@emeraldcity1214 I can eat Oreos in that form and crumbled in ice cream. That's about it. Have you ever made those things with Nutter Butters? Amazing.

kiki047 · February 2019

@rachelredhead I'll admit, my favourite way to eat oreos is in a milkshake or McFlurry. Or are those chocolate wafer log cakes a thing in the US? This is one of my favourite desserts made with Cool Whip (or real whipped cream, if you fancy) and chocolate wafer cookies. It's the best of both worlds.

emeraldcity1214 · February 2019

@emeraldduchess I haven't. DH is extremely allergic to peanuts so I try to minimize PB in the house. That sounds delicious though.

b_1029 · February 2019

I knew I loved you ladies. The Oreo conversation has now spanned 2 days and nearly 3 pages 😂

@kiki047 hmm I don't think we have those here in the US but that does look tasty!

@b_1029 if TB had a survey.... Q: what was your favorite part about being a part of the Bump community during your TTC journey?
A: Talking about Oreos for 2 days straight in late February 2019 🤣

marebear15 · February 2019

@emeraldcity1214 - I made Oreo balls one Christmas! They were so rich.

rachelredhead · February 2019

@dpchickens I knew a girl who made Oreo truffles in college and called them Heartbreak truffles. She’d make a batch whenever a girlfriend went through a break up. She was basically on call in the sorority and always had the ingredients handy, bless her. 😁

dpchickens · February 2019

rachelredhead They are amazing! AND super easy. You take a pack of oreos and crush them (I use my food processor), add in a brick of cream cheese. Then refrigerate them, roll them in balls, and dip them in dark chocolate. Mmmm......

emeraldcity1214 · February 2019

@spacemountaineer I usually use white and drizzle chocolate or sprinkle crumbs from the Oreos.

emeraldcity1214 · February 2019

I may need to go out and buy the ingredients to make a batch now. 😂

dpchickens · February 2019

emeraldcity1214 Right!?!? This thread makes me want to make them ASAP!

emeraldcity1214 · February 2019

I will have them for a week if I make them. I can only eat 1 or 2 at a time.

shamrocandroll · February 2019

@spacemountaineer YES!!!

You guys... I'm gonna weigh 400 lbs if I hang out here for too much longer. I want all of the Oreos now.

kels0091 · February 2019

this Oreo convo has made my entire week.

And to everyone who hasn’t tried the cinnamon bun ones, they taste IDENTICAL to those cinnamon dunkaroos from back in the day.

I dont know if randomly we have it only here in canada but if anyone wanted them and had a P.O. Box or something I’d totally mail packages out haha everyone should experience these! They’re fantastic

kels0091 · February 2019

Kinda a random question. Has anyone had a professional massage ?
I got one yesterday at a spa and my neck is so sore I can barely move my head. Is that at all normal ? My bf is telling me he thinks it’s normal because I haven’t had one before. I don’t know if I should call the spa and put in a complaint or something. What would you do ? It was crazy expensive too which makes it even worse. I feel like I wasted money on something that caused me pain

kbrown2385 · February 2019

@kels0091 I def need to find the cinnamon bun ones now! From my one experience with a prof massage, I was told to drink a ridiculous amount of water so that wouldn’t happen. Im sure someone smarter than me will chime in if I’m wrong.

ruby696 · February 2019

@kels0091 That is not normal. I would definitely call.

shamrocandroll · February 2019

@kels0091 I have had several professional massages. I would say it's normal to have muscle soreness (as you would after a hard workout), but not pain. Would you describe the pain as muscle soreness, or actual neck pain? Because you shouldn't have severe neck pain from a massage. Also, it's important to drink a lot of water immediately after a massage, as well.

b_1029 · February 2019

@kels0091 did they do a lot of neck manipulation?

kiki047 · February 2019

Speaking of Oreos, did y'all hear about the Girl Scout who photoshopped her cookie boxes to make Momoas instead of Samoas?

