My freezer is empty. What are the pink pizza puff looking things?

Toby said...

Oh yeah, I had troubles pronouncing hamburger when I was wee. I said Hanna-burger. I guess you had to be there, cause I don't see the cuteness either. :)

OK, I am guessing someone got their hands on Laffy Taffy and broke it into pieces and put it there to save it.
MY guess.

I went and got my kid and showed her the picture just now.

"Kid," I said, "what gives with the pink things?"

"That," she said, "is frozen Laffy Taffy that makes a delicious hard treat. And it is not for saving. It is for getting it hard."

So ~d, I believe that gets you two points.

Frozen Laffy Taffy, anyone?

Nobody said...

Oh, I thought soggy chicklets or something?!

Toby said...

I'm a man.

Good God! No room for beer mugs to chill!You need two freezers!I am so sorry I did not have any idea...

See I was quite happy in my ignorance , NOW there are things I need to know.
1.What the hell is Laffy Taffy ?
2.What is wrapped in tinfoil in the tupperware tub (bottom right) and pocking out of the tube (top right)

The truth is out there (apparently)

PDD said...

Okay, I am thinking that maybe this time your daughter thought the gum needed to be put in the freezer to keep from going bad?

PDD said...

I just read all the comments. What in the hell is Laffy Taffy?

Erin O'Brien said...

NG: "Soggy Chicklets" the possiblities are endless.

Toby: I am a woman. We ought to get together sometime.

Josh: Please feel free to send donations. I am glad to see someone recognizes the difficulty of the situation.

Beast: This is Laffy Taffy.

Now then, there are three tinfoil wrapped discs in the tupperware. Each contains an equal amount of salami forwarded to us by my mother-in-law who used to eat salami but no longer will due to a diet restricted by fear. The packaging is hers. We are to return the tupperware after eating the salami and discarding the tinfoil.

The tube is one of those new-fangled wine buckets.

Inside of the new fangled wine bucket is a lemon bread that was given to me as a gift by a friend. We should eat it. It's been in there too long.

Good god, you people know way too much about me.

i wish i had taken pictures of all the odd things under my daughters bed and yes it must be universal , stuff in the freezer. 14? I wonder what mine will do now--never to late to document.
your daughter must crack you up every day.

This is an example of what life is all about. Doing stuff.

Erin O'Brien said...

PDD: see my previous comment. you and I were posting at the same time!

nadina: time is goig so fast, I could weep.

jw: tks!

vince: exactly right, my friend.

Jozee said...

Obviously your M-I Law"s wrapping style hasn't been passed down yet. Good thing the salami is tightly sealed or else there'd be strawberry -salami Laffy Taffy.

Cute.

I 'm the only wacko making strange things in the freezer these days at our house.

Don't blink! ;-)

Jesus Toast said...

Jessica? Do you have a son or a daughter?

Toby said...

I like that idea.

~d said...

God. Scary how a Mom can tell these things, huh? YAY for me-only two points? (pouts)

Lindsay: said...

was it green, the lighter?

because i think it was forcibly exploded and set into a found-object sculpture.

Roxi said...

I used to put spoons with peanut butter on them in the freezer.. that was my fun frozen snack..

Mackenzie said...

It looks like a pink tree. Very artistic.

The only problem is that now it will taste like freezer. I hate that.

Anonymous said...

I don't understand how anybody can break laffy taffy apart that symmetrically. I thought they were chicklets because of their perfect shape.

jamwall said...

Mmmmmmmm.......pepto snacks!
