Hey there, Joely!

I love that you brought your box of VD scents with you. Was there an ulterior motive when you gave your Mom her own burner?

You must tell Gammie Sue howdy!

Bonza ... you know it! I have one here and then one when I go to Gammie Sue's! I will tell Gammie Sue howdy for you for sure! :-)



Wait until you see Kaden and Kael in their cowboy outfits! TOO CUTE!

Awwww, Joely, they are gonna look so cute!

We will anxiously await not only Kaden & Kael at the rodeo photos, but also your non-cured VD scent reviews.

I can see it now, Winter Olympics 2020, the lighting of the tart opening ceremonies...the giant solar powered tart warmer has traveled around the world, and what's that the tart bearer has strapped to his back? A flat rate box? Hmmmm...

OMG Bonza - lmao. You have to send that to Alyce. I shared one of your latest work to her, too.

Cathie - that is too funny. Everyone would be in dreamland with the whole Olympic stadium smelling good. Better make it a BNB since that seems to be the most universally loved scent.

Joely - Yay and ::phew!::. So glad you got your tarts safe and sound. I bet your family is going to raid your stash! Please say "hi" to Gammie Sue for me as well! And I can't wait to see your cutie-pies in their cowboy outfits! Have a great time.

Paj - So glad you are enjoying SP - don't you love it? If you have a plain cookie or waffle cone, anything plain bakery, try a blend. It is an awesome blender!

The torch lighting and Pavarotti were amazing! We were cracking up at the random American '80's music playing during the parade of atheletes, though (which Bob Costas mentioned, too, which made me crack up even more).

Crossing my fingers for Michelle Kwan to bounce back and stay on the team!

Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma was the highlight for me! Wow! A close second was the crowd of people bringing a ski jumper to life. I couldn't figure out what they were doing at first, but then it became clear.

I hope Michelle Kwan skates, but not if she's not at her best. She will be disappointed once again. I remember watching her exhibition skate at the Salt Lake Olympics. By the end tears were streaming down her face (they showed the very end of it last night during her interview). I was bawling right along with her. I felt so bad for her. Of course I'm hoping she can get a gold in Torino to complete her set of medals!

I'm getting ready to place my tart order. I'll post a review of Root Beer Float when the time comes.

Bonza- That picture is a riot! Gotta love flaming tarts.

Joely- Hi to Gammie Sue! Can't wait to see the pictures of Kaden and Kael in their cowboy outfits! Super cute, I'm sure.

Julip- The DH and I were thinking the same things about the random american 80's music playing. And when Bob Costas(who btw graduated with my DH and grew up just down the block) made a comment about it, we cracked up. Overall, I thought the opening ceremonies were pretty nice. The torch lighting was gorgeous, and Andrea Bocelli and Pavarotti were amazing:-)

Woo-hoo, Michelle Kwan for the Gold!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed too. It would be such a nice ending to her great career. She is such a beautiful skater.

Boy, the tealight warmers really do make a difference on how long a tart lasts! I'm still burning a coconut milk and peaches that I started almost three weeks ago! I don't burn it everyday, but it's one I go back to quite often!

Love the graphic, Bonza!!!

We are building a new house and were walking through today looking at the electrical outlets they put in yesterday, and my main thoughts were "Oh, that's a great place for a tart warmer" lol. I am particularly eyeing the one on the fireplace mantle - visions of BNB dance in my head... :-)

I just ventured downstairs.. spending time in bed.. I slept because I could breathe better but still full of gunk to snort or cough up. On day two of meds from doctor and glad I didn't let it really take hold in the chest (the cold).

But with the DVR upstairs (still haven't gotten the remote to recognize my TV, which it needs for mute and sound, etc.) but watched olympics up there quite happily while sorting through a bunch of newspapers.

I got to see Michelle Kwan in person at the 2002 US Championships and her exhibition routine made me cru. Whenever she does "Fields of Gold" it gets to me.

I hear she's doing hip hop (or derivation of same) for her short program but will skate more clasically for the long.

I have the highest hopes, mostly that she gives the performance of a lifetime, for herself. I loved hearing of the support she was getting from the figure skating community and also the reminder that her placing at the lasts world's is the only reason the US even has a third person on the team, so it seems fitting that she gets to fill that slot.

This is SO unfair! I am really, really angry right now! I have not been in any kind of mood lately to burn any tarts..too many problems going on.

But, today, I tried 2 tarty parts of the BNB! I have one MAJOR complaint which I need to get off my chest! Since I am homebound, how in the heck am I supposed to get myself to the grocery store to pick up some banana nut bread?

