A Shot of Love

A few years back when I had the restaurant,I was really into reality shows. I searched for a good name for a dessert that instantly had the toughest critic fall in love. I've used this recipe for a bridal shower,Birthday cakes and of course daily enjoyment. If strawberries are out of season I use oreos.Normally I  wouldn't participate in sharing recipes with everybody,but this is one everyone should try.........                                                                                                  

1 pt fresh ,juicy,ripe strawberries
1/2 c sugar
cut up the berries throw the sugar on top and throw it in the fridge
it may take awhile for the berries to suck up all the sugar so I get
busy doing other stuff like whipping the cream for this you will need
1qt heavy whipping cream(chilled) and
2tbls confectioners sugar
Divide the whipped cream in two.Prep the cups.When I feel like
being lazy I use nilla wafers for the bottom-home made butter cookies taste best
 Check on the berries they should be about half way. When they merge
and form syrup they're drunk! The wire attachment works best to whip the
1 pk of cream cheese softened
The whip works best because you want it to be fluffy.Slowly add the drunken
 berries.Save the syrup for your garnish.Fold half the whipped cream into the
berry-cheese mix.How you want to slap it together is up to you.I make layers
The second half of the whipped cream gets user in this process -try and end up
with whipped cream piped on top some syrup and the crushed butter cookies.
Get a spoon and enjoy if they last for more than 30 min refrigerate.

Back to the basics

I  apologize ladies and gentlemen for not getting back to you in a timely fashion. I've just been on vacation for a while. The boys like to go to slippery rock for camp.Then i have the annual family picnic for football,next came the garnet and gray game,and the much loved school clothes shopping-I wonder who everyone wants to be this year! As I move forward on my journey thou school year 2011 I cant help but to take a stroll down memory lane. So here goes the infamous when i was a kid speech. When i was a kid I wore any kinda clothes my mom could afford. I didn't even get new clothes i had to wear hand me downs from my older sister who got them handed down from my oldest sister. Shoes didn't cost $125-  twenty-five maybe if your parents had a lot of money.We got one new outfit other than that we found jobs to get money. I didn't sit in the house all up in grown folks business,I found something to do or would end up washing walls.Talk back and get smacked! Today I ruin my kids lives on a daily basis I never knew how much fun my mom was really having.When I reminisce about the good ol' days all the teenage drama,broken hearts,vanishing friendships and all the other crap,I'm kinda glad to be on the other end of the stick. People often say" if I could turn back the hands of time"- I personally wouldn't.You see when my family tells me that I'm getting to be just like my mother I don't mind.Who wouldn't like being the bane of someones existence? Really I feel like the oatmeal that allows the rest of the family to be pop tarts!
