TASTE IT WEDNESDAY: GROSS PIES

June 9, 2021 by Clare Duffy

Destiny whipped up a RANCH pie. It looks like cheesecake…smells lightly ranch-y.

Ranch pie is raunch. No one could swallow a bite. Perhaps it was the cup of sugar mixed in with the ranch? 10/10 would not recommend.

Eric let his morning orange juice sit out all day and decided to make that into a pie! It was actually quite tasty! Almost like a key lime pie, but a little thicker.

Clare brought in a pie that didn’t look like it was from this planet. It was Listerine pie! She opted for a “cool mint” flavored mouthwash. It was…not as bad as we expected, but definitely still tastes STRONGLY like mouthwash. One bite will do.

TASTE IT TUESDAY: WILL IT PIE?

June 8, 2021 by Clare Duffy

Clare “pied” a fruity blueberry wine.

The blueberry wine pie was nice, but Clare and Destiny DEFINITELY tasted the wine. Eric didn’t taste the alcohol in the pie…or in the wine.

Destiny “pied” a cold brew caramel-chocolate flavored coffee pie. It tasted okay, but Destiny realized she only cooked the pie for half the time it was supposed to bake. Whoops!

Eric “pied” one of his favorite beverages, root beer.

Eric’s root beer pie needed some better mixing, but of the three pies the flavor was probably the best.

ONE SHOT WEEKENDS

Clare said “hello summer” and kicked it poolside with the kids.

Destiny drove to her hometown to check out the new glow in the dark trail in Vinton!

Friday and Saturday nights were dedicated to the Williamson wedding in Iowa City. Eric performed the ceremony, quoting Eminem and Dr. Seuss as part of his message on the importance of “genuine moments.”

COAST TO COAST: MOUNT VERNON

June 4, 2021 by Clare Duffy

Welcome to Mount Vernon, Morning Scramble!

Joe Jennison hosted the Morning Scramble from the Mount Vernon Visitor’s Center.

Mount Vernon is ready for their annual Chocolate Stroll. Sherene Player stopped by to give Clare and Eric full details on the event and pointers on how to keep your chocolate cool.

Walking your dog in front of the CVB in Mount Vernon is a very popular thing to do. Clare and Eric got to meet lots of cute pups!

The Morning Scramble LIVE in front of a studio audience.

Eric got to see behind the scenes at Hitsville USA… It’s where the magic of Motown was recorded!

Clare and the family cleaned up pretty good for a wedding. Cheese!

Destiny spent some time riding around town on scooters.

ERIC’S SURPRISE BIRTHDAY TRIP

May 28, 2021 by Clare Duffy

Eric’s birthday presents came with instructions: he could not open them until 7:50 am and he had to open them in order. Eric loves rules, so these were very exciting!!

Eric’s birthday presents were also clues to what city Eric would be traveling for his birthday. He got a can of Chef Boyardee Spaghetti, but Chef Boyardee was crossed out and the word “Mom” was written. “Mom’s Spaghetti.” And he got a Four Tops album…which is a Motown record.

Eric is headed to DETROIT!

CLARE’S BIRTHDAY

May 25, 2021 by Clare Duffy

BIG thanks to ICED Bakery in Marion for whipping up some surprise cupcakes for Clare!

Eric shocked Clare with this huge arrangement of flowers…he bought it from the Freedom Festival Tribute to Heroes Dinner. It’s roughly the size of a toddler!!

TASTE IT TUESDAY: BTS MENU

May 25, 2021 by Clare Duffy

The BTS menu contains two new to us sauces from McDonald’s in South Korea: Sweet Chili and Cajun Sauce.

The Sweet Chili sauce starts out sweet but has a powerful spicy kick.

Destiny calls dibs on the fries!

We all LOVED the Cajun sauce. It’s similar to a yum-yum sauce, has a honey mustard sweet/tangy kick and is DE-LISH!

Clare has a birthday coming up, so her family surprised her with a little early celebration.

Eric and Shannon installed a new ‘gallery wall’ of their travel photos and prints.

Destiny and her boyfriend went to a glass wind chime class. Destiny’s is on the right.

“GHOSTED BY A BARISTA” BY DESTINY

May 21, 2021 by Clare Duffy

https://youtu.be/YRCQDpjuUWk

The Morning Scramble challenged themselves to write some original music; a song that’s just 60 seconds long and they only had one week to do it! Destiny has been trying so hard to create a really sad song. But she doesn’t want to sing. So she asked her barista and he said yes…but then he ghosted her and never recorded the song. This is a song about writing a sad song.
