Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[ottawamom]

Turns out I don't like them. The kids do and are happy I bought them so that's good. It must be the way I'm making them. To me they come out too dry... I prefer my cakes on the moist side. Maybe I need to add more milk than it calls for? I tried dropping the microwave time down but that didn't work.

Any ideas what I can do?

Chocolate chips, depending on the flavour of the mix, bits of fruit.

I would add a little bit of oil, butter or even give it a center filling like nutella or peanut butter

I use water and the lowest cooking time suggested. They seem to come out ok.

I'll try those suggests next time I make them. Thanks!

Now that we have a Shell near our house, I've been making good use of their fall offers. I am now getting the 100 bonus miles after 4 25+L fill ups! Plus the 100 bonus miles offer on the website right now. And, I earn 13 miles each time I fill my tank and hubby earned 28 miles today with his work truck. And they post so quickly, which is nice!

I got this again as well. Got it last year and I have to tell you, we really utilized it. We put in $10 at a time, if we needed a full tank we would stop at $10 and then just do it again. Works really well and its a great bonus.

It's been months since I've got an offer from Shell. Wondering if they've forgotten about me.

Do you need to sign up with shell to get these offers? Or do they come direct from airmiles?

OT - Pumpkin carved, snack bars in a basket, cheesies in another ready to hand out (remember all those Quaker bars you bought weeks ago). Happy Halloween everyone. It's pouring rain here but it should stop in time for the trick or treaters.

Fingers crossed the rain stops! Supposed to be done by 4:30 so still time. Kiddo is excited. So excited he had an upset tummy at school and HAD to come home... I debate between not letting him go out, which punishes both of us (since I get all the chocolate) and just letting him do it...

Granola bars are ready to go.

I got a Shell offer, fill up 4 times (25L+ each time) in November and get 100 AM. I'm happy since it will be easy to do. I didn't fill up today and was planning to do it tomorrow.

Funny - just got an email from Shell for November - my card only, not my wife's. Maybe it will come too. Guess they didn't forget about me!

This is how we handle Halloween in the Duck Pond ....

 

[juniorbugman]

All trick or treating at my house. I have 4 blowup Halloween items outside, and since real pumpkins were such a good deal this year I have 6 carved pumpkins out there as well. All the bags of candy are ready to shell out to the children. Let's just hope the rainy drizzle stops.

 

[dancin Disney style]

The kids started coming to my door at 6:05. That’s got to be a new record. So far all little ones. I’ve got enough candy and loot bags for 150 but a good 2/3 are gone already.

 

[Spotthecat]

For the first time in forever it's not raining in Toronto on Halloween! My 3 kiddos have stayed out longer than ever before. And those granola bars are going fast lots of kids this year!

 

[hdrolfe]

We did great, got lots of loot. Came home to two of the apple granola bars left, the rest were gone! Hopefully not all to the same kid lol. I'm not sure we got as much as in previous years but we did a different street with his friends. Glad the rain let up! There were not a lot of kids out though. We were out from 6 to almost 8.

 

[kuhltiffany]

We “top” ours, caramel/chocolate sauce,whipped cream or put ice cream on when it’s hot and let it melt...

Only my card has been getting the offers, not DH.

 

[ottawamom]

Meant to post this in the other Airmiles thread.

Lowest kid turn out so far. Three groups totalling 11 kids! Guess I didn’t need the two huge boxes of chocolates plus a big teal pumpkin full of non-food treats.

 

[Disney Addicted]

Oh my gosh that is low. I thought our courtyard was low but a neighbour said she counts every year and it was higher than last. Last time I talked with her last night it was around 60 kids.

What were your non-food treats?
