All of you who know me in real life know I'm a MASSIVE Doctor Who fan. I have a Who area in my spare room, and I needed some more art in there. I have seen the crayon art all over the internet, but I am cheap and didn't want to waste a few boxes of Crayola crayons. Until I found 8 pack boxes specific to a certain color. And I found blues. Blues = TARDIS. TARDIS = Doctor Who. My head went to work and I decided to make a Who themed crayon art piece. The result is this:
I AM IN LOVE!!! I bought that tiny TARDIS at Barnes&Noble and it has just been sitting on a shelf. Now I have a beautiful piece of crayon art, complete with tiny TARDIS that lights up!
I don't understand why a lot of people use the excuse that all the "good" food is taken away if you make a healthy lifestyle change. That is so not true. One of our favorite things to eat is buffalo chicken. I could post up at b-dubs and never leave. Needless to say, I was THRILLED when I came across this keto friendly recipe for buffalo chicken. Not the best thing to eat when you have GERD, but I will take the few days of suffering for a really good meal. I didn't have tenders, so I just cubed it up after baking/before tossing.
Ingredients:
6 oz finely ground pork rinds
2 Tbsp parsley flakes
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp seasoning salt
2.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken tenders
3 eggs
your choice of wing sauce (I use Moore's Buffalo Wing Sauce. 0 carb)
Two ways to go about making it, depending on how fast you want them.
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Whisk eggs in one bowl. In a separate bowl, combine pork rinds and seasonings. Cover chicken in egg and then cover with pork rind/seasoning mix. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Toss with your wing sauce and serve.
-or-
2. In a heavy pot, warm about a gallon of vegetable oil to 350F. Cover chicken with egg and then with the pork rind/seasoning mix. Drop slowly into oil for about 6 minutes. Once cooked, set on a plate with paper towel to drain excess grease. Toss chicken in wing sauce and serve.
As I am typing this, GISHWHES 2013 is in it's final moments. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little sad that it is over. I have had such an amazing time this week. Some items took me far out of my comfort zone and some just further showed people how big of a goof I am. There are a few things I am certain of - I am ending this week with more friends and more confidence in myself and humanity as a whole.

Just over a week ago, I received my first e-mail from one of my teammates, Hannah. No time was wasted in creating a team Facebook page for Unicornassbutts. Many of us joined in on Skype team calls as we nervously awaited the revealing of the list. Seven days ago, our little team of 14 strangers began the journey of being involved in the greatest international scavenger hunt the world has ever seen. The United States, Canada and Mexico had to deal with our shenanigans. We enlisted the help of friends, family and strangers to complete list items. In seven days, all participants of GISHWHES collectively broke two more Guinness World Records, bringing the GISHWHES world record count to five. Not bad for something that has only been around for three years.
Team UnicornAssbutts
Just for funsies, here is a list of the records held by Misha Collins & GISHWHES:

3. Most charitable pledges for random acts of kindness. Nearly 100,000 pledges (2012)
4. Longest safety pin chain.. unofficial (2013)
5. Largest online album of hugs.. unofficial (2013)
Item #28 "Dress up as a robot and go to work" Our personal team robot, Silkia
I am having a hard time summing GISHWHES up. There is not a proper amount of words to do so. Our team not only did some amazing things, but did them so well that battle wounds were acquired. Allergic reactions, burning eyeballs, possible surgery for an ankle injury. Really, guys. GISHWHES is intense in so many ways.
Item #114 "Create a portrait of Chris Hardwick out of dried fruit" Made by Cristina
I've gotten permission from my teammates to share about our experience. We had to wait until after the hunt to post any images or videos for the public to see. That was to protect us from other teams being cheater cheater pumpkin eaters and stealing ideas. Some of us had some lows with being told "no" when asking for help or permission to do items, but team UnicornAssbutts takes that with a grain of salt and came back more determined. Out of 155 items, our team completed 90 of them. I thought it would be fun to see what items were favorites among the team.
