I don't know if this is crunchy, but it does get sort of a crust on the outside after awhile.  If this isn't it, maybe some more info?

FLUFFY BOILED FROSTING

1 1/2 cups sugar 2/3 cup water 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar 3 egg whites Pinch salt 1 teaspoon vanilla In a heavy saucepan combine sugar, water and cream of tartar. Slowly bring mixture to a boil, stirring sides of the saucepan with a brush dipped in water to remove any sugar crystals. Cover and boil for about 3 minutes or until a candy thermometer registers 245 degrees. Beat egg whites with pinch of salt until glossy and peaked. Slowly pour in syrup as you continue to beat the whites. Beat until cool and frosting is soft and fluffy. Fold in vanilla

I made 4 different kinds, and they all turned out incredibly good. Here's the combos I used -

Caramel frosting (which I think is something new) + butterscotch chips + half a bag of Heath toffee pieces

Regular chocolate frosting + Hershey's Special Dark chocolate chips + 1 cup chopped walnuts

Milk chocolate frosting + Andes mint chocolate pieces

Coconut pecan frosting + milk chocolate chips

All of them are made the same - microwave the frosting in a bowl for about 90 seconds. It will be bubbly. Stir in chips & nuts/toffee/etc. Pour into lightly greased 8x8 pan. Cool, cut, & eat.

The coconut pecan one tastes like German chocolate candy, and the caramel/butterscotch/toffee one was the biggest hit of the party last night.

Not including lunch (which I generally eat out 3 or 4 days a week) how often do you have dinner out?

We eat out (or order in) way more than I want to, but DH thinks it is easier for me to do so than to cook. We eat restaurant food probably 4 or 5 nights a week, you?

I'm in a phase of craving cold water and ice like crazy these days.  Anybody know what that means, besides perhaps anemia?  I was anemic a while back, but got that taken care of and don't see any reason I should be again.  I've been cutting back on sugar and dieting a little bit, wondering if that could be it?

Whatch'all think?

i have so many emotions running through my mind every single day, but not going to get into all of them here.  i hope i don't have an eating issue/disorder, but sometimes i wonder.  i grew up in a strict household (my dad was immature and always telling me i was fat and needed to lose weight).  i'm an average size 5 foot 7 girl.  i'm 36 now and constantly think about food, how many calories something has, fat content.  i gain weight easily.  i just get so tired of worrying about what i'm going to eat, cause it'll make me fat.  sometimes i will sneak eating food, because my husband will say things like "do you really need that?" and he's just trying to help.  but what i really think is i want is to join WW and have group support from other people that are going through the same thing.  my husband can drink about six sodas a day, eat whatever and he doesn't gain weight.  he doesn't exercise.  it just makes me sad that i have to work so hard to not be huge.  i'm about 165.  i would like to get down to at least 150 or maybe less.  my parents used to tell me when i was little not to waste food (we were poor so wasting food was like wasting money). 

i'm sorry, i'm rambling on, but i really don't have anyone to talk to.  sometimes i think i'd like to see a counselor. (i have never seen a counselor)  i have other issues that bother me but won't get into it. 

thanks for listening, just wondered if anyone else has food issues.  i'm a healthy person.  i don't smoke or drink.  never did drugs.  i try to eat healthy.  i especially overdo it in stressful situations.  yesterday i ate a little less than a pint of butter pecan ice cream.  then i felt crappy the rest of the evening.

well i stop now. 

I have some stay cats, mama and 2 babies at the door. I have been feeding them milk, dog food, whatever they will eat.  Any, one is a little kitten that managed to get inside and I did not know it.  I look in the kitchen and she has a piece of raw chicken.   I had  boneless chicken breasts out to thaw.  Is she going to get sick?  Should I give it back to her.
