TanyaRC 0 Posted February 14, 2010 Mindy .... not a dumb question .... there are very few dumb questions ....If I am going to dip them, I leave the cap ... the green part where it was attached to the plant .. intact so that you have something to hold onto to eat it ..to prepare them for the recipe, take a small knife and just barely cut the green part out ,,look at the ones that you have .. You don't really even need to hull them, just cut a thin slice off the big end of the berry -- where the cap is -- so that it sits flat .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mindyjoy 0 Posted February 14, 2010 I've seen those in stores and always wondered how they make them ... cool! Although might be a little too advanced for me, lol. But I'm going to try those stuffed strawberries some day soon. I showed the bf and he was like, YUM!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TanyaRC 0 Posted February 14, 2010 One of the best parts of these recipes is that you get to eat the mistakes!! None of it is that hard. It just takes a bit of practice. I made ... I think ... 100 stuffed and 100 dipped berries for BIL's reception, and it wasn't so bad. The only bad thing was doing it in my MIL's kitchen with limited AC ....

inu-kijo 0 Posted February 14, 2010 its really good. you take a pack of oreos and a thing of cream cheese.Crush up all the oreos and mix it really well with the cream cheese... and it makes like this muddy looking puddy. (sounds gross)you roll those into 1 inch balls then dip them in chocolate and let them cool, and Voila!!yummyness with ease!!(i have made them with mint oreos too, and its is Sooooo good!dipped it in all sorts of chocolate, and drizzled opposite colour chocolate on it, and all that stuff, so they are easy to customize.Super simple and a party favourite!

mindyjoy 0 Posted February 14, 2010 Sorry all, I was doing some fishing ... I want more pink diamonds but no luck. I think oreos are so gross BUT I love oreo-flavored anything, like milkshakes or ice cream, so truffles sound really good to me!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TanyaRC 0 Posted February 15, 2010 as far as the question that you asked on the hunt thread, ... Frannie rpobably had the answers in first. I figured out #15, and shared with her, and she shared the location of the last thing that I could not find with me.. It took me a bit to get a picture, so I was probably actually last getting done ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inu-kijo 0 Posted February 15, 2010 yeah. I actually like the second job a lot better.it seems much more satisfying... its hard to explain considering both jobs are practically the same.A little sore today thouhg, and had one rough day last week, but nothing too bad, just still adjusting.Don't have to go back til Wednesday morning.

TanyaRC 0 Posted February 15, 2010 Hi Mindy!! Did you finish all the strawberries?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TanyaRC 0 Posted February 15, 2010 I can understand what you mean. I can imagine that it is not very fulfilling working in the middle of the night with just us to talk to .... I know that I am happiest at work when I am busy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mindyjoy 0 Posted February 15, 2010 Haha, no there are still plenty left. We just split a slice of red velvet cake we bought at the food store today when we went shopping. Now I'm watching figure skating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

inu-kijo 0 Posted February 15, 2010 Yeah, well i dont talk to many people at the other job easier, but i stay pretty busy... but it just could be cause its a new job... or maybe the fact that I see daylight... or something different..... But I dunno.only working 4 days there this week.... hopefully I can pick up one more shift somewhere in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

inu-kijo 0 Posted February 15, 2010 Some days... still trying to figure out the best way to spread out my meds where it isn't so mad (been taking one cycle right before i go to sleep to try and help with swelling.)Left foot has been painfully swollen last 3 days, but not unbearable, and calf muscles are very tight and sore, and Shoulder muscles on left side are VERY sore.But have been dealing fine. not tired or anything. been sleeping better,a nd mood is better as well.Clyde is been moody though.Last night he was especially mad at me.
