Wow, French men sound lovely. It is nice to feel attractive sometimes. I miss that.

Love how the French woman goes out all made up. I went to Trader Joe's the other day in sweatpants and a tee shirt. But I did wear a long nice coat to hide my disheveledness.

Hilarious about the phone number thing! The Chris Moyles (BBC One) show used to have the "Flirt Divert Line". Basically, if you meet someone that you don't want to give your real number to, you give them this fake number. It is a regular voicemail. Usually on Monday mornings, they play the crazy voicemails on the radio show. Hilarious voicemails!!! Especially the one about the drunk guy who lost his car. lol.

Ew. Brains. I'm not sure if I could eat any of that.

Fancy jeans and tennis shoes? what are those?

Sitting in a cafe watching the world go by. I would love to do that one day....

Watching the world go by reminds me of Fashion Watch 2008 where K&K pointed out good and bad fashions.

Episode 185 - the one where they cure headaches but not katia's toe... and stuff...

Dear K&K,
oooh! I see from the title they are going to talk about Katia's toe. I hope she is ok! Been reading her twitters about going to the ER.

Mmm.. premium M&M's! Triple chocolate. Wow. Sounds good. Another subliminal message to me to go out and buy premium M&M's.

"Speaking of domination" lol... Katia.

Gasp... Submissions for Episode 200... Maybe I'll get a mention! Maybe I'll get more hits on my page! Maybe I'll get more people to comment?

Katia as a sock puppet! Hilarious.

OMG! They are talking about the first submission!! AHH! It's me! Yea! Yea!

Yep, that's how to pronounce my name Kylie!

This is so cool to hear about the phone conversation between K&K!

Yep, I'm a little insane (and hopefully you don't think I'm a Stalker!). lol. I just enjoy the podcast so much.. and relistening and blogging makes the work days go by faster in my little insanely quiet office cubicle.

OMG! The Queen Mum is reading my blog??? I feel honored. So cool. Hi Queen Mum!

(Welcome all the people who came to visit my page from K&K's!).

Tim Tams. Still have not found them in the USA. I tried looking at Trader Joe's (which is not a ritzy grocery store!) but I didn't see them.

Poor Katia's toe. Wow, the ER with the battered wife. That's really, really sad.

What did Katia do to her toe? Oh wow, bumping a toe.

Sounds like the nurses in the Paris ER really enjoy their jobs. I really love whenever people love their jobs. I went to the Social Security Administration to get my name change and they guy who helped me was really nice.

An operation? OMG? Sounds like a serious toe. Love how the doctor 'called a mate' to schedule the toe operation.

I seriously love hearing about all the ER and doctor visits from K&K. Kylie's spider bite... Katia trying to find an optometrist.. Katia having a really bad cough.. visiting the pharmacy... I'm really jealous that Katia has free healthcare. ;-( The USA healthcare system sucks. I swear, my perscription cost has gone up 3 times in the past 3 years. Is it true that France doctors make house calls? I remember reading this in a book one time.

Katia getting sympothy. I can totally understand that. My best friend had cancer. She throws the 'cancer card' all the time. "Oh, I can't carry that b/c I had cancer." "I can help you carry toilet paper rolls". lol. Hilarious.

Get well soon Katia's toe!

On December 6th, I will be anxiously waiting for the live podcast!

Yea!!! Anna got a shout out!!

K&K - Anna is my dear, dear internet (and pen pal) friend! I've known her for years and years! I am so excited that K&K get to meet Anna!

I wish I could bring my special potato salad to episode 200.

Magic Pens Arrive in the USA!!!


Just ran to the University Bookstore... and found MAGIC PENS!!! I am SOOOO EXCITED!!! I am so happy they are here in the USA now. Won't have to buy them off Ebay anymore!! Now to find the refills.....

Episode 12 - the one where they get excited about a pen... and stuff...

Dear K&K,
Shout out to meeeee!!! Small Madeline! That's me!! Just how Katia sings it is how I would pronounce it.

Love Symphony moments!

Hee hee.. I just googled for "muffin man france podcast". lol. Look at your stats Katia!

Magical Pens mention!!!!! FIRST MAGIC PEN CONVERSATION!

I wish I had some Magic Pens.. I bought some from Ebay, but they ran out of ink. ;-( So expensive too!

