[mr.mike]

hey....so...I was talking to my CM friend last night and she had never had a Wicked Whoopie...

I've seen you talk about them but I've never heard of them either.
What exactly is it?

MIKE!! You are from up in Wicked Whoopie country!!!! I cannot believe you don't know about them either!!! Vonnie is from NJ and I thought for sure she'd have eaten her faire share of Whoopie pies....

OMG..they are decadent....my favorite is the oatmeal...two gooey soft oatmeal cookies sandwiched around thick butter cream frosting type stuff....like what is in an Oreo only more frostingish....

here's the link....my mouth is watering.....

http://www.wickedwhoopies.com

They have MANY different varieties...and if you're super hungry a JUMBO 5lb Classic Whoopie.


They freeze beautifully, too.....I know...i have a freezer full....

They are HORRIBLE for you though....luckily the oatmeal variety is a tad lower in fat and calories.

 

[arbonnette]

OMG ... Channing, you are evil with those photos.
Mike, those things beckon me and I have not ever had one ... I wonder how many WW points they have ...

 

[Alicnwondrln]

wicked whoopies is in Maine by me
they are awesome

 

[PrincessPaczki]

OMGosh!! I have to order them now. They look so good! Thanks Mr. Mike for asking what they were, I didn't know either. But boy am I glad that I do now!!

Welll I happend to catch another episode of "Unwrapped" last night....

Now I want to try Cheerwine....cherry soda..and Blue Bell? Icecream..only found in like 16 southern states.....GEEZE...we have nothing that good in boring old IL.

Well the oatmeal are lower in calories and fat. Almost health food.



Really...you don't want to know. I ate a raspberry cream one last night and the other part this morning....it was sooo good...but I didn't look at the label. Ignorance was bliss.

Blue Bell ice cream is very yummy. They have flavors like banana pudding and birthday cake, plus all the regular ones. Mmmm, ice cream.

 

[praline3001]

i think i am going to be ill just from the picture

anyone know how many calories or sugar grams are in one of those.... just for giggles for me LOL

i love finding out about stuff like that so i can stick my nose up to it and pretend I would never put one to my lips


on a side note the chocolate place on main st had sugar free PB cups this time woooohooo they had a lot of sugar free chocolate!!!! it was sooo yummy I almost pulled a chair up to the que line and not move all day

I have a big bowl of blue bell every night! B-day cake is yummy but I like chunky ice cream!

 

[Tinker*Shell*Bell]

Wicked Whoopies are made about 30 minutes from my house, and every little convenience story and candy shop around sells them...they are sinfully delicious! The trick is to pay for the gas in the truck without buying any!!!

And Brook, turn your nose up girl, thses things would kill you. 700 calories in a whole chocolate whoopie pie (it says 1 is 2 servings...but who eats half of something that good?) and sugars? You don't want to know. Enough to put non-diabetic me into a diabetic coma!!!

 

[Alicnwondrln]

good morning all

 

[princessesrule4]

Good Morning GF Gals! Thanks for all the "welcome backs" by the way!

I'm looking away from the Whoopie Pies!

I was going to post this on the FAQ but I didn't want to add to the chit -chat controversy!

One of the bath bombs I liked was Calm Waters -its very moisturizing! It has sea oat pieces in it so there will be some floating around with you! My DD thought it was hilarious for some reason! I used a green one which I think is lime sugar. It was nice but not quite as moisturizing as the Calm Waters.

 

[Lives4Disney]

Hellooooooooooo

So you guys like my Whoopie pics? Yep...Sheli is right...over 700 calories and fat....soemthing like 30-38 grams....sickening.

That was a BAD move on my part to order them. I took Sheli's advice and froze the whole bunch. I did forget about them even, until I was talking to V about them. After that I NEEDED one.

If you do want to order them, they come packaged and wrapped SO prettily. THey do make a fun food gift. I was WOWED when I opened the box.

Brook...that is great about the Sugar Free chocolates!! That had to make your day finding those.

I missed "Unwrapped" last night...it's become my little tv addiction!! I find out about such great stuff I am missing out on!

