Sunday Science with Dr. Tiki!

[tikistitch]

So, thanks to reichiere, we were alerted to the existence of NEW Stitch food at our local Freddie Meyer. We hastened hence....



...and were SHOCKED and AMAZED by the sheer variety of Disney-branded foodstuffs therein. We boggled for a bit, and then espied, making their way down the aisle, at the late hour the tikis choose for their marketing, a little Microsoft-drones-ish family, featuring tired mommy and tired daddy and a quite impatient kidlet perched on their cart. And it occurred, if Buzz Lightyear's picture featured on a package of frozen Brussels sprouts, said kid would probably demand them, and the 'rents did not look like they were in the headspace to put up much of a fight with said tiny titan.

So, anyways, we picked up a Lilo & Stitch Splasher or two or three (actually, eleven - we bought 'em out, plus grabbed the display, leaving a crumb too small for the other Whos mouses, so don't even think of going to the Bellevue Freddie for your Stitchie needs). And hied home for EXPERIMENTATION!!





We'd thought to start first with some Splashers, only, reading the back, found it requires one cup of sugar! Ye gads, we'd be bouncing off the walls. Maybe best to start with the pudding.



OK, are we ready? Though it does seem a bit odd to be making Lilo & Stitch artificial banana-flavored pudding with organic milk. Oh well.



Let's add the moo....



...and then some Stitch!



Oh, doesn't that look tasty!

(Well, actually, no.)



Now, to whisk for two minutes!! Are we ready? Let's sing the Whisking song!!! "Whisk whisk whisk...



...whisk whisk ka-whisk...



...whisk.....whisk....whisk....



...whisk.....##$%$#$%!!!"



Now, doesn't that look....interesting?



All ready!



Now for the Moment of Truth!!



Tastes like....

Sugar.

Lots of sugar.

Sugary sugar.

Or maybe, sugar, only it's been in a room, and once in the room, there was also a banana, maybe sitting across the room somwhere, although not actually in contact with said sugar.

Won't Mr. Tiki be proud that we've been cooking? We'll save some for him. Actually, we'll just more or less save it all for him.

I like banana pudding. Even fake banana pudding. However, coconut (which I'm not fond of) might've been more appropriate for our blue friend.

Yay, Science!

Fun fact: If you do not feel like adding loads of sugar to your Stitchie Totally Not Kool-Aid Drink Powder, you can use it to dye natural fibers such as yarn and fabric! Ask Me How!

You know, I know this, but the ONLY reason I know this, is that last night, I looked up this Splashers stuff on eBay, just to check and see if there were any Stitchie flavors I might be mising. I found exactly one relevant eBay auction, and the seller promoted the product NOT with the deliciousness thereof, but with the info that you can use it to dye fabrics. So, I must conclude, nobody is actually drinking the stuff. I'm not sure I have use for tropical fruit punch-colored yarn however!!

I used tropical punch-flavored Kool-aid to dye some yarn and make this squid/beer bottle cozy:



C'mon. You know you wanna!
