Does anyone remember the show Animaniacs? My sis Mary Lynne and I used to watch it regularly, and we generally enjoyed the segment "Good Idea, Bad Idea". Here's a short clip in case you are clueless on the matter.
Although not necessarily as clever or as funny as Animaniacs, I would now like to share with you my own good idea (and bad idea).
Good Idea - Making the following recipe for dessert:
1 white cake mix
1 can lemon pie filling
Cool Whip
Mix cake as directed on box and pour into a 9x13 pan. Place spoonsful of lemon pie filling in blobs over batter. Bake as directed on the box. Let cool completely. Cake batter covers the lemon, so there will be pockets of lemony filling inside. Spread cool whip over cake and chill.
Bad Idea - Just mixing lemon pie filling with yellow cake mix and baking at 350 for 30 minutes.
Anyway, Preston and I went over to Mary Lynne and Nathan's for dinner this fine evening, and Mary Lynne and I decided to make an experimental dessert. I can't really explain how it turned out. It was interesting, to say the least. To describe the "dessert" taste, Mary Lynne said it tasted how Play-Doh smells. Yes, it was THAT good!
Well, I suppose now would be a good time to post something about the happenings in our life. My knee is almost completely better. It's not better enough to go skiing (sorry Preston), but it's completely functional now. I'd like to take this time to thank Janet for being so supportive...er...I mean her knee braces were supportive. Thanks for letting me borrow them. : )
Preston runs again on Friday, and he's been under the time limit every night in his practice runs. Hooray!!! He's been working through a foot injury though, but seems to be slowly recovering. I think he had some sort of pulled ligament or tendon. I seem to have caught Gimp's Disease from him.
We had a super rad Stake Conference this weekend. Elder Holland was here, and he was so much fun! We loved both meetings we attended! It was just a happy, happy weekend, but now we're both alone again (until next weekend). : (

I love it! That is so funny. The good idea version of this dessert sounds really good! I actually think that play dough smells really good, but then if you eat it, not so good. Much too salty for dessert. I'm going to have to try this good idea. I'm glad that your knee is doing better.
I still watch Animacanics with Luke. Great show. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed for Preston.
Okay, so I just watched the little youtube vidoe, and we are not talking about the same show. But it does look like a good one, if only it were still on.
I'm so glad that your knee is doing better! That cake sounds scrumptious! Oh I'm so hungry, I could eat a whole pan of it! Yum yum!
