americangirl.com muffin game

[Guest guest]

Allie has been playing this game on

americangirl.com about cooking muffins. It's a

game to teach time, but she likes to leave the

muffins in too long to hear the woman say, " Oh

no! The muffins are burning! " So she said it all

day Saturday & after supper I told her we were

gonna make muffins. She stood in the chair at the

mixer & I pointed out all the wet ingredient

fractions on the cup. Thing is, I have a 2 cup

measuring cup, lol, I kept wondering if that was

giving her any lesson! She's been having math problems, admin

suggested we do stuff like this at home to help teach her. I guess I

need to get a 1 cup liquid measuring cup.

But she had a blast. She kept laughing through

the whole thing. We made them real blueberry,

just like the game. I pulled them out (even

though they weren't burnt) and said, " Oh no! The

muffins are burning! " She laughed so hard she

nearly fell over & Jess & Dinah came running,

they were afraid they wouldn't be any good! I was

hoping Allie would eat it, I don't think she ever

took a bite, she told it was yucky.

<sigh> I thought it might be a moment to get her

to eat something new, something semi-healthy.

At least we had fun.

Oooooh, White Castle. Mmm-mmm. They don't have those down here, you know.

SIGH!

Back in my hometown in Ohio, my house was just 2 minutes from a White

Castle. Those little boxes of White Castles in the freezer section at Krogers

just

aren't the same!

Do you have Krystals in Houston? We have that here instead of White

Castle. Hubby says White Castles are better, I say minus the mustard

on Krystals, what's the diff?

Not everyone's sense of taste works the same way of course! There have

actually been instances of people who toted styrofoam containers full of White

Castle burgers with them on the plane after a visit back " home " .

about it, I was expecting this amazing tasting hamburger, but it was a

teeny, greasy plain hamburger. It's definitely one of the things I don't

kinda like spam you love it or hate it. my cousins love it. i use it as a

joke. when my brother graduatuated high school i told (and 98% did) every

one to buy him a can of spam in addtion to a regular gift. he thought he was

getting all kinds of stuff. by the time he opened his 3rd can he thought it

was hysterical. i still have a can or 2 as a joke. my ma bought me one from

enland...lol.

I live in Michigan and we have White Castle here. I don't go there but I know

some people love them. I actually had to ride a car where someone had a bag of

them. Ugh! The smell made me nauseous. However, the one's that you can buy

frozen at the supermarket, I think are ok. At least the cheeseburger ones. lol.

I need cheese on almost everything.

Hey, speaking of Python (gotta love 'em), have any of you seen the musical

" Spamalot " ?

We have tickets, and Allie (who will be age 12 by then) loves comedy and

wants to go. She has been to the theater fairly often, and seen Lion King,

Beauty & the Beast, Seussical, All Shook Up, Wlicked, etc. But, on this one

the

commercials look pretty raunchy to me (as might be expected). Can anyone

give me their informed opinion, I hope?

I'm a conservative mom, and she's not allowed to see PG -13 movies yet,

although we're beginning to vet them to see if on a one by one basis we might

make an exception. Spiderman 3 has not made the cut, much to her chagrin!
