What Cracked You Up Today?

[JustBeingMe]

Watching it snow all day long on Sunday 4-6 inches and building a snow man at my cousin's house with a couple neighbor boys. WE had a blast doing it. I took pics for proof it snowed in Texas where I live and posted on my facebook Just to show those non believers it really does snow here in Texas. LOL
And when I got home, watching the news showing a MASSIVE Crowd in Atlanta having the largest snowball fight EVA!! lmao

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!!!
