A few very easy recipes I discovered next to a Hulk Hogan Mixer.

Checking threw kitchen drawers I ran accross some easy drink recipes my wife was just about to drop in file 13. When she said soda recipes and stuff a bell jingled in my noggin. I told her to save them and I will look over them.

We have a Hulk Hogan mixer I purchased for about three dollars once. I never inserted the double AA batteries in it to find out how it works. It's just a simple little drink mixer. Anyway I will probably put it in the yard sale because we have wall to wall stuff we accumulate like the collectors we are.

One day our house got smoked up because of a pot I left on the stove. I was steaming chicken for ourselves and our cats and dogs when the pot caught fire , exploded and nearly burned our house up. In a rush I rescued our animals and I spent six solid months cleaning, scrubbing, painting walls and cleaning stuff with tons of soap and water and amonia and with formula 409.

Since it was my fault I told my wife that I would do all the work. I did with some hired help from a friend years ago. Anyway here are the recipes:
