Strawberry Shortcake
From Wikipedia:
The Strawberry Shortcake line of characters each had their own fruity or dessert-themed name with clothing to match, and they each had a dessert- or fruit-named pet. Like the Strawberry Shortcake doll, all the other characters' dolls had hair scented to match their dessert theme. The characters lived and played in a magical world known as Strawberryland.

Strawberry Shortcake is getting a makeover!
OH why are they effing with my childhood?
American Greetings unveiled the all-new Strawberry Shortcake today. Looks like girlfriend got a blowout, lost those bloomers (plus a few pounds), and, according to the following article, trades in her cat, Custard for a hip cellphone.
Strawberry Shortcake was my favorite!
This is a follow up post from yesterday's blog, where I mentioned that I am invited to a Transformers birthday. Isn't it funny how the toys we had as kids are coming back? I used to adore Strawberry Shortcake, Carebears, My Little Pony, and am tickled that they are all popular (although it seems Strawberry has gone through a little updating :ROTFL:
I also had a thing for Pound Puppies, I don't know if they're still around.
Seaside Shortcakes
This recipe is courtesy of Pillsbury and one of the few (and I mean like 1 of 2) recipes I make that actually uses sour cream. I'm not a huge fan, but it's a little more difficult to taste in this recipe. And it turned out good enough that it didn't bother me to be eating it!
