And we wonder why people are living so much longer! It isn't better medicine, it's all those preservatives we eat every day! They're pickling our innards! LOL

Gulp! I just had a heaping spoonful of Cool Whip (the no fat variety, of course!) on my Sugar Free Black Cherry Jello last night...

you mean to tell moi, that blob of Cool Whip is still sittin' in the bottom of Leopard Woman's belly right now?

Sheesh! Now I have nothing seemingly sinful to look forward to and yet, Dear Kat, if it has that many preservatives, perhaps a facial with Cool Whip or a full bod massage in Cool Whip will end my quest for the Fountain of Youth - anybody up for pie-ing LW?

Hah! Loved your comments, Little Darlin'.

Brought back memories of my elementary school days.

I used to do experiments in my classrooms all the time, too. The kids' fave was when someone lost a tooth (which happened frequently as I taught combo grades 1st-2nd; 2nd-3rd; k-4th, etc.) - after the Fang Fairy visited - a kid would plop their tooth into a glass of Croakacola.

In a matter of days their little tooth had decayed and eroded away. That made the kids really understand the power of sugar and they began to drink more water rather than pop.

Hm, that reminds me of my restaurant management days! We used to have to replace the drain lines from the soda machine every once in a while, as the coke would eat away the pipes over time! Imagine what it does to your innards!

I was in Millis the other day...and thought of you...my fire dept. went to the Millis muster Parade..it was a good turn out!! I thought that when we get to our goal weights...that we could TALK the gang on the forum to COME TO Mass...where we could do our own MEDIFAST commercial...send it in, become famous...RICH..and buy a string of houses along the North Shore (I love the Glouester/Rockport/CapeAnn area) and start our own little Medifast Village...where all the resturaunts you go to prepares only dishes we can eat...will serve our shakes to us..any style, any flavor...prepare our soups...and we can all SHAKE HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!

HaHaHa...we really would need to strike it rich to get people to move here to taxachussettes!!
Great job your doin...youll be dancin like spider man in no time!!

Tamil, that sounds like fun, a Medivillage in MA. I have fond feelings for MA, myself -- lived in Pepperill for awhile in '78/79 and at Ft. Devens again a couple of years later. Going back for about a day's visit over Columbus Day, as a matter of fact. A shorter trip than I really wanted, as Significant Other bought the wrong $39 fare so that we arrive like 8:30 Saturday evening and leave like 6:30 Monday morning!! LOL!! But we will go see what we can, like the Aquarium for my son, and some farm markets I used to like in Groton area, etc... I'll be feasting on the sights and the memories, if nothing else.

TamiL - Argh! I wish I'd known, we could have hoisted a frosty mug of Dutch Chocolate together! (I mean the MF Dutch Chocolate, not a scoop of our OWN precious DC!)

LOL

Ok,
I have to ask - how do you manage to fry a snickers bar? Doesn't it melt?

[SusannaRosannaDanna]

LOL--My understanding is that it is frozen solid, then breaded/battered and dropped in hot grease--by the time the breading is cooked, the bar is thawed and gooey but not liquified.

[Carrie]

a breaded snickers? That really does sound gross, and I never thought I would apply the word 'gross' to anything that involved chocolate!

[LongWay2go]

All I can say is...YUCK!!!

-Spidey

[DutchChoc]

Hey, Spidey. I have been one scoop of a full deck lately and I think you surreptitiously hoisted it, lol? I missed this earlier. Glad you're back and hope it was a good weekend, well, as good as it could be with the damper of the bad news, etc.

Is this fun, or what?

[LongWay2go]

DC-

One "scoop"? Is that an ice cream reference! LOL

-Spidey

[DutchChoc]

Yeah, I was kinda mixing metaphors -- wanted to say one scoop short of a full load, but somehow that sounded more trepidatious. (sp?).

My frosty dutch choc shake has to do for now. Actually, I'm crazy about them, and that's very fortunate. No ice cream on the horizon.

[LongWay2go]

Those frosty shakes are every bit as good as ice cream anyway! In case you missed it early on in my posts, I bought one of those soda fountain style shake mixers when I started. With carpal tunnel in both wrists and a torn rotator cuff in both shoulders, shaking anything is painful. So I make my shakes with 6 oz of water and 3 ice cubes. I mix for about 1 minute, then let it "rest" for a minute. The result is VERY similar to a real ice cream shake. Man, is that satisfying! I feel like I'm cheating every time I have a shake! LOL

-Gerald

[DutchChoc]

Right - I do about the same with my blender, but it isn't specialized like yours. It tastes like a fudgesicle to me, not to pop that idea into anybody's head. Have a dutch choc shake instead, lol. I also sweeten with a sweetner packet. I fairly well like the orange pineapple prepared the same way - it seems like an Orange Julius some what then, although I don't think I ever had a real one. Just what I think it would be like.....
