Ooooh Foogeee....yooohooo, yodalayhewho....

I made the spice cake a little while ago, and it's in the oven, has 17 minutes to bake...figuring it will be done RIGHT about the time my diet is over at midnight. Coffee's brewed and I'm thinking a nice cream cheese glaze icing drizzled on this, covered with ice cream would hit the spot about 12:01am. Since it's 25 degrees outside, won't take long to cool if I sit it on the patio table...

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!
Where's everyone at? I'm hyper and I wanna play.
:( :( :( :( :(

BBS is boring at 11:30 at night.

Hey, Fugie - in reference to a question you asked AGES ago ...

Sounds Good Jolie: in reference to "CAJUN CRABBIES" on page 10 ....--------------------------------
1 jar of old English cheese spread
Dash of Bayou Blast Essence ---------------------------
what are these are they local to your area only?

---

"Old English cheese spread" is a KRAFT product you can find in most grocery stores near the Cheese Whiz and Velveta ( I realise you prob don't eat this stuff. I refer to it as Hurricane Foods.
"Dash of Bayou Blast Essence" - it is a recipe from my Emirils' cookbook, it is his hot sauce creation. Substitute with Tabasco or the hot sauce of your choice.
Sorry I have been lax in reading all the posts.

Am I forgiven ?? :(

To make amends I offer ....
