Lexi is a vary astute young lady.
She is a strong-willed and forceful young lady who doesn't kowtow to adults if they're jerks just because they're older. Also athletic
and very handy with both fists and feet as a couple of overly
persistent young men have learned the hard way. That is a very good
thing for girls in todays' world.
Sounds like my grand-niece Katie. She plays varsity football on her high school team - on merit. She is also "well endowed". I asked her if they have developed a padding/protector to keep her attributes unharmed. She told me that an opposing player once groped her in the scrum. Then she said, "I'll bet he's sorry he forgot his cup." Bv)=
She is also a mouthy brat! I myself have been on the receiving end
of her caustic sarcastic wit on occasion.
Now that she and her sister along with their older cousin and her
baby boy have come and gone I am stuck with some things that I
wouldn't ordinarily buy or eat: caramel ice cream sauce used to make atrocious coffee mixtures in the style of Starbucks, marshmallow
Fluff and Nutella. I have figured out how to doctor them up so that
they make tolerable ice cream sundae sauces.
The caramel sauce got lemon juice to counter it's overly sweet
nature, plus apricot nectar and dark rum to give it some character.
I'd have just mixed it with Hershey's syrup and the marshmallow fluff. I scream sundaes are supposed to be decadent and tooth-achingly sweet.
Sprinkle on some chopped nuts for a nod toward balancing the sweet.
The Fluff got enough milk stirred into it to make it a pourable
sauce.
The Nutella received enough rye whisky to turn it into a pourable
sauce as well.
Nutella is best spread on buttered toast.
I picked up both Rocky Road and Heavenly Hash along with crushed
walnuts, slivered almonds, dessicated coconut and granola to make a
host of interesting sundae combinations.
No maraschino cherries and whupped cream?
