National Underwear Day

August 5, 2024 lizellyn Guilty Pleasure #FromBloomersToBoxers, #nationalunderwearday, #UndergarmentLingo, #UnderwearDay, #wordchoice, #words, #WritersDilemma, #writingcommunity

As we celebrate the humble undergarment, let’s take a moment to appreciate the vast lexicon dedicated to what we wear underneath. Did you know that one of the most debated topics among writers isn’t plot twists or character arcs but…what to call your undies? 🤔

From “briefs” to “boxers,” “panties” to “lingerie,” the options are endless, and each term brings its own flair:

Briefs: Straight to the point, no nonsense.
Boxers: Casual, laid-back, maybe a bit sporty.
Panties: A word that can either make you giggle or cringe, depending on how it’s said.
Lingerie: Fancy, elegant, and a touch of mystery.
And let’s not forget the old-school gems that might make you chuckle:

Bloomers: Sounds like something your great-grandma might’ve worn.
Long Johns: Perfect for those cold winter nights, or if you’re starring in a Western.
Y-fronts: Ah, the classic dad underwear. Functional, but not exactly fashion-forward.
Then there are those fun, quirky names:

Tighty-whities: The trusty staple, though perhaps not the sexiest.
Boxer briefs: The perfect hybrid, for the indecisive.
Choosing the right word is a delicate balance. Call them “underpants” and you might sound like a kid. Say “lingerie,” and suddenly things are a bit more…sophisticated.

So today, let’s honor the unsung heroes of our wardrobes. Whether you’re rocking your briefs, flaunting your boxers, or lounging in your lingerie, remember: it’s not just what you wear, but what you call it that counts!

Happy Underwear Day! 🩲🩳👙

Rice Krispie Ice Cream Sandwich

August 2, 2024 lizellyn Sweets #dessert, #homemade, #icecream, #Icecreamsandwich, #icecreamsandwichday, #kellogs, #ricekrispie, #ricekrispietreats

Chuck the regular cookie and use a rice krispie treat to make an ice cream sandwich. The marshmallow in the rice krispie blends well with the creamy ice cream, yet the krispie part doesn’t get soggy. Perfect Combo.

Note: I used Kellog’s red, white, and blue Rice Krispies and followed the recipe for Rice Krispie treats on the box. I also made homemade no-churn vanilla ice cream to complete the sandwich.
While homemade ice cream and rice krispsie treats are always preferred, store-bought work too.

Tips:
Cut the rice krispie treat to the size sandwich you want first
Freeze the rice krispie treats
Cut the rice krispie treat in half with a serated knife to make thinner
Allow ice cream to soften before smooshing in between rice krispie layers
Return to the freezer
