Mom, I don't remember that incident, or the cake, but we left Zion when I was 7, so maybe that's why?<br /><br />I'm happy to report that the shirt looks possibly salvageable - Georgia is right about Dawn - that's my go-to for oily stains. I guess it makes sense that Dawn cleans up food stains well, considering it was made for washing dishes. <br /><br />Comparatively, today was pretty uneventful, thank goodness!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02480853709492521200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010626472834900402.post-77958487637542407372009-12-03T20:40:51.640-07:002009-12-03T20:40:51.640-07:00Poor thing...I hope the rest of the week is better...Poor thing...I hope the rest of the week is better for you!Amy Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00405915657362163332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010626472834900402.post-25287296837798857292009-12-03T09:42:49.311-07:002009-12-03T09:42:49.311-07:00Murphy's Law. Glad you got the door back on t...Murphy's Law. Glad you got the door back on the oven and your lasagne was good.<br /><br />Try dawn and a scrub brush on the sweater and washing on a long setting with hot water, if you shrink it, its ruined anyway. I spilled about half a bottle of cooking oil on my good jeans one year camping - then let them set a week until we got home. The oil came out with dawn and a hot wash.<br /><br />Glad your jars did not break, that would have been a mess to clean up and probably some clean pants.<br /><br />Take care,<br />GeorgiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010626472834900402.post-88703673620506946252009-12-03T07:58:40.610-07:002009-12-03T07:58:40.610-07:00Darlin' Daughter,
Do you remember when I made...Darlin' Daughter,<br /><br />Do you remember when I made the bunny rabbit cake when we lived in Zion? You bake a 9x13 cake, trim 2 pieces about 1 1/2 inches wide across the narrow end, put them on for ears, then frost like a bunny face and put on coconut, jelly beans for eyes and mouth and licorice for whiskers.<br /><br />That day, I mixed up a cake mix, put it in the oven, 25 minutes later, it was still batter. The oven had heated up, turned off and didn't turn back on because the thermocouple was shot. Dad and Don (his boss) went and got one and fixed it. Threw out that cake and mixed up another one.<br /><br />This time it worked so well it sort of burned around the edges. SO----I opened a can of ready-made frosting (it was in a metal can in those days), sliced my thum to the bone and bled all over the kitchen, but not the cake!!!<br /><br />Bud sent me to the clinic to get a tetanus shot. When I came back, the pieces for the ears had somehow shrunk to about 2 inches long, everybody claimed innocence, so I proceeded to make the ugliest and costliest bunny cake in history, plus, had a sore thumb for weeks and was REALLY mad at the cake and the grown men who I believe ate most of the ears or at least fed them to you kids.<br /><br />Well, to make a long story longer, we ate the darned cake and I never made another bunny cake. <br /><br />It just keeps on happening, doesn't it?<br /><br />Love to all,<br />Granny LadybugAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010626472834900402.post-63316443164208268352009-12-03T02:17:14.115-07:002009-12-03T02:17:14.115-07:00Auntie Marsha from KY says hello.

Anyhoo, all the stupid human tricks can be attributed to one thing, this month has two full moons, one on the 3rd, as you have learned, by the added clumsiness and stupidity, and one on the 30th, which actually allows you to say "once in a blue moon" (two in one calender month). so try to throw that into a conversation frequently, chickens and Mr. Morton would be good to try it out on.<br />SO as for:<br />1. You're really lucky the oven worked again.<br />2. Butter gremlins like to work that way.<br />3.Throw the blue shirt away. <br /> Don't be like Grandma C. and try to frugal it.<br />4.Don't run OR clip with scissors during a full moon.<br />5.Never try to tie a bow between Thanksgiving and Christmas, it's just not in our genes.<br />6.We are the ONLY family that can successfully fall UP stairs, but our lovely natural added padding, (which also makes us so hot, we run through the house stripping off layers of clothes after minimal physcal activity) usually saves most of the breakables.<br />So, LOVE to you and yours, give O. a great big KY hug and kiss, and enjoy your mountain retreat.<br />Hey, did I just do a Christmas greeting thingy?<br />XOXOXO, Auntie MarshaAuntie Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759580012334931618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010626472834900402.post-44644045288657768692009-12-03T01:39:16.838-07:002009-12-03T01:39:16.838-07:00"managed to somehow tie my own finger AND the..."managed to somehow tie my own finger AND the camera strap in the square knot" that is hilarious and pop came out my nose, at work.Vicki B.noreply@blogger.com
