Gotta love the girl's hair! Step 1: wrap front part of hair around hot curling iron. Step 2: hold for several seconds or until you smell burning hair. DO NOT BRUSH OUT! Step 3: spray with massive amounts of ozone-depleting hair spray to set.

And, yes, there are incriminating photos of me somewhere with hair like that.

I use to use like 2 cans of blue aqua net a week in the 80s! ::ducking and hiding from Al Gore who is probably getting on his private plane to come lecture me::

Not until he's done with me. I can't remember what brand of hairspray I used, but I remember those maroon cans of Vidal Sassoon mousse being ever present on my dresser from 1984 to 1987.

Good thing I've been planting trees! :)

Al Gore's private jet is definitely gonna be racking up the miles!!! :)

I was a purple can aqua net user myself in the 80's! I could stand in the middle of a tornado with not a hair outta place.

I need to google to see if I can find this recipe!

Wow, that is a blast from the past--I remember my mom and grandma making frozen desserts in the aluminum ice cube trays like that!

I have had much success with this ice box cake.

The perfect cake to make in these hot summer days.

I unspammed you! ::raising finger to LJ!!!::

My easy summer pie:

graham cracker crust
1 pt vanilla ice cream softened
6oz frozen lemonade (hard to find 6 oz, have to use half of a 12 oz) thawed
1 8oz container of cool whip thawed

blend the 3 ingredients together, pour into graham cracker crust and freeze at least 4 hours.....you can serve directly from freezer, but if you wait maybe 10 minutes that might help avoid brain freeze :) it is tart and creamy and hits the spot on really hot days!!! store in freezer too.....

Thank you!

Or, instead of using half a 12 oz. can of lemonade, you could double the recipe and make two. I could eat one.

EXCELLENT IDEA!!!

Ok... I'm half awake and obviously didn't read down the comments list far enough LOL! I see a couple of recipes and I'm saving them.

When we were young, my sister and cousin used to make Stir & Frost cakes during family get-togethers. Their tendency to take “snapshots” of the batter before throwing it in the oven meant that the actual cake was barely thicker than the layer of frosting,

[misstia]

cake & frosting being equal sounds like a good equation to me! :)

Those were the best cakes - and I wish they were still available. If only because I'm lazy and it would be one less pan to wash. :)

I remember those cakes when I was a child. But there were 5 in our family and they were NEVER big enough! We thought the little pan and everything "all in one" was so amazing.