OH MY GOD! They sell them in the USA now!!! FROM STAPLES!!!

I am SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!! I just saw on the website for Pilot USA. I have to go and buy some....

How do you travel? You are right Kylie about Americans running here and there whenever they travel for vacation. I have vowed not to travel like that. One of my coworkers when to Italy for her honeymoon. Her and her new hubby took a bus tour. A bus tour for a honeymoon? That's really strange to me... I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon. It was the first time my husband and I had ever traveled for a 'long vacation' (1 week). We stayed at the Turtle Bay Resort (Ever seen forgetting Sarah Marshall?) in Oahu. We pretty much just relaxed the whole time. We did take trips to Pearl Harbour, Waima Bay, and the Dole Pineapple Plantation but that was the extent of our 'running around'. We did take a nice drive to eastern Oahu. I never, ever want to run around here and there and cram everything in.

Episode 184 - the one where they learn more about being naughty in Paris... and stuff...

Dear K&K,

Love Katia's exaggeration of "Laaaaadies"...

A sex shop with shopping carts? lol.

A place where you can be with another person where you are not squished up with other people? I know!! Starbucks. ;-)

Foot massage? How can you do that without being ticklish? Ew.. in the mouth!! ewww ewww. Foot fetish. lol. It's like that episode of Sex & the City where Charlotte buys shoes from a guy with a foot fetish.

Ew. Dry pole. LOL. hahahaha..

Dec 6th. Wish I could be in Paris. Booo. ;-(

Episode 11 - the one where havoc and Thanksgiving go hand in hand... and stuff...

Dear K&K,
Yea!! Everybody gets together for Thanksgiving!!! I love this episode. I wish I were at the party.

I am SO EXCITED about Thanksgiving!

Kimmie makes her first appearance! ;-)

Hand turkey!!!

I love all of the pictures from the Thanksgiving episode.

16lb turkey. yummm... I remember one year, my mom bought a 25lb turkey. Apparently, she was hungry when she went to the grocery store. lol. We had turkey everything for a really long time.

(i am imagining Symphony at the party... he must be very excited by all the people!).

Ranch dressing! lol!

Black Friday! Crazy. I never go out!

What a fun party!

Love the French guys saying about what they liked about Thanksgiving. "I'm not used to cutting such a big turkey!". lol.

MASHMELLOW... such a cute accent.

lol. Such cute noises for 'French Turkeys".

Thursday, October 16, 2008

Episode 10 - the one where they see dead people... and stuff...

Dear K&K,

Episode 10 - the episode where K&K make me hungry for FOOD.

What is airplane jelly? Jelly on an airplane?

Yea! Thanksgiving! My FAVORITE holiday! I love turkey.

Pavlova roll. I saw Nigella Lawson make one on her show. MMM.. sounds marshmellowly.

Lol. First yelling at Symphony to "Get off the leather!"!!!!

MMMM.. Pumpkin pie. I made 2 last night. 3/4 of one is already gone. Pumpkin pie + cool whip is so yummy!

What is wrong with canned pumpkin w/spices? Wait.. Kylie are you missing the eggs in the mix? I added eggs in mine.

Holy cow! 22 euros = $30 for a pie!!!

Katia doesn't like PUMPKIN? omg! I love Pumpkin muffins, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin fudge...

Pecan pie.. yummm. I made one last year for Thanksgiving. It was a disaster. My mother spit her pie out then complained about it for hours. Thanks mom!

Betty Crocker cake mix and instant frosting!!! YUM.

Graham cracker explaination to Katia - hilarious!

mmm... trifle.

OMG. I have 1 hour until lunch. I might cave from listening to this episode.

Cemetary visit! neat! and spooky... a picnic in a cemetary? scary! Very Halloween!

Nice customer service from Amazon! :-) I've been waiting for my car insurance to be transfered from my parents plan to my husband's plan. It's been 4 weeks now. They keep transferring the wrong car!!! **#*#!

mmm... cheddar cheese....

Episode 9 - the one where they talk about the internet being really really great

Dear K&K,
Muffin Man and Katia go to a fruit and vegetable fair! lol. Awesome! They got free tickets! awesome! My husband and I got into Hershey Park for free. A lady in the parking lot gave us tickets - she had extra b/c she was a volunteer. We saved $160! Amazing!

Symphony!

Traveling alone. I'm not sure if I could travel alone...

