Next came the whisky sticks that we fell in love with when
we used to go visit Eva and her family. These are stick pretzels, coated with a
mixture of butter, brown sugar, garlic, cayenne pepper and baked – oh my
they’re good!
Then Mollie and friend made a cake – I’m sure this cake has
a name, but I don’t know it. I think I’ll just call it ‘Nick’s going to have to
get the damn cane out for this' cake. It
adds pounds by simply being in my house! It’s a German chocolate mix in a 9 x
13 dish. When it came out still hot she poured on can of sweetened condensed
milk and a bottle of caramel sauce. Are your teeth hurting from the sweet yet?
Once it cooled she iced it with cool whip and topped it with crushed Heath
bars.
Not wanting to be left out completely I made cookies –
homemade from scratch I tell you! I even used baking powder. I had to have
Mollie’s friend bring it from her house because rarely have cause to have it in
my house. It was a cookie/brownie cookie and I used white chocolate chips in
them, very good if I do say so myself.
All this was before Mollie made three cheese stuffed shells
with meat sauce for supper, which we ate with garlic bread.
I also managed to injure myself during all this activity, it’s
my back or shoulder blade. It feels like I pinched something. I think it’s a
vicious cooking injure. I’ll know to avoid this activity in the future. It hurts
when I turn certain ways, reach down for something, turn over in the bed or
even take a deep breath. I don’t like it one bit.
With all this food in the house, you might realize my
Friday weigh in might not be the best. I haven’t been recording each Friday as
I’m supposed to. I’ve been telling Nick, “Let’s wait until the New Year.” Okay,
now what?
That food sounds so good! Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteLeah, It was great.
DeleteI feel full just reading about all the food... or that could be because I just ate. LOL Sounds like your sweet tooth will have no reason not to be satisfied, that is for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope the stitch in your back eases soon, those are never fun. Could be gas maybe also?

Es May,
DeleteWay too much food! I think the back is a little better today.
Hmm...you meant the first full week of the New Year????
ReplyDeletehugs abby
Abby,
DeleteI got an email from Nick today - I think my time is up!
Oh goodness PK...my tummy is hurting just reading about all that food!
ReplyDeleteLOL...a "vicious cooking injury"? Seriously...get thee to a doctor asap...you don't want to end up like me or Ami with a frozen shoulder or like my mom with a rotator cuff injury.
I agree with Abby...your 2014 weigh-in should be for the first complete week of 2014. :D
Blessings...
Cat
Cat, I will know to stay away from cooking in the future. It is more of a stitch in my back, nothing hurt when I move my arm at all. It's getting better.
DeleteOMG, all that stuff sounds way too sinful. How about putting off Friday weigh ins until Mollie heads back to school.
ReplyDeleteStart working that shoulder or whatever and don't let it freeze up.
Leigh,
DeleteThe way things are going maybe I need to wait until February!
Don't weigh in yet! Wait until you have an entire week of healthful eating under your belt!
ReplyDeleteThe food sounds decadently yummy!
Oh Minelle, I may not have had a whole week of healthy eating in my life! I have a funny feeling Nick is planning to do something about this.
DeleteOops PK. I am weighing myself every day and over Christmas no gain. AFTER Christmas oh dear, too much everything. I have started writing down exactly what I eat and John looks at the end of each day and writes me a message. Consequences will be in my future after the family have gone at the weekend I reckon. Why is it so hard to lose it and so bleeping easy to put it on?
ReplyDeleteI would have loved that cake though. My mum used to eat condensed milk straight from the tin with a spoon!! No wonder she has false teeth lol
love Jan.x
Jan,
DeleteDon't give Nick any ideas. I got an interesting email from him today. I think consequences may be coming my way and I'm unsure how I feel.
Oh my goodness PK, my mouth is watering reading this! It all sounds so yummy, especially the cake! It sounds like a wonderful time spent together. A lovely way to ring in the new year.
ReplyDeletevicious cooking injury LoL. I hope it feels better soon.
Hugs,
Roz
Roz,
DeleteI'll leave the cooking to the professional in the future - I don't mind being a spectator (or taster). That cake was to die for! Unfortunately, it may also be one to be spanked for.
yum! :-) would love to know how to make the pretzel sticks... Hugs
ReplyDeleteTerps, I think she just googled whiskey sticks. But I'll see if she knows which one she used.
DeletePK,
ReplyDeletejust reading this raised my blood sugars by twenty points. LOL!
If that pain doesn't clear up soon, hie thee to a Chiropractor.
Love and warm hugs,
Paul.
Paul,
DeleteI should have warned you before you read! The stitch in my back seems to be getting better.
Send the cake to me:)
ReplyDeleteKeep on eye on that shoulder.
Love,
Ronnie
xx
Ronnie,
DeleteI wish I could, I need it out of my house.
Ooh I've had that cake...my friend calls it better than sex cake
ReplyDeleteJodi,
DeleteNot quite - but it's darn good!
Adjust the scale before weigh in
ReplyDeleteHow about I rip the battery out!
DeleteI've gained 10 pounds just reading this!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
