I'll let our resident recipe librarian hunt up those Mud Pie recipes for elsaleh.

I do have a couple very good recipes for spaghetti sauce. I was just digging through them tonight looking for my "Mostacioli For One Hundred" recipe. I'll scan them and email them to you elsaleh.

Hi Jolie



Hi Ya JayBird LOL

[jaybird]

Hi Fugi!

[the fugative]

Hey JayBird how ya doin tonight?

Ever get that ICECREAM?

[jaybird]

I'm doing phenomenal. So good, in fact, I couldn't be better if I were twins!

YES I got my ice cream. Went to Ted Drewe's Friday night. And dahubby brought home fresh tomatoes, watermelon and STRAWBERRIES from his trip to Texas. Watermelon's barely okay, but the berries are outstanding. I've been stuffing myself on them for 2 days. SO good.

No icecream tonight. Dakids came for dinner (son & his girl, my otherdot) and we grilled burgers. Did run and get an icecream for Mom (she's not feeling so good, leftovers from a bug she had last week I guess) but I was too full, didn't even get any.

Was sorely wanting homemade icecream to go with these berries.

How's things up north? It's cold here (again) and they've predicted 1/2" of ice by morning. Ugh. Although this morning I talked to da dot and she said they had ice all last night and already had about 5" of snow this morning (at 9am) Easter's Sunday, right and not Christmas???

[the fugative]

Its A Heatwave here all of 20 degrees has not snowed for about a week

Been a strange winter very mild up to about the 1st of march but seems to be calming down (I hope).

Berries YUMMMMMMMM

[jaybird]

It's been a really odd winter here too, extremely mild with wild flucuations! 70's one day, 30's the next. I am SO ready (since I'm not going to get a decent snowfall this year) to get some of my garden planted and some flowers out. If we're not going to have a real winter, then get over it and bring on summer!

Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?

Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened.

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered; lets be pigs.

OK, so what's the speed of dark?

Girl Scout Thin Mints

Chocolate Cookie Wafers
1 package Betty Crocker chocolate fudge cake mix
3 tbsp. shortening, melted
1/2 cup cake flour, measured then sifted
1 egg
3 tbsp. water
Non-stick cooking spray

Coating
3 12-ounce bags semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 teas. peppermint extract
6 tbsp. shortening

1. Combine the cookie ingredients in a large bowl, adding the water a little bit at a time until the dough forms. Cover and chill for 2 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out a portion of the dough to just under 1/16 of an inch thick. To cut, use a lid from a spice container with a 1 1/2-inch diameter. Arrange the cut dough rounds on a cookie sheet that is sprayed with a light coating on non-stick spray. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the wafers from the oven and cool completely.

4. Combine chocolate chips with peppermint extract and shortening in a large microwave - safe glass or ceramic bowl. Heat on 50 percent power for 2 minutes, stir gently, then heat for an addition minute. Stir once again, and if chocolate is not a smooth consistency, continue to zap in microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.

5. Use a fork to dip each wafer in the chocolate, tap the fork on the edge of the bowl so that the excess chocolate runs off, and then place the cookies side-by-side on a wax paper - lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm.

Twinkies

Cake
Nonstick spray
4 egg whites
One 16-ounce box golden pound cake mix
1/3 cup water

Filling
2 teaspoons very hot water
rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups marshmallow creme (one 7-ounce jar)
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1. Preheat the oven to 325° F.
2. Fold each piece of aluminum foil in half twice. Wrap the folded foil around the spice bottle to create a mold. Leave the top of the mold open for pouring in the batter. Make ten of these molds and arrange them on a cookie sheet or in a shallow pan. Grease the inside of each mold with a light coating of nonstick spray.

3. Disregard the directions on the box of cake mix. Instead, beat the egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl combine cake mix with water, and beat until throroughly blended (about 2 minutes). Fold egg whites into cake batter, and slowly combine until completely mixed.

4. Pour the batter into the molds, filling each one about 3/4 inch. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.

5. For the filling, combine the salt with the hot water in a small bowl and stir until salt is dissolved. Let this mixture cool.

6. Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy.

7. Add the salt solution to the filling mixture and combine.

8. When the cakes are done and cooled, use a toothpick to make three small holes in the bottom of each one. Move the toothpick around the inside of each cake to create space for the filling.

9. Using a cake decorator or pastry bag, inject each cake with filling through all three holes.
