On this second day of Christmas, or third day depending on your reckoning, a present and a treat.
My Grinch mug ended up with a big chip so it couldn't be used to drink from. Himself gave me a new mug. The Grinch is savoring his coffee/tea and the saying: I have either the time nor the crayons to explain this to you.
Himself had requested a Whoopie Pie as a treat he wanted at Christmas. I had every intention of making whoopie pies, but just haven't felt well enough to bake so I ordered some from the grocery store and had them delivered.
The consensus was the cake part was delicious, but the cream filling was really just a glob of canned frosting. Not the best, but the best I could do under the circumstances.

Sorry the whoopie pie was not as good as anticipated Looked like an awesome cup Happy T
ReplyDeleteThe mug is very cute
DeleteHappy T-day, CJ. Love the new mug and the whoopie pie idea. Sometimes we have to compromise to get things accomplished and sometimes it is the thought that counts. Great thinking. You can always whip some handmade ones up later like for New Years. Stay warm, Happy New Year and many hugz
ReplyDeleteI have the ingredients so maybe for New Years
DeleteI am loving the new mug, but sorry to hear the filling on your whoopie pie just didn't cut it. But you are right, you make the best out of what's available. I hope you are feeling better soon. And we're warming up some too-hurrah for that. Happy T day. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteLooks like 50s are predicted to ring in the New Year
DeleteSorry to hear you aren’t feeling well — I hope you recover soon and can make whatever treats you feel like making!
ReplyDeletebest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks, Mae
DeleteI have never had a Whoopie pie but that pic is making me want to try one! (Hope you're feeling better every day!)
ReplyDeleteWhoopie Pie is the official dessert of Maine. If you want to try awesome Whoopie Pies, go to Maine!
DeleteI love whoopie pies - yum! We don't have them in the shops here so I make mine from a recipe book that I bought when we were in Maine 😊. Hope your feeling better soon, I've been unwell over Christmas too. Happy T Day wishes, enjoy the rest of the holidays and wishing you all the very best for the New Year! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteMisery loves company. I hope you're feeling better soon.
DeleteI haven't had a whoopie pie in forever. Looks good even though the filling wasn't that great. I like your mug too. Have a nice day today.
ReplyDeleteThe cake was really good.
DeleteLove the quote on the mug! never had a whoopie pie, Happy Holidays and Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteCanned frosting doesn't sound too good, but sometimes you have to make do. Your health and well being is more important. I hope the remaining days of the year will be good ones for you and a happy new year to you.
ReplyDelete😊
DeleteLove the mug! Sorry the cake was not so good, always a pity to spoil something with a cheap filling. Happy T Day, and hope you soon feel better! Valerie
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteI've never had a whoopie pie, but I do have a Grinch mug. Happy Day Whatever of Christmas ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd the Whatever Day of or Day After, the most important part is the celebration
DeleteI'm sorry to hear you ae not feeling well. I hope this too will pass.
ReplyDeleteThe Grinch mug is great! And the whoopie pie looks good but you know what it should taste like (I have no idea) and if it doesn't come up to expetations then that is sad, especially at Christmas.
I'm sorry to be late but happy T-Day and a happy New Year!,
Hugs,
Lisca
Thank you , Lisca
DeleteOOOOhhh whoopie pies are so so good!!! So nice of hubby to replace your scrooge mug.. I have a gargoyle mug that hubby broke one year and lo and behold he found the same mug online!!! Received your Christmas card today!!! Could have come yesterday as we forgot to check the mail! Thankyou so much!! Happy Tday! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the card arrived
DeleteLOVE the new mug and I've never had a whoopie pie. Feel better soon, dear.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteI had to google Whoopie Pie.
ReplyDeleteSame as mince pie, more or less!
In Perth for Christmas we got the latter and I misunderstood, thinking of hearty minced pies. Duuuuhhh...
Hope we are on the green side health-wise soon! Sorry for being late, still sick (but heart-wise all OK).
A Whoopie pie isn't a minced pie. It's 2 fluffy, chocolate cake type cookies with a cream filling sandwiched between. Mince pie is a dried fruit filling.
DeleteLove the mug! Yum to whoopie pies but I know what you mean about store bought. Not as delicious as homemade. I hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Tea Day,
Kate
thanks
