Hello fellow sjoggies :D
Back on August 30th, I had a post "So not fair . . . " about my can of vanilla frosting and saltine crackers that I wanted sooooo badly, but put back on the shelf.
Wellllllllllllllllllllllllll . . . . today, when I opened the pantry it was
screaming my name and in order to shut it up, I opened it and ate some of it!! ;D ;D ;D Yum! This frosting was whipped and for a canned frosting, was very good. Licking lips . . . ;D Spread it on some saltine crackers . . . . ahhhhhh. In fact, licking it right off my finger was pretty good too! ::)
In order to make this legitimate as I was eating this frosting w/saltine cracker I was celebrating:
* A former childhood neighbors birthday is today! Happy Birthday Griffin!
* The sun is shining.
* I finally got the kitchen floor mopped that I have been putting off for ever.
* I didn't get a bill in the mail today! :D
* I've enjoyed a quiet day at home today.
So, I finally got that bad boy can of frosting out and opened. I know - I'm bad. ;D Anybody want any frosting on a saltine? You know you do!! hehe
I won't tell, if you don't tell! Shhhhhh, it will be our little secret. ;)

Bucky, H-O-N-E-Y, If it helps any, you have my permission to finish the rest of the icing tomorrow! ;)
It has rained a gentle rain all day here in the hills. Thanks for letting us have a 'gift' of rain. Hear rumbles of thunder, more is due throughout the night! We need rain badly!!!
Okay Bucky, I won't mention it if you don't!
Patze
Mention what??? ;)
I agree...Icing? What icing? 8)
Did someone say something? Dang, there goes my ears again!!! ;D
Patze
Thanks Bucky, you always put a smile on my face!
LOL
LOL Bucky. You are so much like me it's scary!
Cheryl
I LOVE frosting in saltine crackers! There is nothing like that mix of sweet and salt.
Hmm...I've never even thought about an icing/saline combination. I might have to try that someday.
Blue Kat - mmmmm, it's w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l!! ;D
I still have some left if you want to try it. I turned the can around in the refrigerator and have it up on a high shelf - I don't EVEN think the boys know it's there. Believe me, if our son knew it was open - he'd be into it!! (Not a chip off the old block, is he? :D)
Bucky
Nah, not much! ;) :D

Hi all....when I saw the subject I thought well I'll go see what its all about lol. NOt sosure I shoudl have come in here

Linda
Anyone here got any idea what this post is about ;D
Linda49er - welcome. Mmmmmm, frosting on saltine crackers is soooooo good. Sorry, I don't have any frosting in the house either (at the moment ;)).
The frosting was expiring . . . I HAD to eat it - couldn't waste it!! I'm quite proud of the fact it was bought in Feb/March and lasted until Sept/Oct. ;D
Hmmm, do they make a sugar-free frosting? Although, sugar is what makes it soooo good. Sorry Linda you're not suppose to be eating it - neither is my husband. So, that's another reason I HAD to eat it - so hubby wouldn't be tempted by it with his diabetes. Some times you just have to make sacrifices. hehehe
We get in trouble with chocolate too . . there was another thread about that recently. :D
Linda - you'll find all kinds of topics here on the forum - from talking about Sjogren's (duh . . what a great idea!), to talking (griping) about the weather, garage sale finds, recipes, pets, dating, jokes / stories to make us smile, little group adventures, births, deaths ( :'(), helpful tips . . . lots and lots of things. I hope you find the forum helpful to you on your Sjogren's journey. One things for sure . . . . we "get it"! ;)
Have a great day every one.
Bucky
Oh Bucky, you are making me hungry lol!
And don't worry, I can keep a secret.
That's the 'great' thing about brain fog/all those pills sometimes, the fact that I probably might not remember anything at all about this soon!
Atleast I can still laugh about it, hehe.
You and me both Shani, you and me both! Got to love the brain fog...NOT!
Patze
But you haven't explained to us non-USA friends ... what is chocolate frosting and saltine crackers??!! ???
Bucky, I can cope with drooling (as if!!) over food I know, but you have set up a whole new level of food envy now! I am hungry for stuff I don't even KNOW about! (Can you tell I just had a steroid depo?!)
My best guess is that chocolate frosting is something like 'Nutella' - but I wouldn't put it on a salty cracker!! Come on now - put me out of my misery. What were you eating, exactly?! :D XX Ailsa
Ailsa - I was eating some canned chocolate frosting (for cakes) and putting it on saltine crackers. Yum! Don't you have canned frosting where you are? They are wonderful little containers with different flavors of frosting in them - all you do is open the can, and spread the frosting on "whatever" (usually cakes). :D
Frosting is a creamy topping that most cakes have on them made with powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, milk and various other ingredients. Some are made with cream cheese, corn syrup, egg whites, cocoa.
These round cans are already made up frosting, you just open it and spread it.
Trust me . . . it tastes soooooo good. Homemade frosting is better than store bought - but, they're both yummy!
The combined taste of salty and sweet is really good. :D
Bucky ;D
Maybe a couple of word substitutions might help? How about cake icing on soda crackers?
I can't quite bring myself to try it either, Ailsa. When I have soda crackers, I want butter on them if anything, and only then so they will have a wee bit of lubricant, otherwise they are just too dry. I've never been much of a fan of icing or frosting anyway, usually scrape it off a piece of cake (I know, what a waste!) My DH loves Nutella on crackers, when he isn't having peanut butter on them. I don't eat Nutella because of the chocolate (cruel migraine trigger) but I do love the smell of it!
Bucky - I am right there with you. I LOVE frosting. When I was a kid my mom would get mad because I would sneak the tubes of decorating frosting and eat them, then she'd go to decorate a cake and not have any. It was hard to deny being the one to eat them when my mouth was blue!!!
I've never tried it on crackers but now I'm curious!!! Now I have a reason to eat frosting!!!
And by the way, since everyone on here has brain fog I doubt they'll remember your secret anyway!!
Hey Bucky, Have you ever put icing on graham crackers. This is also very good. My mom would do this with the leftover frosting when I was a kid. It really is to die for. I also love the frosting on saltines. Actually, the chocolate frosting is the best. Irish ;D
Okay, okay, I'm going to have to put frosting and graham crackers on my grocery list today.... :)
Hmmmmm, chocolate frosting and graham crackers!
Patze
This week when I went grocery shopping you wouldn't believe what happened! :o
Two cans of frosting . . . one vanilla, and one chocolate hopped into my cart!! ;D
They are nestled away in the pantry for some future indulgence on saltine crackers or maybe even a cake!! ;)
Irish - I have had frosting on graham crackers before too . . that's good too.
Hmmm, with the holidays coming up - maybe, you should put canned frosting on your wish list. LOL It could be Sjoggie "feel good" medicine that tastes good. :D
Bucky
Next, try frosting on popcorn!! I love it! It is the only way I can get popcorn down with the lubricant of the frosting.
I make a batch of homemade butter frosting and keep it in the fridge at all times. Whenever my husband and I watch TV, he pops a bag of microwave popcorn. Then I go for my frosting!! He thinks I am crazy . . . . but it is delicious! Don't knock until you try it!! :)
