Hookers on crack.....

8/7/2014

Pam holding a piece of Crack.  The pups are looking on thinking, that looks like something familiar.... 
It was a wild time at the hook-in last evening.  We reached an all time high....we all did crack!  Well, not me actually, I just smelled it so one could say I sniffed crack.  Darn diabetes!  It sure smelled divine and I watched it go into the mouths of my lucky friends and I had to settle for swallowing drool. 

A couple of weeks ago, Pam was telling us about a to-die-for chocolate treat  and last evening she brought in a bag of Crack for us to sample.  None of us having experience with such things, all agreed that Crack was something they would do again, although it could be very addictive!  The recipe will follow for those at home that would also like to try crack.   It looks like a piece of bark but tastes like a slice of heaven.....if it tastes as good as it smells that is.   


Our group was small but lively.  We usually laugh a lot but last night was overly riotous, maybe it was all the sugar!  Four of the diehards showed up so we gathered round and had a grand old time.  
I brought the pups to the hook-in because it started to thunder as I was leaving the house. They didn't mind at all.

Anne was the winner of the Pattern of the Month Club Contest and carried off her three yards of Dorr Natural.  She will be using it to dye for and complete her pattern Alice.   Great job Anne! 
Crack

1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 package butterscotch chipits
1 bag plain potato chips

Melt the semi-sweet and butterscotch chips (microwave or double
boiler...whichever suits you best!)

Mix together.

Crush the potatoes chips and pour into the melted chipits.
Mix well then spread onto a baking sheet.  Put pan in the freezer and
when hard, crack into smaller pieces.

Enjoy!! (best kept in freezer or fridge or mouth)

Hi Katy,

If you can't find a teacher handy you, do a search on Youtube as there are videos on there for Traditional Rug Hooking, I can help you with a starter kit and the basic equipment. If you have any questions ask away!

Kathy, since you are in the US, a great resource for a group +/or teacher near you is ATHA http://www.atharugs.com/
I hope you get a starter kit from Christine and find some hookers near you!

EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET EX HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND OR EX WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND CURE HERPES AND INFERTILITY THAT WORKS WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Contact Great Odunga at [email protected] OR Whats App/CALL +2348167159012

I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Great Odunga and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at [email protected] and later he gave me his Whats-App number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Great Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. My husband and I reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO GREAT ODUNGA. I came online to say this: If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.

Contact his email at [email protected] OR [email protected]

Whats App/Call +2348167159012 and you too will give a testimony too to help others
