Pin-Test

When I saw on Pinterest how to turn your old T-shirts into tank tops 
I knew I had to try it...I have so many old, baggy T-shirts that I love but didn't wear. 
And now I can wear them all the time! 
I've tried 4 T-shirts so far but these two are my favorite!
I followed this tutorial
Basically you just cut out the neck line.
Cut off the sleeves and the hem on the bottom. 
Then keep cutting the neck line and sleeve area to your liking. 
Start by cutting off an inch at a time and see how you like it. 
Then take a scrap of material (I used the hem I cut off) pull it through the back of the arm holes
wrap twice around the gathered material and tie two tight knots.
For my Lakers shirt I used one of my razor back tank tops as a pattern and I think that also helped. 

I give this Pin-Test 2 thumbs up!

Pin-Test

There's no denying it
I am addicted to Pinterest
 I have hundreds of pins for ideas 
I'd like to do someday.

While my pins continue to pile up 
I decided I needed to start testing out
some of those pins...why wait for someday?

When I saw this pin I knew I just had to try it.
I mean it's an egg in an avocado...

an eggvocado!

I followed the directions:
preheat oven to 375
hollow out  1/2 an avocado
use tinfoil to make a bowl to the place the avocado on
break egg into the center
and bake until egg is done 
about 15 minutes.

At 15 minutes my egg was still raw looking 
so I let it cook for 5 more minutes...
still runny.
5 more minutes....
still didn't look like it was cooking.
After 30 minutes I decided to chance it.
I cut into it and the egg was definitely cooked. 
So maybe it would have been good at 20-25 minutes?
My mom and I shared it and we were surprised by how good it tasted.
You could also add salt and pepper, cheese, paprika, etc.
 
I would encourage you to try this
if you like eggs and avocados.
