My daughters (http://bitsandpieces10.blogspot.com/) will have a booth there with clippies and other childrens items. They have given me a cute *PRINCESS* clippie and headband to put in my "FAVOURITES BASKET". I will add something every week until I have 60 dear followers. Then, I will random.org a winner (from my follower list) to recieve the basket.
Check out the cute princess collection. (The winner will get to choose their favourite princess :) Sign up to be a follower on my blog for a chance to win. (To see the cute photo album I put in this week, visit the 17 August post - !0 Things That Made Me Happy")
Check out their blog AND get a free ribbon flower clippie IF you are a follower of theirs, AND if you visit their booth on Saturday at Wheeler Farm.
I love you. Thank-you for all you do. Happy Birthday, Honey.
I will post my "10 Things..." later this week.
Today is my husband's birthday :-) I was going to write "10 THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY ABOUT MY HUSBAND". Then I decided I would just write it for him.
So, for Doug's birthday I am posting the ice cream dessert that Doug picks e v e r y year for his birthday cake. This is one of my kidults favourite foods. (They all came over for it yesterday.) It is also one of my 5 oldest recipes. I got it (and slightly adapted it) before I was married. (Since we are approaching our 32 anniversary, and since I have no clue who gave it to me, and I adapted it, I am calling it mine.)
ICE CREAM CRUNCH
6 oz. chocolate chips
1 can evaporated milk 12 oz.
about 10 1/2 oz. mini marshmallows6 table. butter (margarine is o.k.)
1 1/2 cups coconut
2 1/2 cups crushed rice krispie cereal (about 3 cups uncrushed)
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 gallon or so :( vanilla ice cream - in a rectangle box (not round)
Step 1
In a large skillet melt chocolate chips and evaporated milk (just til melted). Stir in marshmallows just until melted. Cool in fridge about 1/2 hour.
Step 2
Melt butter in a large skillet. Stir in coconut and stir until light brown. I put my rice cereal into a small mixing bowl. Then I make a fist and just kind of grind it down in a few times. Add to butter mix and stir. Let cool.
Step 3
Open all sides and ends of ice cream carton. Use a long knife and cut (long way) into lots of slices (about 12). Then cut all the slices in 1/2. (Emily has picked this for her birthday for awhile now, too. If my cutting directions do not make sense, let me know. I will do a tutorial with Emily's. (Sept.))
Step 4
In a 9 x 13 pan, layer 1/2 the coconut/cereal mix.. Then lay down 1/2 the ice cream squares. Top w/ 1/2 of the partially cooled chocolate sauce. The next layers are (layer 4) the rest of the ice cream. Layer 5 is the rest of the chocolate sauce, then top with the rest of the "crunch". Chill at least 4 hours. (The hardest part is finding a place in the freezer:)
