So u order and begin eating before the movie starts

and they give u a buzzer and u buzz the server

if you need n e thing during the movie.

 

Love the concept but it would really tight if…

 

~DREAMMODE~

 they had nifty snax like cotton candy and rootbeer floats.

And the servers wore old timey movie usher outfits..

Ahh..only in my dreams…

This CD is on replay over and over and over in my car. 

I feel like “Little Toy Gun“ is something out of a Tarantino movie.

“Kid, I don’t play..I just crush all u suckas on tha low..”

 This totally gets stuck in your head!!!

Makes me want to watch House Party

I still, to this day, LOVE that movie! 

This shit makes me want to coordinate a dance routine

with someone so that when I am out dancing…

we can just break it out.  Ya!!

 

I want to rock sum 90’s, NOT, Bill Cosby, sweaters

and tights this winter. 

I saw sum at the GWill but… I hesitated. 

We’ll give it a shot.  Hopefully it doesn’t look mad crazy.

 

SIDENOTE:  I hope somebody throws a party like this

or a tacky Xmas Sweater Party.

So the other nite my ghetto-fabulous friendos and I were lounging about… having an impromptu mini (becz I love everything in small form) campfire..using the decorative candle on the kitchen table and the miniest of marshmallows.  Ironically, it had all started when I had said how much I had enjoyed roasting marshmallows and we quickly remembered we had a bag from our (also impromptu) Christmas in July night.  So we grabbed sum forx n roasted them up! 

Small + toasted=Goodz! 

But it got me thinking about what other marshmallows fun u could have…

 

1.  CAMPFIRE PEEPS!

(I’ve yet to try Campfire Peeps..but..soon..)

 

2. Play wrubbby brunnaa…Imean..Chubby Bunny

Makes me think of the Taco Man skit

..”If I had to choose between the tacos and the mail…”

 

I personally would choose the tacos..

Yummmm! Eye Scream!!

Posted by: sparklemag on: June 27, 2009

Homemade

Mint Chocolate Chip 

Eye Scream

 

I have never made homemade ice cream

so I thought I’d give it a try.

 

Sooo..u get a lil zip bag and u fill w?

 

- BASIC-

  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk or half & half
  •  

  • MINT CHOCO :
  • 1/4 peppermint
  • two drops green food coloring
  •  

    and you get a BIG zip and

    fill 1/2 way with ice and 6 tbs of rock salt

    ice cream 009

     

    U put the small bag in the big bag…

    ice cream 018

     

    and you shake it…

     

    ice cream 012

    This is me…shakey shakin’ it..

    for approx. 5 minutos..

     

    Then..

    u take out the Eye Scream

     

    and..

    Add in some chopped candies..

    ..

     

    and EATS!!!

    ice cream 028

    We did it the ol’ school way

    but I would  to get one of these cool

    Play and Freeze Magic Ice Cream Ballies

     

    Same basic principle but you can throw or roll the ball

    and it would probably not cause Arctic frost bite on my

    fingertips..probably..

     

    All this talk has me thinking…

    I want to meet..

    “THE ICE CREAM MAN”

    No.. the “REAL

     

     

    AND..

     

    Learn how to say…I Love Ice Cream“  

    in various different languages

     

    Amo el helado!   …. Spanish

    J’aime la crême glacée!  …French

    Ich liebe Eiscreme!     …German

    Amo il gelato!   … Italian

    Eu amo o creme de gelo!  …Portuguese

     

    AND…

    maybe visit ‘The Magical city

    and make out with all the tasty treats…

    what??  Is that weird?…

    but they’re so cute!!
