Exactly how big is your herd? Mine is currently 5 strong :) plus one grandpuppy that visits often when my daughter needs puppysitter.

@armywifeprepper At the risk of making myself look like one of those people who end up on the Discovery Channel we have 2 girls, 3 dogs 11 cats 3 fish and one water turtle. The animals are a weakness for all of the humans that inhabit the house. I have never met an animal I did not love. Consequently when they turn up, I have a hard time saying go away. I believe there is a reason for each one of them, I also believe that there is no coincidence that God spelled backward is dog!

Are those n ur book and is ur book download only or is it hard copy? If. I understood correctly u download It...... thanks dot

[atticus9799]

@polkadot865 The beverage recipes are not in the Holiday Helper.  It is an e-cookbook available for instant download. This makes it more affordable and available since a book needs a publisher and I self published this one. If you purchase the book you get an email with a link to download it to your computer. Hope that helps. Noreen : )

I may be retarded, but wouldn't the pudding mixes turn it into pudding after 5 minutes?

[atticus9799]

@anastasiabarajas Noooooo. The pudding mix has cocoa, powdered sugar and corn starch and a modified food starch sometimes called clear jel in it that would only make it set up if you used cold milk and put it in the fridge. In this application it gives the cocoa drink a nice creamy, unctuousness. Meaning it gives it a creamier, thicker mouth feel than if you had left it out. It will only turn to pudding if you use the box directions. I'm not big on directions. I like to pave my own way.

OK, I sneezed when I smelled the cocoa smoke! No really I did!

@atticus9799

I've even used the cook kind of pudding to make cocoa and it gives a creamy mouth feel you can't get with milk, there is a silkiness that is beyond good.

Looks awesome! Hubby will absolutely LOVE this! Question on the powdered milk though. I understand that there is a BIG difference in instant (the regular kind at the store) and non-instant (cannery) milk powders. Would the measurements be different depending on which milk powder was used?

Yummmmy!

Jamie Oliver is my favorite!!! I also realy enjoy "Bitchin Kitchen" with Nadia G....she is funny and knows her stuff too. My kids really love to watch her. I bet your girls will like her too. :)

Awesome!!

I knew I'd like you for more than your food.. i have 3 cats... the triplets, the lady at our local dump heard them crying... someone threw a whole litter of kittens in their trash... i brought home the survivors. Both the dogs were rescued as well... they are the extras in my videos... gotta be the center of the universe at all times!

I have to laugh out loud. My animals do that to me all day long. The only time they all go out at the same time is first thing in the morning. I should have a revolving pet door. That looks delcious. I'm gonna try it. Thanks.
