What Cracked You Up Today?

WolfyOne's post
I have some of my mom's old recipes I just dug out in her hand writing and as soon as I can decipher a few, I'll put them up for ya'll.

This cracked me up because it made me think of Sweet and I trying to decipher my Grandma's recipes this summer. She has been dead since 1984 and I have used her recipes and of course have tweaked them to my taste. Truth is she never really used recipes just the ingredients from them.

I remembered years ago I read one that said, one stick oleo. I assumed that was butter, though it could have been anything that can come in sticks. So I called Nannie for comformation...Yep well sorta yep, it was margarine...yes margrine. LOL

So this summer we get out the box to check out the canning recipes and bless her 8th grade educated heart, ya can't hardly read her writing, so I ended up calling Mom for back up.

Now this thought is what cracked me up....When my birthday rolled around, Sweet asked me what kind of cake I wanted. Well of course I wanted Gigi's famous chocolate pound cake..So we dig out the recipe....it was a from scratch recipe....down the way it said....one block of oleo ROFLMAO!!! I couldn't call Nannie she was in the rest home by then and couldn't remember how to use her phone. Mom wasn't sure, so Sweet calls her Mom.....well they decided whatever and finally the cake was a reality. I just get tickled trying to figure out others recipes.

Who's been dead since 1984?
You write about me and Gigi.... then you say "She's been dead since 1984..."
I'd just like clarification....'cause some days I might feel croaked, but I'm sitting here listening to you mess around in the kitchen making sweet-tater pies, dancing to some funky kind of music and singing "Yummy, Yummy for my tummy!!"

Good thing we are in the "What CRACKED you up?" Thread!!

For the record.... when Gigi wrote "one block of oleo" for the Chocolate Pound Cake.... we BOTH found out that she meant ONE WHOLE BOX (four sticks) of margarine. And for another record, I won't be calling Mom again for questions on someone else's recipe.... she said use one STICK of oleo..... I SWEAR THOSE CAKES TURNED OUT SO HEAVY THAT THEY WOULD MAKE GREAT DOOR STOPS!!!

It was a wild time wasn't it? Thank you again!

Ummm...Blade, just because Sweet and I didn't get one up on you two last night doesn't mean you guys are out of the woods...

I just busted out laughing at work so hard that I have cried all of my eyeliner off and snorted loud enough to bring people out of their cubes.

All over a conversation about how to stop yourself from having a stroke.

WCMUT?

Thinking about Lil Strutt when she was here. My roomate has a cockatiel named Ody ... the lil one was eating breakfast when Ody started talking away.

Lil Strutt : He talks?

Roomie: yes and I talk to him too

Lil Strutt: You speak Bird?

Now that WAS a sight and experience!!
"I suspect you've never had to CHEW your jello?"
Just the look on Dom's face said it all!!
Today when I was thinking about it..... I wondered what would happen if someone put a HUGE batch of that jello in a kiddie swimming pool and did a BELLY FLOP?? From the looks of that jello... that kiddie swimming pool might be a fun attraction at the next Reunion, Pride or other event?

*yeah, that's how my brain works on over loaded days.... kiddie pools filled with jello!!*