Crappy day here today....maybe I will start packing. I think I am gonna have to turn the AC on...rainy and 86 - ICK!

("Chatter warning" SEVERE CHATTER AHEAD BEWARE)OMG...I am so embarrassed ....so I was talking to V last night on the phone and she had to keep putting me on hold due to guests etc...fine...but then she came back and said she has to go people were sitting there...ALL of a sudden as she's telling me this...Lucy comes SCREAMING into the office ehre yelling about having the big D (can't spell it) and how Dad is mad at her becuase she had to go (really vs cleaning up the kitchen which she ditched out on)....I mean SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was a total brat because she stayed up all night at a slumber party the night before......omg! I just laughed and said to V "OMG they found me"...and we said bye...but I am soooo embarrassed....she must think my family it TOTALLY crazy. I mean...ok so we are , but we usually don't spew it to the world. Lucy just didn't know I was on the phone.

Well.....I am sure I will talk to ya all later,
Chan

Ok, so my swimsuits arrived early this morning ... and I am in a crappy mood because I am not eating as much fat as I used to, and I CAN'T SLEEP!
So that white and black one with the belt I showed y'all is SO amazing on my stomach, hips, and but, BUT no underwire and so the girls look sad. It has to go back.
OMG. Hannah is using a pink boa tucked into her undies like a kitty tale and coming in here to tell me how mad she is using no words, only facial expressions and saying "meow meow meow" in a tone that let's me know she is not pleased I am on the computer. I know that probably does not translate well over the computer, but I am LMAO.
Anyway, back to the suits. I am keeping the navy blue tunic top from LE with the chain link printed swim skirt. I usually don't like swim skirts, but i am thinking this combo will be so easy and covering to take Hannah on the beach and in the pool, no worries about tummy peeking out or bikini line being exposed. Sorry if that's TMI!

I need to get packing and errand running as well!
Chan, what is the big D? Diarrhea?

Heehee.
Have a fantabulous day, everyone!
- Andrea

 

[Lives4Disney]

Andrea..Hannah sounds like a riot. SHe has ATTITUDE!

YES the big D....Lucy hollared at the top of her lungs from about 5 ft away from the phone receiver that she has Diarreah....(it was the convenient kind that comes only when you're asked to do work) She was just out of control yesterday....she needs her sleep. My husband was like..."huh?"...he was just lost.

I think the navy suit you're keeping sounds cute. I bet it is. What happened with the custom top? That is too bad about the Spiegel suit. BUMMER...I hate when that happens.

I just ordered myself MORE trip clothes and had to use the 2 day shipping....OMG...this is a sickness. haha....I can't decide so I just keep ordering MORE. MORE to be undecided about, really.

Talk to ya later!!

Channing

 

[mr.mike]

MIKE!! You are from up in Wicked Whoopie country!!!! I cannot believe you don't know about them either!!! Vonnie is from NJ and I thought for sure she'd have eaten her faire share of Whoopie pies....

I swear I've never heard or seen them but OMG they look good!!!

I want to try the Vanilla one.
Maybe I'll order some for a BBQ we are planning for my daighters softball team this summer.

 

[praline3001]

Chan your not the only one with kids who do stuff like that

I am sure V didnt think you were nuts just because of that phone call.... i mean seriously she knows you in real life very well

she probably has LONG ago decided you were a nutcase

 

[arbonnette]

The custom one piece LE one didn't come yet. I didn't use 2 day shipping on that one for some reason ... I have a feeling it will be going back as well. Now that I have discovered that I may like swimskirts, I don't know if I can do a regular bottom ever again!!! This is coming from a person who spent her entire childhood in the pool, swimming year round ... How things change! Lol.

Now that I know the actual calories and fat for the whoopies. I am done with the dreaming. Maybe I could split it four ways ... Hmmm.

Yay, we converted you!

They are my best friend! Great for a non frumpy mom-of- 4- kids suit! I have skinny friends that wear em! They cover my stretch mark and big white thighs!
