Summer Recipe #2- The Spicy Cone less Snow Cone

This works best in a hard plastic cup. In Texas every carbonated beverage that isn't "Dr Pepper" or "Sprite" is called a Coke.   I used the term Cola in this recipe but feel free to use whatever flavor Coke you fancy lol. My favorite coke is " Big Red"

Ingredients:
1 can/bottle of your favorite Cola
1 sturdy cup
3 Tbsp Tajin ( wet or dry)

1. Pour the contents of a can of cola into a plastic cup
2. Place in the freezer for 45 minutes to 1 hr( ish). The cola should be close frozen yet not frozen solid.
3.  Remove from freezer and "squish" the side of the cup with both hands. The cola should be  t a semi-solid semi slush consistency.
( If the cola is too solid, move the cup to the fridge and check back in 3o minutes. If it is still at a liquid consistency, leave in the freezer for 20 minutes then move to step 4)
4.  Add 3 tbsp of Tajin ( wet or dry) or  the spice of your choosing . Some kids liked hot sauce, others used jalepeno juice , WE were children so you had to use what you had!
5. Place a spoon in the cup and enjoy!!😊😍

Welcome back Soap Fiends!!!  It is time for another fun filled show down! Episode 9 proved to be a difficult one for Dynasty and Falcon Crest while Dallas finally found their stride 

 After a brief second look at the 9th episodes this week I have managed to dig up a few gems 

Falcon Crest and Dynasty reminds us to never trust a “ flewed out “city girl, even if they are family ! We also  learn the dangers of being “ flewed out” on a nighttime soap opera.  Will Stephen and Claudia be recast?????

The race for the resident “F-boy” is heating up as Lance jumps the gate at a private estate and Mark shows Fallon that his F-boydome is not up for discussion. 

Dallas conjures up real emotions and the Azul Zeus shows us how to coordinate with 50 shades of blue!

Welcome back Soap Fiends.  

Secrets, Sadness, and surgery. Oh my!  Old insecurities and new love interests keep the bubbles flowing. This episode hits you in all the feels and goes straight for the emotional jugular. Jock drops a forty-year-old bombshell on a vulnerable Ellie just as she decided to confess a little secret, she has been keeping for 4 days. 

The Ewings “kids” complete lack of coping skills are revealed as mama and daddy declare a silent war. Sue Ellen takes the first small steps in searching for her next big mistake. 

 Jock’s impeccable eye for blue clothing earns him the Official title  “The Colbalt Kang”! He is a fool for Azul! The Cornflower cowboy is killing Elli’s confidence and the blue drip game.  As the old saying goes, never trust a vaquero con dinero!!

Hey Soap Fiends!!
 I'm not calling this episode boring .... BUT.............. I will say that this is a much-needed character building episode that may or may not smell like a garbage fire. Kirby comes clean to the resident bad girl Fallon, while Jeff starts to slowly slip into a Crayola Coma. Krystal comes to the realization that trust is a two-way street while Blake tries to forever change the legacy of Denver Carrington!

 New love interest, who dis? This episode is all about wanting what you can’t have. Sue Ellen tries to shop away the blues but picks up a stray cowboy love interest instead. Ray can’t read between the lines and misses a major hint from a former flame.  I discuss Jock Ewing’s impeccable rodeo drip and the evils of daily wear pantyhose.