Poor K&K have no mic stands.

Yea! Hand turkeys!

I am allergic to Symphony like Kylie is allergic to Symphony.

Tylenol can be in red liquid form. They have it for kids - in bubble gum flavor.

Singing the Internet song! lol. Avenue Q! hilarious!

World of Warcraft! lol. My husband plays WoW!!! omg. youtube WoW singing Avenue Q! I am going to have to look that up tonight.

Neopets! Again!

Episode 183 - the one where they learn about being naughty in Paris... and stuff...

Dear K&K,
it's FWAB doing the dear!

Canada is 'neutral territory'. lol.

whoa.. Paris sex shop book! lol.

Minnesota people are very, very friendly. My husband is very friendly. Ever heard of "Minnesota Nice"?

Naughty Paris guide! lol.

Great book introduction. Love it!

gasp!! Great book for bachelorette party!!! Awesome! One of my friends just got engaged!

oooh ooh. i want to meet the author... let's see if she coming near me.

Monday, October 13, 2008

Episode 182 - the one where kylie discovers the races and katia discovers the power of fluffy pens... and stuff...

Dear K&K,
Yes, I am going to blog NEW episodes while blogging OLD episodes...
onto episode 182! 182! Yea! repeat! Repeat!

LOL at the dear.

ooooh... a mention of the early episodes.. maybe I'll get a plug in for my blog.... that would be awesome... nope.. no plug in.. booooo..

Horse racing in France? Wow, it seems sooo.. British to me.

Katia, you watched horse racing in school? Wow, that's amazing. The coolest thing we ever did was watch Puff the Magic Dragon the day before Christmas Break.

Symphony attacks pens. I love Symphony.

hehehe.. crazy pens. I have one with a bunny on it. I'm taking a look at my desk at work... hmm.. I have no crazy pens!

I wish i could buy magic pens here in the USA... I bought some off of Ebay, but they ran out of ink.

Rhum Rhum conversation again. I wonder how to make a Rhum Rhum?

ooh.. Peter Petrelli.. Can't wait for new episode of Heroes tonight!

A guy looses a TOOTH?? EWWWWW!!!! ew ew ew. In a restaurant? Even grosser!

Hhaha.. keeping a sandwich in a handbag. hilarious! mmm.. mozzerella in a sandwich are the best! ewww.. Kylie... ewwwww.. thank GOD Kylie didn't eat the mozzerella ball. I'm glad she wasn't too Rhum Rhum'ed.

Yes! I want to know the stuffs!!! oooh.. revealing episode 200!!! Gasp.. December 6th!!! Looking at calendar... on a Saturday! OMG! LIVE AUDIENCE! Argh. I can't come to Paris on December 6th! The airline tickets are sooo expensive.. booo. I feel sad now.I am SO EXCITED! I will most definately have to listen live. I'm sorry I can't be at the pub girls! Unless I win airplane tickets or something...

Prizes for episode 200! I'm so excited my blog is going to be entered into the contest! I really, REALLY want to win.. I want magic pens!

Episode 181 - the one where they declare that the Champs-Elysees is over-rated... and stuff

Dear K&K,
Yes, I'm cheating. How can I NOT listen to the newest K&K episode? A new episode, I'm going to listen!

Rhum Rhums!

Speaking of ginormous headphones... I am wearing big headphones. They are noise cancelling headphones - they block out the loud AC in my office. And they block out background noise! And muffle the jackhammer on the roof. (Love the rapping Kyliemac)

Trick-or-treating! I need to buy candy. We had 75 (SEVENTY FIVE!) kids last year. Since Halloween is on a Friday this year, we may hit 100. That would be awesome! I am going to give out Nerds again.

Kyliemac misses Reeces Peanut Butter Cups. Yum! I remember when I was taking an extra long vacation in Taiwan, after 1 month, I missed Taco Bell Supreme Soft Tacos. I missed the sour cream, cheese, and meat. When I told my Chinese grandmother I really wanted a taco, she thought I wanted octopus. Because "taco" in Japanese is "octopus".

Wait? Peanut Butter PUMPKIN? Must rewind... OH MY GOD! I need to find THOSE!!! I know what I'm doing tonight!!! Going to Target to FIND THEM!

Couple that live together start to look like each other? Freaky. So, you start looking like brother and sister?

