Well, if I recall, I don’t buy her products.

But .. what’s the problem with Sarah Lee ..??

[CyberAnt]

Oh my .. that makes me hungry for a maple-bacon-chicken sandwich. Sooooooooo good.

You mean your wife doesn’t yell at you for eating that much bacon ..??

On the way home from work, bought my wife and daughter a chocolate truffle bomb to share.

We had a Claim Jumper in Torrance, Ca. Closed down because of the gimmedats taking over the restaurant. :(

An icebox cake is traditionally made by layering cookies or wafers with whipped cream, then setting it in the refrigerator (or "icebox") overnight. The cookies absorb moisture from the whipped cream, and by the time you're ready to serve, they've taken on the texture of something resembling a layer of cake.

Might give that a try with some ginger cookies.

I made Cowboy cookies last night. Never again! They’re so good I can’t stop eating them. Lol

You don't have to stop making them...Just send them to me, I'll save you from eating them.

My mom used to bake cakes for people on the side. There were always 2-3 cakes in pans, in the freezer. (cakes that for one reason or another that didn't make the cut).

So, when the urge hit, I'd go and get a frozen cake and cut me out a slice.

Mmmmm

I like frozen cake.

According to Wiki How: International Bacon Day is the one day of the year for the world to come together and appreciate bacon in every way possible. Depending on the country, International Bacon Day is celebrated either on the first Saturday after the New Years in January, February 19th, or the the Saturday before Labor Day. Go out there and honor this pork with friends and family.

According to Nationaldaycalendar.com and Daysoftheyear.com it's Dec. 30.

On Facebook, November is national bacon month in Australia and the US.

Then of course there is the Muslim "holy" month of Ramadan, which is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar.
(What better reason to eat bacon?)

My grandsons love vanilla ice cream and orange sherbet floats using 7-Up. Their fav kind next to root beer floats.

Why is Sarah Lee a no? Don’t buy it anyway, but curious.

It’s just a personal taste thing. I got a S.L. cake that was “fat free” by Mistake and it tasted like air. Their bread is always stale and their regular cakes are rather tasteless as well. To me anyway.

Thanks for responding. Seems like everything that says “low” anything has no taste. Wish they would leave our food alone. To me, they have removed all the flavor enhancers. Too much tastes like cardboard.
