ELLA'S CRACK

I know that you might be thinking this is going to be a scary post, ya know,
being that I'm an ER nurse and all.
Or maybe,

cuz I take pictures of this:

But no worries.........K?

So before I talk to you about crack we need to sing a song together.
It's gonna be in your head for the entire day.
(And you'll never want to come back here again cuz the song is so
OBNOXIOUS!!!)

OK, 'nuf singin'. Get it out of your head immediately.

So.

A few weeks ago my twin sister, Gigi posted this recipe on her blog. It's a secret Southern recipe from her dear sweet friend Ella. I read the post, thought it was so cute and thought this little lady was the sweetest little thing to finally allow her secret recipe to be shared with the blog world.
I ALSO thought, "hmmm, weird, a recipe with crackers and chocolate."
Well, I filed the whole thing away in the dark recesses of my brain.

OK and just to clarify, Gigi isn't really my twin sister. I don't even have a sister, BUT if I did, it would be Gigi.
Cuz she hates cilantro.
I loathe cilantro.
And we're the same age.
Gigi's middle name is Arlene.
I have an Aunt Arlene.
So you can see how we must have been separated at birth.
She even calls me her evil twin!
I KNOW! Freaky right?

We haven't met.........yet.
She lives in Georgia.
I live in Idaho.

Anyway, I'm at work and I call Susan, one of my co-workers to beg her to work a shift for me cuz I've had it with healthcare.
(I've been told that I put the HEL in healthcare.)

She happens to mention that her son got called on a mission to Georgia. I laughingly tell her that my "twin sister" lives in Georgia and when he gets there he needs to go find Gigi and bring her soul to salvation.
Amen.
OK really Gigi doesn't need savin', she's already a Saint.
Susan, my co-worker agrees to work my shift.
But that's beside the point.
Susan then says that she has an aunt that lives in Georgia. (I know......weird!) Susan says that this aunt is like a second mother to her. She goes on to tell me how sassy this aunt is and how much she loves her.
So I tell Susan that I'll email Gigi Arlene and ask if she knows her.
So I do.
And guess what?

Yep, you got it.

SHE DOES KNOW HER!!!!
Not only does Gigi know Ella, but they've traveled all over together and they party like rock stars all the time!

Gigi emails me with her voice all southern-like and says, "You are a dork. Don't you ever read my blog? Check out my recipe for Ella's crack! You know, the one I posted two days ago? That's her!"
Gigi does a double-eye rollover cuz her twin sister is such a dope.

OK she didn't really smacktalk me but there was a ton of cyber-squealing and "I can't believe its" and stuff!!!!!

I decided I had to make crack in honor of Ella and Gigi Arlene who are friends and neighbors in Georgia.


So Susan (my co-worker) and I could enjoy this treat at work today.

Hi Aunt Ella!!!!!!

Me and Susan and Jaime on CRACK!
Hi Gigi Arlene!!!!!

It's a small world after all.