MMm... macaroons! I always see pictures on Flickr of the Paris macaroons. Sad about the Champs L'Eysee. That's what I feel about the shops in Georgetown. They used to have little unique shops... now the stores are like going to the mall - Gap, JCrew, Express, etc. Nothing special anymore.

Mushroom hunting!!! I was explaining to friends the other night that I went "Pumpkin hunting". They all laughed at the hunting term. Thanks K&K!

Wait a second... Back to the Reeces Peanut Butter Cups.. I'm confused. is it pumpkin shaped or pumpkin flavored? I have a feeling pumpkin shaped... boooo... would be awesome if it was pumpkin flavored.

Love the mushroom hunting stories. I love how Katia hates mushrooms "with the fire of a thousand suns!"

I wonder if you can use pigs or dogs to hunt mushrooms... like how they are used to hunt truffles...

Episode 8 - the one where they learn where kir comes from...

Dear K&K,

8 is my favorite number. It's a lucky number in Chinese. I was married on 8-8-08. Means wealth and prosperity to the Chinese. Alicia is listening to Episode 8 on 10/8/08!

Ok. enough about 8.

Katia gets new glasses. I need to get my eyes checked.

K&K went to see Pan's Labarynth. SCARY movie. I had bad dreams after seeing that movie. That movie was not all fantasy. Ewww.. sugar popcorn! Like kettle corn? The pumpkin patch I went to this past weekend had kettle corn.

No pretzels in the movie theater in Paris? That sucks.

Come on K&K...say the movie was scary.... say it... nope.

Next topic!

Katia is talking about corresponding with neighbors in Paris. I don't chat with my neighbors much. The family a few houses down gave us peanut butter cookies when we moved in. I think this particular family has quintuplets. All 5 kids look alike and look the same age. I can't imagine have 5 kids all the same age.

Yummy. Kir sounds yummy.

Neopets! More talk about Neopets!

Back to Paris. Riots in Paris sound really scary.

Kylie is studying English in Paris. Hilarious.

Postal Museum in Paris? There is a postal museum in DC. I went with Girl Scouts a long time ago. Great museum. They have a kiosk you can print postcards and send them.

Saying "Bonjour Monsier/Madamoiselle" in a shop in Paris is helpful. How do you know whether or not to say Madam or Madmoiselle?

Another Starbucks siting!! I had Starbucks this morning. A Venti Pumpkin Spiced Latte. Yummy. I love this time of year when pumpkins are everywhere.

Why were K&K in Starbucks really, really early in the morning? I'm curious.

Episode 7 - the one wehre they talk about joys of French administration and stuff...

Dear K&K,
Cassoulet. What is it? Please tell me. It sounds like a casserole.
Oh thank god at 3:25 Katia explains what a cassoulet is. Wow, I totally guessed how to spell cassoulet. I was correct! Thanks google! Cassoulet = bean casserole. Beans beans the more you eat them.... I'm thinking about making some white bean soup this weekend - with lots of spinach.

Lol. Kylie is going to school to learn British English!

*Giggle* Kylie is talking about chatting with someone behind the counter (when she went to renew her papers) about Big Macs. I haven't had a Big Mac in years.

Beer in McDonald's France?? lol. McDonalds in Taiwan serve Teriyaki burgers. The Taiwanese dip their fries in chili sauce.

Halloween discussion! Wow, perfect timing. Halloween is coming up! Last year, I had 75 trick-or-treaters come to my door. This year... probably more b/c Halloween is on a Friday. I can't wait to hear about the K&K Halloween party this year.

Peeps make their first appearance!!!!! Kylie's mom sent her Halloween Peeps!

Episode 6 - SPIDERCAST 2006 - the one where they talk about spiders... and stuff...

Dear K&K,

OMG. It is the spider bite episode. Officially, this is the episode that Freaks Me Out! What perfect timing since Halloween is coming up soon. Spidercast 2006. Is there a Spidercast 2007? Maybe that was about spider cheese?

Frappr Map sounds like something you get at Dairy Queen. I imagine it to be soft serve... whipped up with... a Frappachino from Starbucks!

K&K are so dedicated. Even though Kylie just got out of the hospital that morning they still decided to podcast.

Oh god.. oh god.. Kylie is explaining the spider bite...ew ew.. cut the bite out of the leg. ew ew.

