Marybeth's Musings

Oct. 4, 2009 - I LOVE FALL!!

Okay, so I was watching a football game yesterday and I got this “I want something cold and kind of Chocolaty” feeling! :) So I went in the kitchen and found a recipe for this:

(it comes from hillbillyhousewife.com!)



It was scrumptiously delicious! Here is how you make it!

  • 1-1/2 to 2 cups ice water
  • 1-1/2 cups nonfat dry milk powder
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 to 1-1/2 trays of ice cubes, as much as you can spare
  • 2 tablespoons corn oil plus a 5-second squirt of non-stick spray for emulsification purposes

Place all of the ingredients into the blender, including the oil and the non-stick spray. Use less water for thicker milk shakes and more water for shakes that are easy on your blender motor. The blender should be about 3/4’s full. Place the lid on. Process for a full 2 minutes. Pour into cups and serve. Makes 4 - 12oz servings. It is really good!!

Ah...I absolutely love fall! This weather is SO wonderful!! I just LOVE it! It feels so good here with the window open! Who else loves fall? :) Here is a picture I took last fall! :) It isn't a very good picture...I just love the color of the leaves! :)


Okay, so I changed my template AGAIN. I kind of like this one better than the other one. :) Sorry to keep changing. I'll try not to keep on doing that. :]

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!

Oh and, please go click on the button on my sidebar for iheartministry's blog! That is an amazing blog that 3 of my friends here on HSB share! You should definitely go check it out!!

Hey Mary,

It's pretty hard to make a template with two sidebars...I spent a long time trying to make Felicity's template have two sidebars. :)

Umm, my game will probably end around 6:00.

See you Saturday!!

lol I know, that was soo funny. ;)

Hi Marybeth,
I guess the answer to my question was yes?? I'm so happy!
Thanks for praying...I really need them right now. I am SO hoping I don't have a swine flu.
Ok, I'll try to find some pictures foe you...;0)
Oh did I tell you I got a cell phone?
Eeew yuck...muddy fields are not fun. I didn't know your brother played soccer.
Oh, great! I'll be looking for your letter.
Ahh yay, my mom and dad are coming home in...2 days, not including today or the day they come home (cause I'll be able to handle that day and today's half over)
Well I need to go finish what I was doing now...and get something to drink. I need to stay hydrated so if I have anything maybe it will get flushed out. :P I think I might be coming down with something...
Love ya!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll be fine. It's been like 6 days...I'm still paranoid because every time I have to cough or any time any part of my body hurts even a teeny bit I freak out. And the swine flu is moving north! It's in WV where my aunt and uncle live. There's like 10 kids sick and home from school because of it. It's crazy and I wish it would go away.
Right now the weather is really cool...I have the office window open and it's blowing in on me...ahh :)
I sent you some pictures last night. I have some more if you want them. :D
Oh thanks. :) I finally talked my parents into letting me get it! It took some work (literally...I had to write a bunch of stuff) but it was worth it. :)
Well I hope to hear back from you soon! ttyl!
Love ya,
Ellyn♫♪♥

Hey Mary! Mary! It's been over a month since you have posted last!!! :o You need to post! :) Sorry that I haven't gotten on chat in a while. :(
Yes! I love that song but that was the best one I could find...everybody else sang it even weirder! Oh, the other day I had a dream that we were at GreenPeppermint's biology class but they were having it in the woods (for some strange reason, lol, Eric and Jefferey were doing it too also!) So we went in the woods and he told everybody to go off in the woods by their selves and study...so we walked up to Jeffery and he told us to go away because he was studying...it was weird. Haha! :) I LOVE CHRISTmas too! :) Well, i gotta' go! Bye!
Your Friend, Felicitty :)

Thank you! :) I love taking pictures.. it's so fun!

I know...! It's so crazy... my mom and I were looking at our calendar for the rest of 2009 and almost every single day we are doing something. Making cookies... setting up the tree... all that fun stuff! I absolutely love this time of the year... although it is always so busy. :)

Haha hope you had a wonderful time sleeping in your cozy warm bed :D
