Oh Happy Day!

Christmas came a little early for Rosie this year.
My Sandra Lee cookbook came in the mail today. I entered a contest in the Raleigh News and Observer last month and I WON! This is from Sandra's cookbook:
This is from me:
Sandra Experiments Making Inedible Horrific Offerings Mediocre Entrees Mind-boggling Appetizers Doodoo Excrement

I CAN’T WAIT for that watermelon fizz

to start cooking the Semi-Homemade Way!

Does anyone know how long it took Rosie to figure out how to do the strike-through above? Oy with the poodles already. And points for anyone who can dish that quote up. Ticky???

  2. Hmmm, may have to visit Rosie (who will remember HOW she got the cookbook) for a semi-Ho marathon.

    Anything about tablescapes? How big is the cocktail section?

  3. Rosie certainly remembers HOW she heard of the contest and I believe credit was given in an earlier post.
    There's a rather hefty cocktail section and a lovely section on tablescapes and entertaining. There's also an intriguing "recipe" for a volcano cake for a "science project party" for children. It involves store bought cakes trimmed into a cone shape, slathered with canned frosting, decorated with trails of lava-colored tubed frosting.

    My favorite part:
    "For an ERUPTION," hide a glass with dry ice in the well of the cake. When you're ready to serve, pour a little hot water into it for smoke."

    I imagine that's not the only eruption offered by this cake.

    And Rosie welcomes you any time for a semi-Ho marathon.

  4. Now, if the eruption only involved marshmallow cream, it would be perfect.

    Never watched Gilmore Girls.
