Mother-In-Law Proof…
May 10th, 2008
So your in-laws are coming over for dinner and you want to finish the evening with a lovely dessert that you can’t possibly screw up. Additionally, since you will presumably be drunk by dessert-time as a means of dealing with your mother-in-law, said dessert will really have to be idiot proof. Well, I have your answer….Bissinger’s Chocolate Lace.
Okey Dokey, here’s what you do. In advance, order a box of the Bissinger’s Chocolate lace. It is simply molasses dipped in dark chocolate. I will repeat that again folks, MOLASSES DIPPED IN DARK CHOCOLATE!….YUM!!! So anyway, buy a box online. I promise you, a box will last you a really long time so try not to get too hung up on the $25.00 price. Then at the grocery store, buy a small carton of heavy whipping cream and a bunch of lovely fruit (strawberries, blueberries, ect.)
Then, when it is dessert time, simply whip the cream with some powdered sugar with that little hand-held blender thingy, (I can’t remember what it is called,) until it is firm. Then place a dollop of home-made whipped cream on each pretty dessert plate. Add a handful of fresh fruit, preferably cut up if you have had time. Then stick a piece of the Chocolate Lace into the whip cream. If you have whipped it a sufficiently long period of time, it should be stiff enough…(wait a minute that brings something else to mind?…Can’t quite place my finger on it?…oh well, never mind.)
Anyway, thats it! It makes such a lovely, light dessert, especially perfect for hot Summer months. And it makes for a really pretty presentation. You can’t miss with this one.

Parched hair does not actually want “deep conditioning” as most hair product commercials would have us all believe. If it did want that then we could all just pour Olive Oil over our heads or slick it through with a bit of Crisco and it would bounce to life.
Okay, so this is the funnest (don’t think funnest is a word is it?) meal you will find at any crappy restaurant near you.
Some people just have more delicate stomachs than others. Some of us experience nausea at random times, by no fault of our own. Some of us have no idea why we are nauseous and therefore cranky on a semi-regular basis. Some of us really hate those of you with “Iron Stomachs” and jealously watch you eat anything and everything with wild abandon and no consequences after the fact. Some of us just have really wimpy, pathetically sensitive, should have their little stomach asses kicked stomachs!
Now I realize that I am not charting into unique territory by recommending something from such a huge chain as Macaroni Grill. And admittedly it pains me to not have a more creative dish/location to suggest (I would love to be trendily obscure here) but regardless, I gotta tell you, the
I just look really sad when my hair is limp. By sad I mean like a dork, not so much sad as in tearful. And so I use a really fantastic product that you might not have heard about.
Peeps make the world a better place….period. If you think otherwise, then you are clearly a communist.
You know that feeling you get when you see those stories like how a German Shepard “adopted” an orphaned baby deer and loved it back to health? Or how that tiger in Thailand is friends with all those little piglets? Well this is like the human version of one of those unbearably touching stories…
Okay, I don’t have any kind of chronic bad breath issue or anything, but I am a bit anal about fresh breath…hence, my love of Crystal Breath. Most people I mention it to have never heard of it, but it is a truly useful little gem.
I’m a little scared. I have stumbled across the fact that there is now out there a sort of crack cocaine in cake and cream form; you know, makes you feel really, really good but is horrifically addictive and bad for you. This my friend is essentially what we are talking about with the new