marebear15 · February 2019

@kiki047 - Lol yes I heard about that. She made tons of sales! Now I need my samoas and thin mints.

emeraldduchess · February 2019

@kiki047 that is hilarious! I need to see if I have any girl scouts in my class so I can buy cookies. Tagalongs are my faves, but the traditional butter ones are the best for dunking in tea.

kiki047 · February 2019

@marebear15 @emeraldduchess our Girl Guides up here don't have the good cookies. We have the plain choc/vanilla or thin mints but that's it.

dpchickens · February 2019

kels0091 So my sister is a massage therapist actually... she does a LOT of deep tissue massages, and is actually her favorite thing to do and receive. I HATE getting a deep tissue massage because it hurts like Hades. I have a very low pain threshold and bruise easily, so I don't like it. However, in order to work the knots out correctly, you sorta gotta suck it up some. According to her, you're supposed to feel pressure and sore if they're working out knots, and shoudl feel a lot better in a few days. Drink LOTS of water right after and don't exercise for at least a few hours after.

She said to try to go back and get a nice swedish massage the next time (which won't have as much deep tissue pressure), if you are having pain issues and don't prefer the workout feeling afterwards. If it persists you can call them and/or talk to your doctor. She said you can always call to mention it to the spa, because they can put it in your books that you had a problem, and possibly get a discount to go back and get it looked at by them. Did it hurt during the massage? Because another possibility is that while they were working things out, something else got a little kinked and needs to be worked out? But definitely tell the therapist if you're feeling pain WHILE they're doing it... especially if the pressure is too hard!!!

dreamscapes_ · February 2019

Has anyone ever tried the copycat recipes for Samoas or Thin Mints? They don't come with Jason Momoa, but the Samoa one I tried was tasty!

kbrown2385 · February 2019

Umm everyone who loves thin mints, Samoa’s and Tagalongs need to hit up an aldi. They have knockoffs year round and they are delicious.

rachelredhead · February 2019

Damn. Samoas with a side of Momoa.

dreamscapes_ · February 2019

@kbrown2385 I've never had the ones from Aldi, but I've had the Keebler version (I think they're called Coconut Dreams).

kbrown2385 · February 2019

@dreamscapes_ I highly recommend. They are like $1 a pack.

dreamscapes_ · February 2019

@kbrown2385 I have to go to Aldi anyway

kels0091 · February 2019

So no one told me about the water thing! I probably drank less then a litre since the massage which isn’t a lot! So I’m going to drink an insane amount starting now.
It was a Swedish massage. I would describe the pain as a pinch or something similar to that. It didn’t hurt during the massage but as soon as I was getting off the table I noticed the pain and it slowly progressed in the evening and overnight.

Thank you you all for the input and suggestions !

@b_1029 We just got home from date night and DH has no idea why I'm laughing hysterically at your update 🤣

brookert615 · February 2019

@kels0091 Hope the water works and you feel better soon!

Also - you guys and your Oreos 😂😂😂. Although I have found a love for Samoa’s 😍😍😍 so at least I don’t feel so left out now haha. Honestly having Jason Momoa makes them even better - that girl is already a marketing genius lol. DH brought some home today and I’m mad because he totally knows I’m on my diet and the Brookie monster is in full force! I got a healthy recipe for Samoa donuts that I’m going to try out. I know it won’t be close but hopefully satisfies the craving! I’m going to tinker with the recipe to make crunchy cookies rather than donuts. If it’s a success I’ll post on the baking thread!

kels0091 · February 2019

Who wants to bet I’ll be waking up in the AM to a warning and or ban for being mean to the latest troll ? 🤷🏻‍♀️

brookert615 · February 2019

@kels0091 I think you’re fine!

bakerstreetboys · February 2019

Ooh, missed the cookie discussion! I'm not a fan of Oreo's, but I can offer up Timbits

emeraldcity1214 · February 2019

I check my inbox regularly bc I get warnings for stupid stuff.