Kylie has a Hole In Her Leg. ewwwww!

I wonder what it looks like now? We need a follow up!

Scorpians stab you - haven't K&K seen 'Honey I Shrunk the Kids'??? You know, where the and (SPOILER WARNING) gets killed by the scorpian.

Oh nooooo.. now Katia is explaining HER spider story. AHHHH. Spider babies down her shirt.. in the hair. Oh god oh god.

Poor Symphony got mistaken for a spider. ;-(

Stop Kylie!! Eating the flesh. ewww.

Good thing I already ate lunch. mmm... sushi.

BYOT to the French hospital? Bring Your Own Towel? That's strange.

I'm So Glad this episode is over. No more spider talk!! Well... except for spider cheese later on.....

Episode 5 - the one where they laugh at each others accents... and stuff...

Dear K&K,

Words glorious words! Has nothing to do with Paris. Just a little word fun between Australian and American English.

What do you call the night before Halloween? "the night before Halloween". Lol.

My husband says pop (he's from Minnesota). I say soda (I'm from Maryland). Pop reminds me of a 'popsicle'. I have friends in Indiana who say pop.

Now they are talking about cupcakes. Yum. Another subliminal message sent to the listeners - make them hungry for cupcakes! Since Parisians do not know about cupcakes, a cupcake bakery in Paris would be a great idea!

Chippy sandwich = ew. I do put Doritos in my sandwich. Tastes great in an Italian sub.

Monkey Bread! I just saw a recipe for Monkey Bread in my Martha Stewart Magazine. *giggle*.. hilarious about how Kylie is explaining to Katia about the Pillsbury pop can of biscuit dough. I love how it makes a pop noise when you twist it... or slam it on the corner of a counter.

Heh. Katia’s mom hit a kangaroo. My brother hit a deer once.

Coriander/Cilantro. I am planning to grow some. Seeds are in the mail right now.

A black cow is coke with ice cream.

It is funny how Kylie says trashcan. She said “rubbish bin” in Episode 3! Look at my blogpost.

K&K are podcasting from the lounge. Not the coffee table studio yet.

I call my mom ‘Mommy’.

Aussie swear words! Lol.

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

Episode 4 - the one where they hunt for mushrooms and fight dragons... and stuff...

Yea! Kyliemac repeats "episode 4!". I don't think she realizes yet that she must repeat the episode number every episode.

Lacoste is a crocodile not an alligator! lol. I can't tell the difference either.

Ahhh.. toilets again! Train toilet waste is emptied on the train tracks. EW. Imagine if you lived by the train tracks. Does that mean your house smells like human sewage?

Bowling in Paris! So neat. I wonder if the K&K group drank beer and ate pizza? That's what I do when I go bowling. Drink light draft beer and eat pizza and nachos. Shoe hire = shoe rental.

Haha.. I like how K&K describe mushroom hunting. It's like Elmer Fudd hunting for rabbits.

Calling a waiter garcon. So rude! I hate in movies when someone calls the waiter "Boy" in American movies. My husband always tries to catch the eye of the waiter or lifts his hand holding a credit card to indicate he would like the check.

uh oh. Neopet toolbar! Still haven't google for what a Neopet is yet.

Bowling again. Backlight bowling. I've been before. Grandma Mac is going to wear earplugs the next time she goes bowling.

Starbucks siteing no #2!

I think K&K are sending me subliminal messages to go to Starbucks. Now I Really Want the new Starbuck's Salty Caramel Hot Chocolate.

I still haven't seen Snakes on a Plane. Too scary for me. I thought Iron Man and Transformers were scary. I wonder what Samuel L. Jackson's dubbed French voice sounds like?

Sylvain == Muffin Man! It is revealed! Katia let it slip!

K&K are the totally for the free museums. So neat! Hey, did you know in Washington DC all of the museums are free? It's your tax dollars at work. It's so strange to me to actually pay to go to a museum.

Finally!! The Cat has a name!! Symphony makes his first appearance!

The M&M's start! It all started with a visit to the movies.

Episode 3 - the one where they bitch... and stuff...

K&K on a road trip! It reminds me of 'Harold & Kumar go to White Castle'. They go to visit Kimmie!

oh wait.. let's sidetrack to talk about Starbucks....

