Product Reviews:
Amazon Dash Buttons
So Delicious Coco Whip (the link will allow you to put in your zip code and select a product that you are looking for...fair warning, I think that sometimes this search function only pulls up stores that carry any part of the So Delicious product line, not necessarily the project you want to buy.  In my area, I have to go to HyVee to buy the Coco Whip although other stores like Kroger carry other products from this brand.

And a recipe that is great for lactose-intolerant folks (although it would be yummy made with dairy-containing products, too!

Here's a link to the original recipe page, but please note that I have edited the recipe below to reflect the way I actually prepare my version of this.


Easy Key Lime Pie
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup water (boiling)
  • 3 oz package lime flavored gelatin
  • 2 tsp key lime juice or regular lime juice
  • 12 oz of key lime flavored yogurt (I like Noosa and Chobani brands)

I also talk about Siesta Key, FL and a nearby yarn shop, A Good Yarn, as well as a little bit about Illinois politics (sorry, ya'll....it depresses me, too!), The Handmaid's Tale, and I give another shout out to the Fiber Fist Bumps winners that were drawn at the end of episode 12 in the hopes that they contact me!

I also tell a couple tales of early knitting projects that were doomed from the start.   We all have those skeletons in the closet, don't we?
