“Come get me, Spectra!!!”
After my last post (or the lack of it), it became clear, I needed new assistants. Fortunately Spectra saved the day by sending me one of her best employees as a prize in her Best Snow Man Ever Contest.
Little Lambie, my new employee, clambered over the keyboard 24/7 not only to resurrect the missing cookbook, but also to personally ensure the Grand Opening of the Before Morning Breaks Souvenir Shop where your gold ingots can buy comfort, convenience, and good health. Check it out. You’ll find a treasure trove of wonders like…the long awaited Cookbook…..
Here’s a sneak peek into the Cookbook of Horrors
Toad in the hole: Banana Guacamole
That’s not chocolate. Those are sausages swimming in Yorkshire pudding. Grab a fork to stab yourself in the eyes.
Perfect for the hiker, runner and strong-intestined.
Cheese Milk Cold Salad Gravy
Forget chocolate, cheese is the new flavor. Good in coffee and tea, too.
Greens and grease. The perfect lunch combo Guaranteed to make guests check into a hotel after 1 day.
Franken Cakes Snickers Apple Salad (no kidding)
Pudding, apples, a tub of whip cream and Snickers for those people who like to pick stuff out of their salads.
From the kitchen of carlykmyta
Breakfast for Loggers and Frankenstein. No little piggys in a blanket meal…this is the whole foot.
Sandwiches for families on the GO…..
Fills a belly better’n jelly!
Mashed Potato Putty: Instant mashed potatoes spread over bread for sandwiches
And for dessert…..
Actually, you’ll have to buy these. Banana-flavored treats from Archie MCPhee.
or find your own Banana slugs.
All of these stomach numbing recipes and more can be yours. Just click on the tab in the header-banner and take a Memorial Day stroll down the aisles.

Perhaps it taste better than it looks. I am a brave eater. As long as its cooked, not moving, not rotten or no dangerous ingredients, I can be adventurous. Lets see……I can try the banana guacamole. I grew up knowing avocado is a dessert fruit. We put sugar, milk or condense milk with it. It can also be a delicious fruit shake too. Thanks…

I wouldn’t let Lambie sit beside you while you do any internet banking. As well as being incredibly talented Spectra is deep and devious. Lambie may be a secret spy. I have dipped my earrings in boiling water, but still have reservations. They are gorgeous. As is Lambie. Is this part of the clever plot?
I am so sorry that I didn’t have these recipes while my partner’s sister the incredibly fussy eater was visiting. Banana slug come on down (then up).

Lil’ Lambie has proven to be an invaluable assistant, although the leers she gets from my other assistants…Mr. Turkey Vulture in particular, do make her nervous. I hadn’t even thought about the spy-aspect, perhaps I get the keys to my car back from Lambie?

No, no no, ladies… Lambie totally needs those car keys. How else will she run errands for you, Barb? Phsh! As for the Spy Aspect. All I can say is, Like Mark Zuckerberg, personal information gathering is just a neccessity in these thought-stealing times, and any information the tiny computer chip embedded inside Lambies glow-in-the-dark head should aquire will only be used for benevolent purposes. Such as getting me all of those gross recipes and spreading them all over the internet to prevent your horrid book from ever hitting the book shelves. Humanity will thank me later.
