Setting Up Snack Shop For The BlankSpaces 1 Year Anniversary Party

Scotty — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 08:20:13 +0000

Next Thursday, April 16, 2009, Scotty Got Snacks for the BlankSpaces 1 Year Anniversary Party located at 5405 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90036. That’s right, I’m making a list, checking it twice and bringing some snacks that are bound to please the nice crowd. Amongst the snacks I have in mind to serve will include (but will not be limited to as I have a few secret snacks to surprise the folks with ) a crockpot of my Tasty Cajun Jambalaya Dish; some sweet snacks like my Blueberry White Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies, Skittles Cookies With Strawberries and Blueberries and Oatmeal Squares, to name a few ; a pitcher of Blue Dew Iced Tea along with some samples of a few other Scotty Snacks Teas; and a handful of other snacks certainly worth keeping on the hush, to better fuel the snack anticipation. And, I’m not trying to “spill the beans”, per say, but I also heard that Kogi BBQ might be making an appearance. So, pace your snacking self, there will certainly be plenty good Blank Spaces 1 Year Anniversary Party Snacks to go around. See you there? RSVP today!

A Re-Snack From February’s Freelancer Fridays (And The Food Consumed Therein)

Another set of snacks served, another opportunity to meet and network with good people! Thanks (again) to Jerome Chang of Blank Spaces, I came through with a helping of snacks for February’s Freelancer Fridays attendees. With 3 boxes of Crock Pot Cooked Jambalaya in a 5 quart crock-pot, 3 gallons of Blue Dew Iced Tea in a 5 gallon thermos, 50 mini Oatmeal Squares and about 30 Blueberry White Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies (which actually turned out to be a big pile of cookie crumbs after I rush scraped them off of the cookie sheet ), both in separate, 76 ounce plastic ziploc containers, I made like Santa Claus in February and delivered the treats!

Snack By Snack

Besides the remaining 5-7 mini pieces of Yo Momma’s Oatmeal Squares and the half gallon of Blue Dew Tea that I transferred back home, all snacks were pretty much consumed within about an hour’s time. To no surprise of mine, first from the list to go (thanks to the hearty appetite of Francisco Dao, who you may know from The Killer Pitch) was none other than my Creole Crock Pot Jambalaya. The Clarified Butter Blueberry White Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies followed shortly behind, leaving the “and then there were two” scenario with my Blue Dew Iced Tea and my Yo Momma’s Oatmeal Squares sitting around, just waiting to be had.

In Attendance

Although I can’t claim to have met with all persons who were at Blank Spaces last night, I can certainly claim to have connected with quite a few pleasant folk. Amongst them would be the first lady I walked by (and checked in with) as I entered the spot, Katya Roberts, who is property manager at Blank Spaces. Then, after laying the snacks out on the table, I was kindly greeted by Kim Koury, President of Spin Public Relations, a PR firm in Santa Monica specializing in public relations, strategic planning and special events coordination. In addition, I also had the pleasure of meeting publicist, Michelle Avedissian; network specialist, Matthew Almanza; and reporter with SynchedUpShow, Rich Demuro. And, last, but certainly not least on the (had the pleasure of meeting with) list would be Angela Wise, director of sale and distribution for (the innovative and creative custom label energy drinks company,) Xbrand Fluids, LLC.

Yo Momma’s Oatmeal Squares

Scotty — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 02:26:16 +0000

As quick and easy to create as they are to consume, these oatmeal squares may draw a few baffled stares at first but, once that sweet, oatmeal cinnamon flavor is tasted, they prove to be a sure success, down to the very last helping.

Ingredients

2 Sticks of Butter (or margarine, your choice)
2 Cups of White Sugar
4 Eggs
2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Tsp Cinnamon
1.5 Cups Flour
1.5 Cups Oatmeal

Mixing Then Baking

Melt the butter sticks then add & mix all ingredients and pour into a greased 9″ X 13″ baking pan. Bake at 330 degrees for approximately 30 minutes. Let cool then slice and serve.

To Note: Regardless of said “squares” nomenclature, this tasty snack serves just as deliciously as a square than it does as a rectangle, a circle, an octagon, a pentagon or even a crumb.
