Huk'd ... you're so funny!

Baby ~ I simply can not WAIT until your order ships and then arrives!

My third order that was placed on Tuesday already shipped today!!! yipee! Julip's order too!

I'll take ketchup and mustard with ranch dressing for dipping and Kael would like the same, just hold the meat and the bun. He wants the pickles though! Kaden's fine, he wants a corn dog he said!

No Huk..I know the standard yardstick is 3 ft. Mine, not the everyday type, is a 4 ft. metal. heavy duty type. And I know a yard is 3 ft. but this one is called a 4ft. yardstick. I got it at the hardware store a few years ago.

I emailed Alyce regarding an Earl Grey scented tart and she said she can get an Earl Grey with Honey, but they would be $10 a dozen because she would have to special order the oil. I will do that with my next order, which should not be any time soon, lol.

Good morning, Today I've got delicious strawberry cheesecake warming along with strawberry preserves which is equally as yummy. And downstairs I have cherry vanilla on. So far so good on that one but I just put it on so you never know if it could take a turn for the worse.

Hope everyone has a great day!

LOL Hukd!

Cathie - how nice that Alyce would do a special order for the Earl Grey scent should you decide to try it!

And don't be too sure about that "I will do that with my next order, which should not be any time soon". That is what you think. Bwa ha ha.

Jinksy, it sounds positively delicious in your house today! I have no scents going on in my house right now because I have not had a second to get to my warmers! But, I still have Honeysuckle Vine and Lemon Meringue in them. I think this will be the last day for both, and then they should be done. The Changing of the Tarts will be scheduled for later on today or tomorrow.

Have a great Saturday, everyone!

Oh, and Bonza -

"... and the chicken is lovely..."

That Flavor of Love episode was hilarious!!

Joely - sorry to take so long to get your order to you - hope you enjoy your ketchup/mustard/ranch burger; I've also prepared a pickle plate with assorted dipping sauces for Kael; and a corn dog for Kaden!


That is it. The kitchen is closed.

Yay!!! I receive my first Soyful Joys tart order yesterday. My free dozen is Toasted Almond Crunch. I will have to wait and see on this one. Normally I don't like almond scents, but the cold sniff seems ok to me. I'm sure I won't want a dozen of them. So, if anyone would like to exchange I'd be interested.

My sampler bag:
Cinnamon Sticks
Citrus and Sage
Downy April Fresh
Gossamer Wings (2)
Honey Almond
Judy's Japanese Pear & Ginseng
Lavender
Lavender Milk
Margaritaville
Mary Ellen's Tropical Paradise Cake
Rosemary Mint
Toasted Almond Crunch

A couple of these I don't even remember reading about on the Soyful Joys website. They are a nice surprise!

Happy Saturday everyone! :-)

Julip, thanks for the lunch... I think we're headed to In and Out after the picture in my folder and your wonderful burgers and not burgers that you threw on the grill for us here! lol

Baby, I have a 4ft stick too! I can't help but think about it as a weapon now! lol We're crazy gals!

Thanks Joely! I think people thought I was nuts or something. I know what's in my closet and it is a 4 ft. metal one. It's funny how you refer to it as a weapon. I use it (when need be) to pound on the ceiling when the neighbors are being really noisy. It works like a charm every time. I also have used it to chase my ex around my apartment when he was being really naughty. And once in awhile he would get it on the butt. It whipped him back into shape (sadly, it was only for a short period of time).

Paj!! What a wonderful sampler bag!! I got almost all fruity ones in the one bag I got..have hopes form more bakery in the next one..

Toasted Almond Crunch sounds very interesting.

I decided to try a Butter Cream Crunch last night.. I think that is the one Alyce said some people thought was too strong, but that if you waited it mellowed out.. this is from my latest arrivals with a date of 01/23 but seemed strong enough .. I do like it! Have it on again now.

Holly..no, not really. I am sure it was a sight to see, though. Me being in an electric wheelchair, going almost as fast as he could run, chasing him, holding this 4 ft. thingy up in the air, probably looked totally nutty! Not kinky..just very silly.

Thanks Joely..I can get just as nutty as the rest of them. I keep most of my friends laughing. They think I am a goof ball (sometimes, anyway)! I guess I have different sides to me and the goofy side is the one I like the best! Laughter is good medicine for ALL of us!

Dlmmo- I love your choices! What a great smelling order. I'm glad you cheated and put one the warmer. I agree about blackberry sage. It's a nice one.

Paj- nice sampler! You sure got a lot of fun ones.

Julip- I ended up adding the italian fortune cookie to the strawberry preserves and it wasn't a great mix for me. The IFC is really cinnamony and it completely overpowered the SP! I'm so bummed about the strawberry cheesecake one being discontinued. I'm crazy about it! I keep walking by so I can get a good whiff. lol.

RMAO, Joely!!

Dlmmo, sounds like an interesting assortment you got. Blackberry Safe is wonderful!!

Jinksy, hopefully Strawberry Preserves will work for you in place of Strawberry Cheesecake.. somehow I question that, but who knows?

Sea- Right now, it doesn't seem the same at all. It's missing the creamy factor. But, when I run out and get to missing it, I think it will work for me. I guess it's going to have to. :-) Maybe I'll try mixing the strawberry preserves with a little blueberry cheesecake. That might be interesting.

Oh, darn it, Jinksy! I was worried about that strong cinnamony start that IFC has when it starts up. Oh well, it was worth a shot - thanks for saving my nose from that before I tried it lol. Maybe there will be a riot on the Delphi Forum when people start noticing Strawberry Cheesecake is gone, and Alyce will hold another group pre-buy. Then you can buy a caseload of 'em.

Hey, do you have any buttercream left? I wonder if a bit of that might work.

Paj and Dlmmo - your orders and samplers look terrific! I can't wait to see what's in mine that should arrive Monday or Tuesday.

Joely - are ya trying to kill me, telling me you planned to go to In-N-Out?? LOL! We miss it sooo much. Did you end up going? I bet the boys love it when you get such cravings.

If you are curious to know what the Baby Bee Buttermilk smells like, give the real thing (Burt's Bee's Baby Bee Buttermilk) a whiff the next time you see it at the store. I picked up some lotion yesterday, and the tart smells just like it!

I also picked up some cute ramekins today at Williams-Sonoma. I saw them on my way out of the store. At $6.50 a pop, they were a bit extravagant compared to my other finds and I was going to pass on them, but my wonderful DH said "Well, you don't have that color." When I voiced my concern about the price, he said "Just buy two, not ten." ROFL. I bought two.



They are only available in sets of 4 online, but in-store they have them individually. They are much cuter and prettier in person. I love this pink! They are slightly smaller in diameter and height than the Pier 1 ramies.

I don't use the tarts in my house, but I ran across a site with really cute tart warmers. They're expensive, but darn-it, cute! Here is a sample, and the link:
