WATERMELON EXPLOSION

August 5, 2020August 5, 2020 by Clare Duffy

660 is exactly how many rubber bands it took to take down this watermelon.

Destiny really is great at picking good, ripe watermelon. Two thumbs up for the flavor of this “lawn melon.”

WHEEL OF PUNISHMENT

July 17, 2020July 17, 2020 by Clare Duffy

We asked what weird food combinations people enjoy and lots of folks chimed in with the peanut butter mayonnaise sandwich. Clare had to give it a try.

She specifically went heavy on the peanut butter, hoping to mask the may.

She had to take one bite–one BIG bite.

The peanut butter came through right away. Not so bad.

Mmm…and then the tangy mayo finish! It was not her favorite.

THE MORNING SCRAMBLE’S BASKETBALL BEER CHALLENGE

July 17, 2020 by Clare Duffy

Eric, Clare, and Destiny stepped up to the plate to see if they had what it takes to balance a beer on a basketball, bounce the ball, and catch the beer. They have the hearts of champions, but not the skill.

OREO EATING CONTEST

July 10, 2020 by Clare Duffy

The Morning Scramble was inspired by the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest to have a little eating competition of their own. But instead of hot dogs, they decided to scarf down food they love…like Oreos.

GOOD FORTUNE IN 2020 2.0

July 1, 2020 by Clare Duffy

Clare brought a box of fortune cookies that hopefully contain lots of good fortune for the Morning Scramble in 2020 2.0.

Clare’s fortune was “Even as the cell is the unit of the organic body, so the family is the unit of society.” Is that a fortune?

Eric’s fortune was all about Destiny–“Dreams are like the stars of your destiny.” And Destiny’s fortune instructed her to “Be smart, but never show it.” Done and done.

Anna the tarot card reader helped the Morning Scramble get a glimpse into the future of 2020 2.0.

Destiny pulled the “Judgement” card. She needs to make some decisions in her life, which made total sense to Destiny. She’s 25 and having a quarter life crisis–time to make lots of grown-up choices!

Clare got the “Fool” card. There’s a new beginning on the horizon. She needs to embrace whatever this new experience is.

Eric got the “Devil” card. It means Eric may be facing an addiction. And Eric identified his addiction immediately: sugar! Those quarantine pounds are real!

NEW NEW YEARS EVE

June 30, 2020 by Clare Duffy

Cheers! If you add orange juice to champagne, it’s a mimosa and completely appropriate for breakfast.

We didn’t have a live black cat, but Clare was able to borrow her daughter’s old Halloween costume.

Eric walked under a ladder. Bad luck!

Breaking a mirror is 7 years bad luck. Clare found an enormous hammer to break the tiny mirror on an old make up compact.

The hammer was huge, but that tiny mirror was STRONG! It took 4 whacks to break that thing.

Eric opened an umbrella inside. Hopefully all that bad luck stays in 2020 and we usher in tons of good luck for 2020 2.0!

CHRISTMAS GIFT EXCHANGE

June 25, 2020June 25, 2020 by Clare Duffy

Clare had Eric and she got him some butter pecan popcorn and a Raygun t-shirt that says “2020: No Fair.”

Eric treated Destiny to some Hawkeye vodka and a kit to make “Brunch Punch.” Yum!

Destiny had Clare and gifted her with a bottle of wine and some cute earrings.

CHRISTMAS 2020 2.0

June 24, 2020 by Clare Duffy

Merry Christmas from the Morning Scramble!

No holiday celebration is complete without cookies. Eric created his family favorite, spritz cookies. Destiny was in charge of baking them and they were a little on the burned side.

They’re still tasty with a cup of coffee!

Clare’s family tradition is decorating sugar cookies.

She’s meticulous about crafting the perfect cookie.

But if anything goes wrong, she recommends adding more frosting and sprinkles. Then eat immediately.

June Santa is going to love these cookies!

THANKSGIVING 2020 2.0

June 19, 2020June 19, 2020 by Clare Duffy

Thanksgiving is about food, football, and parades. While waiting for food, Eric and Clare clicked on “Desinty TV.” There was a parade featuring a marching band!

“Destiny TV” also brings all of the football action you need on Thanksgiving day.

“Destiny TV” even had balloons in the Thanksgiving Day Parade!

Thanksgiving 2020 2.0 featured the turkey sandwich with a side of potato chips and cranberries.

The turkey sandwich was packed with a complete Thanks giving meal: turkey, cranberry jelly, chips (to represent the mashed potatoes), and lettuce (because mom’s always got to make sure you have something green on your plate.)

You can taste the Thanksgiving with every bite!

Eric dove into that turkey sandwich and got the traditional Thanksgiving stain on his shirt.

Clare made pumpkin pie, but had some trouble finding ingredients, so she tried a new product called “pumpkin pie in a can.” MMMmmm…

Destiny gave Clare’s pumpkin pie and try, but admitted she is a much bigger Cool Whip fan.

Z-LYMPICS MEDAL CEREMONY

June 17, 2020 by Clare Duffy

Lady J takes the bronze, Jenny Valliere takes silver, and Destiny takes home the gold!

The Morning Scramble hosted the Z-lympics closing ceremonies and shared the final point totals for each contestant.
