Snowballs and Girls Scout cookies, oh my! Saturday 9

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Marshmallow World (1963)

 Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.

1. This song likens fluffy clouds to marshmallows. What does the sky look like where you are today?
Today was a clear day, after the morning overcast wore off.  Tonight, it's 46°F  Brrrr!

2. The lyrics refer to snowballs. Have you ever been in a snowball fight?
When I was little, in Ohio, I and my equally tiny cousin would have snowball fights with our older aunts, and younger second cousins. 

3. Chionophobia is fear of snow. What phobias do you have?
Anymore, I'm afraid to stand on the edges of cliffs , especially since I've seen the undercutting that happens along the cliffs here along the bluffs at the beaches.  

4. In 2004, Canadian school children raised money for charity by setting a new world record: the most snow angels made in 24-hour period. Have you ever participated in a fundraising stunt?
No.  Never got the chance. But Selling Girl Scout cookies as a Brownie was dead easy, so I bet it doesn't even Count!

5. When marshmallows were first introduced, they were used for medicinal purposes. Specifically to soothe sore throats. What do you take when your throat is bothering you?

Marshmallows roots were once made into a drink for sore throats from an herb plant called Marshmallow plant, a form of Mallow.  All the Torts find these soothing spring plants very tasty.  When my throat bothers me, I drink lemon ginger tea, and suck down a couple of Koldeze.   Not as tasty as a few marshmallows, but very effective.

6.  Marshmallows are an important ingredient in the Rice Krispies Treat recipe. If you were asked to prepare something for a bake sale, what would you make?
I'd just make a cake or pie.  I found several recipes for a flourless chocolate cake like Whole Foods sells, and I'm on the hunt now for the perfect one.  This one looks is pretty darn good:

Whole foods is taller but this looks like the one for me!

7. Darlene played Danny Glover's wife in the Lethal Weapon movies. Do you enjoy action movies?
I like some of them.

8. Darlene's father advised her to always, "shoot for the stars." Share some good advice you've received.  Work hard at Listening, and to "Pay Attention!!"  

9. Will you be returning/have you returned any holiday gifts?
No.  I will be going to get a test tomorrow and then, hopefully, will get to go shopping for a new purse.  I want one like this one:

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here.
