Better than ~~sex~~ cake .... ;o)

Ingredients

* 1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix
* 1/2 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
* 6 ounces caramel ice cream topping
* 3 (1.4 ounce) bars chocolate covered toffee, chopped
* 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Directions

1. Bake cake according to package directions for a 9x13 inch pan; cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Make slits across the top of the cake, making sure not to go through to the bottom.
2. In a saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping, stirring until smooth and blended. Slowly pour the warm topping mixture over the top of the warm cake, letting it sink into the slits; then sprinkle the crushed chocolate toffee bars liberally across the entire cake while still warm. (Hint: I crush my candy bars into small chunks as opposed to crumbs - I like to have pieces I can chew on!)
3. Let cake cool completely, then top with whipped topping. Decorate the top of the cake with some more chocolate toffee bar chunks and swirls of caramel topping. Refrigerate and serve right from the pan!

Unconscious Mutterings

noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Marie) — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:14:00 +0000

Free association is described as a "psychonanalytic procedure in which a person is encouraged to give free rein to his or her thoughts and feelings, verbalizing whatever comes into the mind without monitoring its content." Over time, this technique is supposed to help bring forth repressed thoughts and feelings that the person can then work through to gain a better sense of self.

1. Did you ever think that you'd be a star? If yes, doing what?
Well back when I was a child, around 8 or so I thought I'd be a country/western singer. I really wanted to be like Marie Osmond!

2. Tell us about the last time you had a romantic dinner.
The night my husband proposed to me! LOL That was on January 6th, 2006.

3. Tell us about your worst job interview.
Being lured and lied to by a telemarketing company - told me it was an administrative assistant position. I walked in the door and automatically knew I'd been scammed. I sat down for a brief second, asked the woman sitting next to me what kind of company this was and she says "Oh, this is a great place - it's a call center and they start you out at $7/hour! I just got up and walked out! LOL

4. Tell us about your stupidest date.
Ok - this is very easy. I 'met' a guy on LDS Mingle who lived in Arizona. He wanted to meet me and at the time I was living in Montrose, CO. He drove out to my place and after leading me to believe that he was 5'9" it turns out he was ~~5'2"~~ (an inch shorter than myself) More like 5'! It started off bad from the very beginning and only worsened as the weekend went on. I took him to my ward (church) with my daughter and her boyfriend. We sat in our regular spot and when it was time to sing the Hymn he started singing so LOUD that everyone looked at us! I was so embarrassed. And the thing is, if he would have been able to sing - it wouldn't have been that big of a deal but this dude was totally off tune and horrible! Needless to say - I was never so happy to see him get into his pig sty car and drive away! (He wanted to drive his car to church and when I opened the door it reeked of fast food and there was garbage and trash ALL throughout his car. There was something really gross on the passenger seat so I suggested we take my car and he became offended!)

5. How much in common do you think you should have with a romantic partner?
At least ~~50%~~ 75%- I think that's enough

6. Tell us about a favorite meme that you loved but no longer posts.
I actually just started doing the Memes a few weeks ago so I can't answer this one.

7. How did you get into blogging?
Back in 2006, I was working for a construction company and had the coolest boss ever. She is the one who introduced me to blogging. Here is her Lindsay's BLOG.

8. Do you share all your fantasies with a significant other?
What fantasies? Seriously, I don't think I have any!

9. What change in your life would you like to happen this year?
I'm finally losing weight. Now if I can just keep it off - I will be happy!
