Funny Friday: All Washed Up

Today’s post is May’s Funny Friday, a regular feature published on the last Friday of every month. Funny Friday is a collaborative project. Each month one of the participants submits a picture, then we all write 5 captions or thoughts inspired by that month’s picture. Links to the other bloggers’ posts are below. Click on them and see what they’re come up with. I hope we bring a smile to your face as you start your weekend.

1. Shoe yelling to his spouse down the beach: But I don’t want a separation. I loooovvvvvveeeee you . . .

2. Shoe to himself: That’s it. It’s over. I’m all washed up . . .

3. Shoe to himself: I’ll just sit here and wait for the other shoe to drop . . .

4. Shoe, sad about his separation and drunk, singing on the beach: ♪ ♫ ♬  One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do . . . ♪ ♫ ♬

5. Shoe, starting to feel a little better, to himself: I need to put this on my Match.com bio, “enjoys long walks on the beach”.


And now for something yummy:

Printable Recipe
 
Ingredients:
1 stick butter, softened
3/4 stick margarine, softened
¾ cups sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 TBSP Irish Cream Liqueur
2 TBSP Kahlua
2 1/2 cups flour
1 TBSP instant coffee granules
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
 
½  stick butter, softened
1/2 cup semi sweet or dark chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 TBSP Irish Cream Liqueur
1 TBSP Kahlua
OPT: milk, if needed
 
Directions:
*Cream the butter, margarine and sugars until smooth. Beat in the egg and liqueurs. Beat in the flour, coffee granules, baking soda and salt starting at the lowest speed until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
*Place the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap. Enclose in the wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover baking sheets in parchment paper.
*Take the dough out of the fridge and roll into approximately ¾ inch balls.
*Bake for 13 - 15 minutes until the bottoms are browning. Remove from baking sheet to cool completely.
* Melt chocolate chips and set aside.
*Beat the butter until smooth, then beat in the melted chocolate chips. Slowly and carefully beat or mix in the powdered sugar.
*Mix in the liqueurs a little at a time until the frosting is of spreading consistency. Start with 1 TBSP of Irish Cream and 1 TBSP of Kahlua, then add more Irish Cream as needed. If it is still not thin enough, add milk 1 tsp at a time.
*Using a knife, spread about 1 TBSP of the frosting between the flat sides of two cooled cookies to form a sandwich cookie.

    The Mudslide cookies sound really great. Is there a specific brand of instant coffee you like?

    1. No, as far as I'm concerned instant coffee is just for baking and one brand words as well as another.

  11. Match.com profile "long walks on the beach", hahaha, love it!
    What time is the SHOE DROP? Does it come with fireworks?
    Those cookies look delicious! Were those the ones you referred to the other day? When only three were left from the ton you baked?

    1. Well, in the cookie it will but not in the filling. You could always have a drink while baking them . . .
