Sometimes you need to throw a brick, hints don't work. I'll dig it up later.

Are you ready for the very difficult and time consuming cake recipe?

Remove from heat. pour in the sugar mixture and vanilla extract and stir until frosting is smooth and satiny. Frost cake immediately.


If you use premium ice cream you'll need 1 pint I used Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia.

OOOOHHHHHHH this is my kinda recipe girlfriend!!!!

Yup it was so difficult I had to go lay down on the couch. I think this recipe will be my new cake when I have to make one. I can change the favor with the ice cream. I also bought oatmeal cookie crunch from Ben & Jerry. That should make a wonderful cake. I hope you have that brand by you, it is my fav.

 

[TigerKat]

Janice - What flavors of ice cream have you tried with this and what do you think would be good?????

 

[HERSEY]

So far I've only used Ben & Jerry is that brand available?
I've used Cherry Garcia, tomorrow I'm making a cake again for some neighborhood friends to celebrate Alex's birthday again I think I'm going to use Karmel Sutra or Creme Brulee or Strawberry chesecake. I think any flavor would be good. It is like Glynis' muffin recipe it's fun to experiment.

You read my mind, I was thinking about Glynis' warm winter cake recipe. Yep, we've got Ben & Jerry's here, I think. I'm not a big ice cream person. Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Actually it doesn't need the frosting. I just poured alittle on the cake so it dripped down. This frosting is not overpowering.

If you use lemon ice cream just make sure it is not lemon sorbet or sherbet.

Thanks! This looks like something even I can bake!

Hey Aimee, anything I can bake you can bake. I AM NOT a baker!

I was so proud tonight. I was home and feeling very domestic so I made DH a lemon cake (his favorite) with lemon icing.

It was a box mix (add oil and egg) and a tub of lemon icing. Turned out great!

 

[Aimeedyan]

Oh - my fried rice turned out delicious! My DH, who rarely tosses out compliments, took a bite and said 'this fried rice is good!'

I used the recipe from this thread by someone... shrimp fried rice. Very easy and delicious! Quick, too!

I also grilled up asian chicken wings. I'm so thankful I finally learned how to use that grill. Makes cooking so much easier! It was a marinade of soy, brown sugar, and white wine. Maybe from here too...?

Today we are going to The Olive Garden and to a movie.

WFD at your house?

Whatever my Mother makes me and brings over. I think I have pneumonia and dh and ds are going to "the hunting camp" tonight (thank God for small miracles!) so my Mom said she'd bring me dinner.

I hope you start to feel better soon. You should get yourself to the doctor to find out for sure. Pneumonia is nothing to play with.

 

[HERSEY]

I think we are going out for dinner.
I work today, also it dark and gloomy oh did I mention cold. I should be in WDW again

I was playing around with my points yesterday wondering if I could swing it.

I went to the Doctor on Thursday and he gave me a prescription for a sinus infection but said not to fill it (he wanted me to try nasal sprays and irrigation first) but I am DEFINATELY sicker and it has moved to my chest- it's killing me to cough and I'm coughing stuff up. My dh just took the rx to the pharmacy and my Mom is going to pick it up for me. I'd like a nice creamy macaroni and cheese for dinner, my ultimate comfort food!!

 

[HERSEY]

Mermaid02 I hope Mom's Mac & Cheese does the trick.

 

[TigerKat]

Whatever my Mother makes me and brings over. I think I have pneumonia and dh and ds are going to "the hunting camp" tonight (thank God for small miracles!) so my Mom said she'd bring me dinner.

I hope the mac and cheese works. Please take care of yourself, good thing your Mom is there to take care of you.

I get excited when I succeed at boxed mixes too!!

WFD tonight - Emeril's shrimp and potato stew and romaine salad with roasted tomato dressing. YUMMO!!!!!

I was playing around with my points yesterday wondering if I could swing it.

This is really the best kept secret Janice. Having those points gets us to wondering if we can swing an extra little trip here and there and before we know it, we are thinking about adding on points. Seriously, last spring's extra "little" trip for me was just what the doctor ordered.

Last night I made the basil scallops I already posted here. Tonight Kenny and I are going out.

Aimee just wanted to tell you my guys loved the BBQ chicken with hashbrowns. What was left DH took for lunch.

 

[ugadog99]

Tonight we are having Carrielee's Chicken Salad (she likes to make it for us), German Potato Salad, deviled eggs,and fruit. Tomorrow it will be Glynis's pot roast, potatoes, carrots, and onions, and black eyed peas. We'll eat off the two meals for most of the week.

Oooh, I am so glad! It's one of DH's favorites.

 

[liamandcaili]

Oh no! I would have thought the same way you did, like cupcakes - bigger & better. That's one I'll have to remember. I'm sure everyone will love them anyway!!

I saw several kids with them, and I didn't hear any complaints, so I'm guessing they were fine.

Janice, I'd like the oreo brownie recipe too. Your ice cream cake sounds great

Whatever my Mother makes me and brings over. I think I have pneumonia and dh and ds are going to "the hunting camp" tonight (thank God for small miracles!) so my Mom said she'd bring me dinner.

I hope you feel better soon! What antibiotic did you get for the sinus infection? If you do have pneumonia, you might need something stronger.

The kids and I are going to my parents' house after Liam's soccer game. I think she is making Cornell chicken. Tomorrow, we are going apple picking and to a homemade ice cream stand for sundaes as big as our heads. Well, actually, just one sundae. The kids and I will share, and we probably won't be able to finish it. It is really that big.
