The Buddies Are Back! January 31st!
YouTube Link: http://youtu.be/WkY8VWIHcZs
Disney’s talking canine superstars are back in “Treasure Buddies,” their 6th all-new adventure. This latest story is told from the perspective of the Buddies’ newest friend, a mischievous Egyptian monkey named Babi. As Babi tells us, more than 40 years ago, a young archeologist named Thomas Howard, travelled to Egypt with his dog Digger to search for the lost necklace of Cleocatra.

I do not like measuring and I REALLY do not like cleaning up the mess I make when I bake. Friends and family would say that I am a pretty good cook, but as soon as it calls for measuring, FORGET IT!
