Help! I am in a quandary, I am invited to the PTO meeting tomorrow

I don't do that, either!

Glad you had a good time today!

Think I would have been ready to yank some kid hairless, though! hehe

 
I look at your little gif file and I think of you, holding your ears, or wearing a helmet

as the kids fly around SCREAMING . Glad you made it through.

And indeed, for me as well, this is a private site.

 
ya know, you could make this into an adult only dish by using vodka instead of water.... aka, jello

shooters. of course, you couldn't boil the vodka and would have to wait for it to start to firm up on it's own.

then, maybe with unflavored geletan, you could make martini shooters and suspend olives or onions into the jello.

it's been one of "those" days here "-))

 
I made something similar for a holiday party, using small blocks of cream cheese for icebergs and

I made those black olive penguins for on top of the bergs. very fun.

 
Peyton Place sure does describe small town living, I had no idea. a couple of years after

I moved here I was told about a couple getting a divorce. I thought that was sad but the woman telling me this simply said: "you don't understand, it's not so much that people get a divorce here, it's more like you just lose your turn."

and that summed up small town living for me! '-)))

 
It's not just small towns...

The same thing goes on in city high-rise buildings and even senior housing projects. Cooking has become a competitive sport, and you dare not challenge the current champ, lol. If I were in your shoes, I'd take something safe like a fruit plate. It won't compete with their baked goods, and people who want to remain slim or healthy will have an option. And I would praise that Dirt Cake like it was the best thing in Creation! I'd also ask for the recipe, because that's the ultimate praise, lol.

 
Whoa Randi, what a fab idea. You could add a packet of unflavored

gelatin to give it more body since the vodka would make it softer. I like the idea of Martini shooters too!

 
I didn't get a chance to make this today,

come to find out that I purchased gummy bears instead of gummy fish. I know these kids and I would have heard no end of it had I drowned gummy bears. I actually found gummy sea animals today, so thank goodness the gummy bears have a reprieve!

 
Actually, it was my own relatives I had in mind. No offense Dawn - SORRY! smileys/frown.gif

I didn't realize the food was for a kid's party!! That makes ALL the difference in the world... a 'dirt cake', then, would be the perfect type of dish to bring. I had assumed this was for an adult party only!

Sometimes we don't realize how something may 'sound' when written down and without benefit of vocal inflection. We were all just trying to make you feel more at ease and confident in yourself - didn't mean to do it at the expense of someone else. Hope you can forgive us!

 
Hey, don't feel bad....

there is no apology needed. I know where you heart is, and it is a good place. And your apology makes it even more clear. The written word can be tricky online. Thank you though, and it ended up that the dirt cake was for the adults. The food was barely a thought, which will be something I am going to change, slowly.

 
Ang, could you please post the link to the cookies. I tried to find them and could not, thanks!

 
Actually, I am kind of used to chaos, however,

I went to the skating party for the childen at my son's school. It was a reward for scoring 80% or above on the standardized tests (and I have problems with that concept), and was surrounded by hoards of children on roller skates and blades, flying past me, falling down (which totally freaks me out now), and almost running into me and my splint. I had to take a Xanex when I got home. That was the day that I would have liked a lime helmet!