You all have it made with these tarts! If you burn a bakery type one and it smells heavenly, and you decide you just gotta get more of it and have a terrible craving for the food item it matches, you can get your little hineys to the store to buy the edible type (in this case..BANANA NUT BREAD)! I CAN'T and it is driving me up a wall! It smells soooo wonderful in this apartment..I need some of the edible type now!!! Anyone willing to drop some off for me?

I am just kidding! But, it does smell HEAVENLY in here!!!

Sea, hope you feel better soon!

Hmmmmmm, I was just thinking..has anyone tried nibbling on a tart yet? I just may have to resort to that in order to get my craving for Banana Nut Bread taken care of! If it tastes like it smells, I will be a happy camper.

Did she really eat one or are you just fibbing? Was she o.k.? Did she tell you what it tasted like? I am sooooo tempted to try one but I shan't (I guess???)!

I am serious..it smells like I have been baking in here all day and nothing to show for it! I am craving BNB so bad. The closest thing I have to it is a banana. And that sure didn't work..it just made me want more of the real stuff! I am so tempted to call one of my friends and tell them, if they love me, to get their hiney up to Krogers and get some
B A N A N A N U T B R E A D, NOW!!

Even Baby is going around here with her little nose pointed upward, just sniffing away!

The graphic is cute, Bonza! But I don't think it would stop me if my craving was even just a teensy bit stronger than it is at the moment!

Unfortunately, she really did eat it! I gave them to her as a Christmas gift and she misunderstood and ate one. Long story short she said they tasted horrible. She chose to eat the BNB one because I had pointed out it was my favorite one when I gave them to her. She is fine and did not get sick at all. I passed along the story to Alyce and she got a kick out of it!

Thanks Jinsky..It's a wonder she didn't get sick or something. O.K. since it tasted horrible, I guess I'll just have to call a friend or suffer!

And didn't she eat it without even melting and smelling it??

Baby, do you have some place that delivers like we have Albertsons.com? I used that before I had my knee surgery and wasn't using my car for a few months and they were fabulous. Now I couldn't have BNB right now but often could have had that and so much more delivered the next day and if I'd wanted, brought into the house.

Funny, I don't even care for real life BNB but like the tart.

I'm testing my nose, melting aButter Cream Crunch. So far, can't tell that it is on.

FYI, from the Soyful Joys home page:


quote:

Hungry for a Tart?


We know how life like and tasty Soyful Joys tarts look, but lets not forget that they're not really edible! If someone accidentally ingests a tart give them water or milk to dilute and contact a physician immediately.
If you inhale too much of the wonderful aroma of Soyful Joys tarts step outside and get some fresh air, it should clear your head quickly.

If you accidentally get wax in your eye flush it immediately with clean water for at least 15 minutes. Contact a physician if irritation presists.

If your skin comes in contact with the wax remove any contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation persists, contact physician.

Remember to never leave burning wax unattended, and always mind children, pets and hungry husbands!

Thanks Sea..We have a Busch's about a half mile from here. I did check that out a while ago and they do deliver to (I think..can't remember) businesses or something like that. But, they were very nice and said they would see if they could set up something where they would make deliveries to me for a fee. I never checked back with them because I've always had a friend around to go shopping for me. I don't know, maybe someday I might try and set that up. I know they are more expensive than Krogers which is a block from here. But, they do have a better selection and probably better quality, too.

Did Albertons charge much of a fee for their delivery service? Did they deliver what you specifically asked for? Was the food decent?

Thanks for posting the info from Alyce's site again. I did read it before but that was sometime ago.

This probably sounds goofy or weird, but I wish Alyce could come up with a tart that smelled like Baby. I don't know about other cats, but I just love her smell. I love to cuddle with her and bury my nose in her fur! It's such a sweet, soft smell!

Albertson's charged $10 and that could be for a large or heavy delivery.. I mean like several 24 packs of Pepsi or cat sand, canned goods, whatever. And their drivers could not accept tips. Ordering is online and pretty easy. Sometimes they'd be out of an item, or several, but they really tried to fill the order and did well, even with produce. It was such a great service!

I was glad I got my car back on the road and got my surgery done before they went on strike in So Cal (union for grocery employees) because that killed the delivery service for over a year but I hear it is going again.

But that probably wouldn't bring the requiree BNB anyway.

I just realized that the BCC has been melted for all this time and I can't smell it at all!

It could be that it is out of scent but I suspect I still haven't regained my sense of smell.. sigh. At least my VD tarts are curing.
