Another win

[faithellen]

Yesterday, I discovered that I was a winner in the SC Johnson Clean Home Journal sweepstakes.

I got a book of coupons and a double zipper Ziploc bag (quart size).

Somebody pinch me. :)

A bag? Could this be for real????


*pinches you*

Is it still there???

[faithellen]

It is!! It MUST be for reals!!

[elizagoth.livejournal.com]

You can hold it, and love it, and call it George!

[faithellen]

Or I can put pudding in it, and hold it upside down!

Mmmm. Pudding. ::goes off to scavenge pantry::

[elizagoth.livejournal.com]

I like this pudding idea of yours. Mind if I borrow it?

[faithellen]

Not at all! Especially if you bring me some, because all I found was Jell-O. :( I think I need to buy some of those premade pudding cups or something.

[elizagoth.livejournal.com]

Those cups are great, especially if you like the texture of cooked pudding but the convenience of no effort. ;)

Otherwise, if you have cornstarch, you can make a fast cooked pudding that is YUM! (I've spoiled myself on Jell-O Instant Pudding since learning to make stove top pudding off the side of the cornstarch box years ago... Hot chocolate pudding is so good!)

I'm thinking though... that dirt pudding thing, with oreos. We're doing French Dip sammiches tonight with oven fries, might as well make it a low brow dessert as well!

...and judge by the way that you squeal?

[faithellen]

OMG, I had a stress dream about IOC last night. Lyric forgetting aplenty; you and Jill were replaced by Steph; Dana and Glenn kept emerging from belowdecks and then running back down and slamming the door; and I think someone/all of us were wanted by the police and kept having to evade them.

[pyratelady.livejournal.com]

I've never had a stress dream about IOC, those dreams are always about the Pyrates. (go figure) I used to have a recurring dream about being chased by the police -- it was never exactly the same dream, but they were always chasing me for something that I hadn't done. I would run and run, and hide, and run...

The police were probably after us for crimes against art and/or fashion, and for singing naughty stuff that could corrupt young minds.

I'm pretty sure we corrupt older minds as well. I'm just sayin'. The collective force of heaving breasts is a force to be reckoned with.
(Breasts heaving as we inhale for another song, of course.)

*takes notes*

Crimes of passion it is then... ;-)

::snerk:: Yeah, dreams are for fiction, and my penchant for losing lyrics is *real*.

:)

BTW, Steph?

[faithellen]

One third of the Bawdy Balladeers, half of Women of Whimsey -- I met her when I was two. She was my matron of honor.

[mydwynter.livejournal.com]

Ah-hah. Yes, I know who you are talking about now.

Now if you'd won *two* bags, you could have made ice-cream!

[faithellen]

There is some magic ice-cream making technique that uses bags? I have an ice cream maker that I seldom use (and not now because I gave it up for Lent)...must find that recipe for Sunni...

[cozit.livejournal.com]

You use the inside bag to hold the ingredients (the double seal is helpful there, BTW)... and the outer holds the inside bag and the ice and salt.

Then have fun throwing it, or whatever, keeping it moving... and you'll have ice-cream before long.

Um... 3 bags is even better... gives the tosser not only a bit of air insulation, but also one more preventative from the inner bags splitting and their ingredients scattering.

The Brownie troop used that method last year, and had a ball making their treat :-)

Of course, you could always get one of those "ice-cream maker ball" thingies.. and teach the pup how to push it around all over the place and mix the ice-cream for you :-)
