JustErin said:

Not much to tell.

I have a computer.
I live on earth.
I like babies and Toblerone, tho not in the same dish.

And I am currently fascinated as to why there are 2 choices for the whistle smiley.



Was one just not enough for you people?!?!?

lamest. payback. ever. if you call that "payback", i can totally imagine laughing at your infantile idea of "revenge".

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Okay cool...they are just plain white now

Just for you-

oldpurple said:

I know, i know. I feel a little bad about doing that now. As i said i can't help myself sometimes. She must feel like she has been on a rollercoaster or something.

missfee said:

Exactly. Even though it wasn't a really nice thing to do. At the time it felt great. I feel a little bad now though.

Spats said:

I dunno, I prefer them in chocolate brown. Like these.

i just had a tractor tire donut



it was DELICIOUS!!


has anyone else had these?

you're an ass. the jokes on you spats. the babe had a great time last weekend.

something said:

These things are so moist. They are called Honey Cruellers (sp?) here.

JustErin said:

yeah, i'd never actually heard them called tractor tires, but that's what the local bakery calls them. everywhere else i've seen them they're cruellers.


it fits though, doesn't it!

JustErin said:

you get an a+ for spelling. sometimes they're dipped to give chocolate or vanilla topping

purplerein said:

have you had any good donuts lately?

something said:

It is. That's exactly what they look like.

JustErin said:

Come on, Erin. Please don't ignore. I don't ignore you.

something said:

for a good year, I was hooked on Krispy kremes....two each morning..i gained 14 lbs

Spats said:

i also love the donuts with the little brown crumbly bits on them. i think they're called gem donuts? does anyone know what the brown crumbly bits are?

purplerein said:

i like donuts, but too many and i start to feel sick.

something said:

snips and snails and puppy dog tails?

purplerein said:

again

Ok, up time!

something said:

12 cups popped popcorn in a large bowl (plastic works better than metal)
(remove the duds and half popped hard shit - you don't want anyone to break a tooth)

in a medium sized saucepan
over medium high heat

melt 1/4 or 1/3 cup margarine
add 1/2 cup granulated sugar
and 1/2 cup white corn syrup
dash of salt
splash of vanilla (or a sprinkling of koolaid mix )
1/2 tsp of cream of tartar

keep stirring, let it boil for a minute or so
you know it's ready when it starts to fall off the spoon a little thicker

remove from heat
add 1/2 tsp baking soda
mixture will froth and double in size

pour over popcorn and mix thoroughly
grease hands and form into balls

if you use brown sugar and golden corn syrup
you will get carmel colored balls

if you boil too long your balls will be rock hard
too short they won't stick together well
so you might have to try a few batches till you get it right
