Bake A Cake With A Soda

I really cannot believe that I just now found out about doing this. On the phone with my daughter and she was telling me that she was making a cake , but had no eggs or oil, so she was doing her favorite thing of using a can of soda! WHAT??? I could not believe it. I was dumbfounded. You actually can do it. Plus it makes the cake healthier for you. Lower in fat and cholesterol.

NEED:

A packaged cake mix that is your favorite. Any flavor.

A can of your favorite soda. You can even use diet soda if that is all that you have. Makes it even more healthy.

Ignore the directions on the cake box --- Just add the one can of soda to the mix.

Mix it up and put it in a cake pan. Bake until it is done. Until a toothpick comes out clean. Serve.

Alternative Weapons

This has been an ongoing argument of my hubby and me. Weapons. He is of the thought to have guns and only guns and then stock up on ammo. OK but, what if you get caught out and don't have all of your ammo on you or you run out of ammo and can't get anymore? I am of the thought to have guns and alternative weapons. I have several aluminum baseball bats by my front door.

You can also use a shovel for a weapon, a hatchet, a machete, knives, tire iron, wooden bat with nails put into it. Anything can be made into a weapon and then you don't have to worry about running out of ammo.