I wonder if K&K have been to all 23 (maybe more now!) Starbucks by now? I can't wait to try the Starbuck's salty caramel hot chocolate. A salty and sweet drink? YUM. Bad coffee is definately bad coffee. There is no way around it. Old coffee is soooo nasty.

Turkish Toilets! I call it a 'hole in the ground'. This is hilarious b/c in Taiwan (my mom is from Taiwan) I went to use the bathroom in McDonalds and saw this hole in the ground. I was confused on how to use it! I had to ask my mom. lol. My grandmother got a big kick out of my puzzled look.

Hmm...I guess the road trip is a train trip. Ew. Smokers. Poor Kyliemac - I think she has a problem with cigarette smoke.

Hedgehogs being strangled by McFlurries? Poor hedgehogs.

"Rubbish Bin" Kyliemac calls the garbage. She totally picked that up from Katia. I have never heard an American say "rubbish bin".

Character socks! I bet all men in France collect cartoon socks. Just got a vision of neat rows of cartoon socks in drawers.

Argh. There is jackhammering on the roof of my office. They are reroofing. I wish they would stop.

Turning up the volume.

Cathedral light show! So cool.

Oh. Katia has to pee. Nice to know.

Train back to Paris. A dog with it's name in diamonds on the collar! So cute! Loved Kyliemac's comment on how a dog is an accessory.

Hey, I'm the same age as Kyliemac's mom!!! 29! So cool.

Kyliemac's bowling party discussion. I wonder if French bowling shoes are designer?

The jackhammering on the roof is Getting Worse. Cannot work under these conditions!

Episode 2 - the one about scorpions and visiting the Marquis de Sade... and stuff...

I'm so glad the Heineken issue was brought up. It must have been wikipedia'ed. Also I'm glad the Gairage issue was also addressed.

Lots and lots of thanks for leaving messages/audio comments. So nice!

That's pretty sad about how people come to Paris and stay for a short while then they leave. It must be really sad b/c you are not sure when you'll see them again.Thank goodness for blogs, email, and Skype. That's really a good way to stay in contact. But still, that's not the same as seeing the person.

I keep imagining that the boat tour was like in the movie Charade with Audrey Hepburn. The kissing bridge... I wonder if that is where Carey Grant kisses Audrey in the movie?

Eating food muffin thing? I wonder if the Muffin Man made muffins?

Rocky Horror Picture Show. Sounds so fun. Ohh! Singing! This is the first episode where K&K sing on the podcast.

Visit to Lacoste for Kylie. Ahhh!! Scorpions! That's amazing that scorpions live in the south of France. What if a scorpian was in the shower? Like on the shower head while your lathering your hair and you don't see it and then it jumps on you? Scary.

Katia being barefoot reminds me of Laura Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie. Laura only wore shoes when she went to school. I have a feeling Katia wears shoes only when she leaves the house. lol.

Smart cars! They just came to the USA. I saw one the other day when I went to the pumpkin patch.

uh oh. Neopets again! I might have to google it (not even sure if I am spelling it correctly) to find out what it is! A Neopet panda would be awesome.

Episode 1 - the one where they talk about Eiffel Tower... and stuff...

Dear K&K,

Nice introductions, although Symphony is referred to as “the cat”. Little did K&K know, Symphony will become an important part of interrupting the podcast. Plus, there is no coffee table studio yet! There is a comfy couch… That’s just strange. I wonder what part of Ikea the podcast idea was thought up of? In the bedroom department? In the kitchen department?? Or perhaps in the cafeteria where perhaps K&K were taking part in chowing down some Swedish meatballs with lingonberry? So, one of the first things I learn about Paris is that Katia does not drink tea unless she is playing scrabble with her mum. Lol.

Ooh.. Eiffel Tower. Love all the facts about the Eiffel Tower! The ice skating rink sounds awesome. Just to tell someone that you went ice skating on the Eiffel tower is pretty cool. This Eiffel Tower talk totally reminds me that I have a small picture of the Eiffel Tower still at my parents house – my bff gave it to me. Thinking about where would be a great place for it in my house… Anyhow….

Neopet. This is never explained! What is a Neopet? I’m not even sure if I’m spelling it correctly. I’m thinking a Neopet is one of the Tamagotchi handheld digital pet. It must be some video game?

Ghairage Band. Lol. Garage. Love it. Actually… I say Ghairage like Katia! Must be all of that BBC Radio listening.
