When ponies taste like cookies
I posted a thread, added some pictures. It loaded for 95 minutes, but never completed. I'm trying again, I'll add one picture, and more in follow up, if I can figure it out. Houzz. Ugh....
Elery's Granddaughter, Emaline, had a "My Little Pony" party for her 4th birthday. When I asked what I could bring, I was told that everyone was counting on me bringing cookies. Makes sense, since I got this card for Mother's Day. (grin)

Comments (41)Tami and Lars, I'm nodding as I read of your experiences. But first, my apologies. Somehow this thread got away from me. To be clear, I never worry about others' opinions. Some of the forum's long-time members know I'm an unabashed straight shooter . . . I get that from my dad's side☺ I vacillated posting because these were experiences I have only shared with my mother and daughter. And, whether a blessing or a curse, I find it fascinating. Lars, your dreams are far more pleasant than mine. I'd welcome those in my life. My most troubling dream was one my mother and I both had, on the very same night, where three people (a family member and two friends) were hurt in a boating accident. The following morning we received a call alerting us of the incident, described precisely as it appeared in our dreams. This prompted mom and I to take a very stressful trip overseas to see them. Happy to add, all three survived -- no thanks to me. In any case, to keep this food related, I once dreamed the Kardashians had come over for a barbecue, but I didn't have enough food . . . and I was not mad. May your dreams always be sweet!

Comments (44)Well, I have to say, I didn't mind the idea of eating them before reading this thread, but now I never want to eat organs again! What was I thinking?!! I guess that they're good for you. But I didn't give much thought to what kidneys are used for - blech! Why would people eat that on purpose? I stopped eating hotdogs the day my son informed me that pig anus's are still 100% pure pork. And labeled as such on the ingredient list. And I almost went vegetarian the day I read a description of meat as "putrescent, cadaverous flesh." EEWWW!!...See MoreCookie, Cookies,Brownies

Stir in remaining cereal until well coated. Using two forks spread over caramel layer. Chill and cut into squares. 6._______________________________________________________ PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES Posted by: chery2 on Sat, Nov 15, 03 I may be a slow learner, but I finally caught on to the fact that using sweetened condensed milk in a recipe covers the duties of lots of ingredients. You gotta love recipes of no more than 4 ingredients that turn out GREAT. For instance... PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES 3/4 c. pb, 1 can scm, 2 1/2 c. flour, 1 t. vnla, Mix all ingredients. Roll into 1-in. balls. Shake in bag w/ gran. sugar. Flatten on cookie sheet by making a cris-cross pattern w/ fork. Bake @ 350 for 6-8 minutes. [At first I didn't like these. They looked like little biscuits and didn't flatten during baking. But DH said they're the best ever. SIL likes them w/ a choc. chip in the middle; also likes that they're bite size. 7.________________________________________________________ MACAROONS Posted by: chery2 on Sat, Nov 15, 03 1 bag or can of sweetened coconut [about 13 oz], 1 can scm, 1 t. van [careful! changes shade of cookies], You can add other ingredients: baking chips, crushed mint, whatever.

Olychick, the boys in the family would like "My Possessed Little Pony" better than the regular ponies, I think. I'm going to have to work on that. (grin)
Madonna, she'll be 15 in November and is already at least 6 inches taller than me. She's taller than her Mom, taller than Elery and working on being taller than her Dad. (sigh) I don't like it at all...
Plllog, eyelashes. Yes, that's what they needed. Still, they tasted like cookies, so as you said, how could that be bad? And yes, the Princess liked the flowers too, she used up the rest of them for this cookie. Then she promptly ate it!
Impatien, I think the kids are even cuter than the Possessed Ponies! Thanks...
Cathy, all the horns went back into the dough and got cut into the circles. As you can see, blue/purple was the theme, she was working on "galaxy" colors, which is apparently a big current thing. Yes, SOMEONE should write that stuff down, LOL. I never did either, but I guess I should have...
chloebud, she still likes to play in the kitchen with me, I'll hate it when she decides it's no fun anymore. (sigh)
2many, The Princess has a smart mouth. She gets it from me, so the Possessed Pony comment didn't surprise me at all, LOL. Just as Dad used to say to me, now I say to The Princess: "You know why they don't send donkeys to school". The answer, of course, is "Because no one likes a smart a$$". Yeah. She just smirks.
Those cookies were my first attempt at "flooding". It's harder than it looks, obviously, because my manes and tails ran all over the place!
Thanks, Mom!
Ricky, you're just going to have to get past that blue food issue, as I said before, apparently "galaxy" foods are the big current fad. You have to be up-to-date, you know. Like me. (snicker)
Hopefully, my next attempt at "flooding" won't actually result in flooding pony tails and manes all over the counters!

You know, I think I know a lot of people who would benefit from a few classes at Purple College, loosen 'em up a little with all that recess! (grin)
plllog, that spaghetti trick is so gross, it's kind of like that magician that pulls a never ending handkerchief out of his sleeve, but much more disgusting. I always tell her it's disgusting, but I have to turn away to keep from smiling. And then I tell Bud to just never mind, he doesn't need to try it to, because he would, you know it.
2many, the rock painting is a "thing" here. They paint the rocks, clear coat them and then hide them about town and in the parks and playgrounds. Kids find them and then hide them somewhere else for other kids to find. Each rock has #RockinNC on the back (Newaygo County). So, keep painting rocks, the kids think it's so much fun!
Cathy, Bud stuck paper up his nose, and chicken nuggets, LOL. What is it with stuff up the nose?
Robin, you are really asking for it. She's so full of it and can run circles around even Bud. And she looks so sweet. She's the blonde one, with Elery and her sister Madi.
I'll tape her up and send her right down. (grin)

You're killing me, Annie! I'd never be able to pull this off -- not kidding! I'd be laughing too hard and who knows where the spaghetti would land. That said, I live among a dedicated, dedicated I tell you, crew of pranksters. I'm going to throw the spaghetti idea out there and will almost be able to see those wheels will turning! And because I believe you have a similar crew, I'll share this with you. DD and SIL celebrated first anniversary this weekend; you know, paper. SIL, who fits right in, texted me this pic with "had to sneakily install in bathroom and then wait for DD to notice when she went in" HA! I love this kid.
