I lovelovelove Pinterest. For a writer who plots ( like moi) it’s a visual dream come true. If you click on my personal link in the previous sentence, you’ll see I use it for characterization, writing tips, plotting, and info I need for books about stuff I don’t know about, but that I want to use in the plot/story.
I also troll through recipes and how-to videos. I’m a kinesthetic learner, which means I learn how to do stuff by actually doing it. My husband and daughter can read a manual and put a truck together – or take it apart. I need to be shown how to do it because trying to follow instructional steps has never been my strong suit. I tell you this because I want to explain the title of this blog: EPIC FAILS.
I don’t drink coffee in the morning. I drink decaf tea at night in a ridiculous attempt to help me sleep. It hasn’t so far, but I digress…..
I don’t drink coffee for my caffeine jolt in the morning, I drink DIET MOUNTAIN DEW. I know…don’t judge me! SO when I spotted a video how-to the other day about making Mountain Dew Ice cream, well, I simply lost my mind and knew -KNEW- I had to make it.
There were 4 ingredients: Heavy whipping cream, evaporated milk, DMD and food coloring.
Here are a few snaps of the process I took as I performed them according to the video.
After the requisite 4-6 hours in the freezer, I tried a sample:
I truly wish someone had been home with me to video my reaction when I tasted it. This is as close as I can come to thinking what I must have looked like:
No lie…..
Le sigh.
Now I know why there is an official website called PINTEREST FAILS! Think I should upload mine to their site???
When I’m not attempting to try things NOT in my purview, you can usually find me here:Tweet Me//Read Me// Visit Me//Picture Me//Pin Me//Friend Me//Google+Me//
