Move over Baltimore! Austin is the new home for Hairspray — the soultastic, hair hoppin’, dance-til-you-drop musical! Big girl Tracy Turnblad has big ideas about teasin’ to stratospheric hairdo heights while dancing on the Corny Collins TV record hop countdown, and instigating a change that’s gonna come. When this equality cutie starts back-combing and bee-bopping across the racial divide, the bigots can’t stop the beat. John Waters’ campy film inspiration and ZACH Artistic Director Dave Steakley are a match made in ozone-depleting, the higher-the-hair-the-closer-to-God, Beehive heaven!

Live on Stage from June 16 through August 28 on ZACH’s Kleberg Stage, at the corner of Riverside Dr. & S. Lamar Blvd. Call (512) 476-0541, x1, or visit www.zachtheatre.org for performance information and reservations.

The Cuisinart SmartPower Premier 600-Watt Blender is constructed with a heavy die-cast metal base and 50-ounce glass blender carafe. This dynamic new look for blending – solid, sophisticated, and elegantly commercial – is perfect for today’s gourmet kitchen.

The most powerful of the SmartPower Blenders, it’s engineered with a 600-watt motor that’s more than capable of handling extra tough blending tasks, including crushing ice. The flip side of this heavy-duty blender is its versatile, precision control. A Count-Up Timer ensures that any recipe can be followed to the second, and a professional-quality stainless steel blade finely minces even small portions of delicate herbs or nuts. Separate Hi, Low, Pulse, and Ice Crush controls, plus LED indicator lights, offer the kind of ease of operation and control that result in the perfect blend, time after time.

I was recently given the oppertunity to try out the brand new Betty Crocker Fun da-middles. I will be honest, I am not a cake/Cupcake person. But I thought I would give this a try for my girls. Since being at home all summer with a mom and dad that work 24/7 they deserve a treat once and a while. Plus they love to cook.

Making these were actually really simple. The instructions were clear with pictures too! The kids had a blast putting the filling in and topping them off. It was a great time.

In the end, Betty Crocker Fun da-middles actually tasted pretty good 🙂 My kids loved this, what kid wouldn’t?
