I made a neat dessert thingy for the dinner at work tonight. It's called "Dirt Dessert". It looks like a pan of dirt and worms. It's pretty neat. You can also put it in a clean planter with a fake flower poked into it and serve it that way. :) I got the idea to make it from hearing about the show called "Survivor". Something about them having to eat worms, or something icky like that. We're supposed to be watching it while having dinner at work this evening.
This is the recipe:
Dirt Dessert
Ingredients:
1 pkg Oreo cookies, finely ground
1 pkg Philly Cream Cheese (8 oz)
1 stick butter or margarine (1/2 C)
1 C. Powdered sugar
12 oz tub of Cool Whip
2 pkgs instant vanilla pudding mix
4 C. cold milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Directions:
Take package of oreos and grind to the consistency of sand in a food processor. Set aside.
Mix cream cheese and butter in large bowl with powdered sugar. Add cool whip and mix well. In a separate bowl, make pudding using the two mixes and milk as stated on package directions. Add the pudding mixture to the cool whip mixture and mix well. Add the vanilla.
Place 1/2 of the oreo mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Spread all of the cool whip mixture over the oreo mixture. Top with the remaining oreo mixture and place in refrigerator to cool. Before serving, put gummy worms on top for the desired 'dirt and worms' appearance.

Dylan forgot his homework yesterday, so we didn't have to do that. Thank goodness he has a 'get out of homework free' pass! We had greek food for dinner (Dylan didn't like his Gyro at all), talked a bit and then I went to bed when the guys got here. I was able to sleep through all the noise, thank the gods. I woke up around 1am or so and actually felt pretty good. Dylan was in the bed with me and had put his elbow in my side, which is why I woke up. John and Ted were still here. They usually stay late after D&D so they can play some snowboarding game on the PS2.
I decided to take a shower to help make me feel more awake. Suddenly the hot water heater gave out, just two days before the new one is to arrive...dammit! So all the water got cold half way through my shower. brr! I was definitely awake then! Talk about being cold! brrrrrrr! It's heating enough water for a sink full of dishes or half a shower (or a really uber fast one!). Cold showers in the winter suck, btw.
After my shower, I decided to clean out the fridge. No science experiments, thank goodness. I managed to toss all the half bottles of marinades and sauces that someone bought and then decided they didn't like. I have no idea why they wanted to keep them, but if they want them, it's too late now! mwahahaha!!! My fridge is all clean and sparkly! (and the recycle bin is already half full!) I remember cleaning out the fridge one time and finding nine jars of different types of pickles. NINE! Gah! Like they need NINE different types of pickles!! Sheesh! That's almost as bad as all the remotes they have in the house. *rolls eyes*
I wrote a post for the Inn after Kal posted one of his own (which was great!). Then I read a bit of Faiths & Avatars , which is a really good book to have. I've also been reading some stuff on a few Forgotten Realms sites about different deities and whatnot.
Two more work days!
I am holding Vicki's pet alien hostage. Mwahahaha! Somehow it had fallen behind her computer when she moved her stuff from her old desk. I like the monitor closer to me than she had it, so I pulled it forward and found the little guy hiding there.
Her reply to me was : *gasp* "HOW DARE YOU!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! YOU LEAVE MY POOR HELPLESS ALIEN ALONE!"
*snickers*
Now that Dylan's off to school, I'm going to bed. Night!
