one pound oreos, one cup chocolate chips, one can sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 gallon of ice cream and two cubes of butter

Monday was Cousin Mike's (24th) birthday. (he was in such a good birthday mood in his new birthday shirt that he was giving out birthday hugs!) So after their attempts at polishing off the biggest burritos in the world (the kind where they give you free dessert if you finish it-since you'll prolly be hungry for dessert?), the crew all came over for some Mud Pie. (see post title for recipe) It was delightful to fill my new home with so many people that I like! Naturally, we didn't bother with plates and just went right to it. (Really, if you don't even have chairs, why bother with plates?)
And naturally, (seeing as Casey and Courtney were both present) the lights got turned off (and the music up). And, naturally, (seeing as it was his birthday) Mike started dancing. He found his sweet spot over by the swamp cooler. Here's a little taste of what a treat it was: (I know it's horizontal, but trust me, it's worth the kink in your neck)
And naturally, since seating is limited, sharing was encouraged (?):
















After everyone left, I looked at our counter and saw this:
(the cream from one pound of oreos) and I had three thoughts: -no wonder we have ants -I miss carrie (she'd eat this) -all we do is party.










Happy Birthday, Cuz!

Well mudpie is so much better out of the pan than from a plate. And what's even better than that is mudpie straight from the pan without even taking it out of the freezer. Just standing there with your head shoved in the door scooping "just one little bite" after "one more little bite".
mmmm
