Sounds good, but I would have never thought of it :)<br /><br />And oh my, no tea at all, no sweet potatoes and you don't like Papa John's? You'd never make it in my house! I had to learn to drink tea when my hubby and I were dating. I held out on the coffee for about 8 years, but finally gave into that one too. Funny the things we do for love :)<br /><br />Great entry!!!Stacy at Exceedingly Mundanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193142015462051142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27450859.post-5903173142191664932007-01-18T04:57:00.000-06:002007-01-18T04:57:00.000-06:00Oooohhh, I love to moosh up the cake and the ice-c...Oooohhh, I love to moosh up the cake and the ice-cream.

...Natalia - Those additions really MAKE the salad.<br /><br />Gail - I really don't like sweet potatoes! I can eat about two bites and that's all. The casseroles are fine but have SO much sugar in them anyone would like them. I've mashed cake and ice cream together as an "adult," but it was in an experiment ice cream cake. I might have to try it again sometime.<br /><br />Sarah - Yay! We think the same...about Papa John's. Maybe the tea thing is b/c I was a Maryland baby?!<br /><br />Kate - Apparently more people did that than I would have thought! I've made an ice cream cake that way, too! I thought it was pretty good but I need to work on it...hmmm, do I feel an experiment coming on?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00454178191447024827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27450859.post-53340717273029451092007-01-17T08:03:00.000-06:002007-01-17T08:03:00.000-06:00I am not a fan of Papa John's either but I have to...I am not a fan of Papa John's either but I have to tell you Claire that I ALWAYS mashed my cake and ice cream together ever since I remember.

But I only lived there for 6 months of my life, so I doubt that had an effect!<br /><br />Peabody - I'm glad to know I'm not alone!<br /><br />Rachel - It is a fun thing. Somehow mushing it all up is just yummy! The oranges are part of my favorite. The brittle adds some crunch (which my mom thinks is SO important!). But if you do it, be sure to wait to put the dressing on because it "melts" the brittle. Leftovers are wilted but OH SO GOOD!<br /><br />Kristin - Thanks! I always love the refreshing taste!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00454178191447024827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27450859.post-52175828144319378532007-01-16T21:30:00.000-06:002007-01-16T21:30:00.000-06:00I love a good spinach salad.

One of the best salads I've ever eaten was a spinach salad with beans, shrimp and a warm bacon sauce. So spinach and bacon I've done before. My eyes opened up a bit when I read that you added mandarin oranges. But my eyes practically popped out of my head when you also added brittle! That has to be so amazing! What a variety of tastes.Rachel Rubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400333101249137605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27450859.post-85303987934075424752007-01-16T17:47:00.000-06:002007-01-16T17:47:00.000-06:00I'm not a Papa John's fan either.I'm not a Papa John's fan either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27450859.post-33102028008540965452007-01-16T08:51:00.000-06:002007-01-16T08:51:00.000-06:00Are you sure you are from the south?
