My sister just overnighted me ten (10) gobs!

[Bunny]

She made gobs over the weekend, and I was griping because I wouldn't get any. So she overnighted them to me - they arrived at my office today. Now, for health reasons I am not supposed to eat sugar, but these were just too good to pass up. I scarfed one down immediately, now I don't know what to do with the other nine. Hmmm...

In the event you do not know what a gob is, here's a pic:

1. looks like a whoopie pie

If you're having a hard time deciding what to do w/ them, overnight them to my office. I'll take care of that for you.

[Bunny]

4. I'd be glad to overnight them to you, but I worry about their comfort.

You know, being flown to the distribution point, then sitting in a cold truck till delivery. Think of the gobs! Never heard of a whoopie pie, they sound good too!

2. hit someone upside the head with one...they'll be gobsmacked!

[Bunny]

5. Tee. Hee.

:D

3. Your sister is a sweetheart!

:-) What a nice surprise that is!

[Bunny]

6. She threatened to send them to me, and I thought that maybe she

would, but I would not have been surprised or hurt if she had chosen not to. She is a doll, isn't she?

7. Now, that wasn't nice

I've been wanting to make a batch of whoopie pies (that's what they look like to me, too) and I've been resisting...

But...resistance. is. futile.

:hi:

[Bunny]

9. No, it wasn't nice. But it was sure sweet, wasn't it?

Must. Eat. More.

:hi:

8. Sooo.... shaving cream on dark rye?

No really, they look scrumptious.

Sort of a chocolate cream puff? Whipped cream on chocolate cake? Anything else? (Not that you NEED anything else in my book.)

Congrats, Bunny :hi:

Now keep healthy and stay away from that sugar :spank:

[Bunny]

10. It's chocolate cake-y things, but the filling is not cake icing.

I just found that pic on Google to illustrate. The real gob filling is unique - I don't know how to describe it because I don't cook them, I just eat them! It is going to be hard to resist, but I don't want to share them with anyone at work (they're a bunch of hogs!). My kids may eat one or two, but they won't eat them all. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and down one or two more in the next few days. Poor me...:cry:

:hi: Rich!

[reyd reid reed]

12. Oh, it's real healthy stuff.

It's powdered sugar, Crisco and vanilla.

[Richardo]

13. mmmmmmmmmmmmm Crissssco.

:D

22. I'll meet you at the county line!

he-he

11. I think the filling has a base of marshmallow fluff ...

mixed with sugar (?)

[Bunny]

14. No, not marshmallow. I called my sister for the ingredients.

Flour and milk made into a roux and chilled for one hour, powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and a pinch of salt. Whip it together for a long time. Boy is it good!

[Arugula Latte]

15. Dang! That does sound good.

I said marshmallow because I recently saw a thing on Food Network about a place in Maine that makes whoopie pies (Paula Deen's sons visited there). Anyhoo, that bakery used a base of marshmallow fluff. Your sister's recipe sounds better. :9

16. OMG gobs!

I haven't had one of those in ages. Enjoy! :hi:

[Bunny]

17. You're a good Pittsburgh girl, so you'd know a real gob from a fake

one! The store bought kind so totally suck - homemade is far superior, isn't it? :hi:

[miss_american_pie]

18. Oh you bet

And the reason I haven't had one in years. Maybe that'll be my weekend baking project. :hi:

[xchrom]

19. that is just the sweetest thing ever!

and i think it is your familial duty to eat every last on -- if nothing else to protect mankind from a bad gob -- just in case.

[Bunny]

20. The old Catholic guilt still kicks in. Now I feel compelled to defend

our family honor. Sigh.

;)

[tigereye]

21. they look good!
