TAX FORGIVENESS AND TWINKIE GATE 2012

I know we are all in a panic here at the closing of 2012 is near. The top two reasons for our stress?

1. There may be an end to tax forgiveness for foreclosures.

2.NO MORE TWINKIES!!

So What can we do?? Well  as for Number 1

Call for Action: Keep the Housing Recovery on Track

Despite some positive signs of recovery, our nation’s real estate market is still fragile.  Over a quarter of all transactions still involve a distressed property.  That’s why you must take action now and tell Congress to extend Mortgage Forgiveness Tax Relief.  

Without an extension, families engaged in a loan modification, short sale, or foreclosure would face a big tax bill. Neither consumers nor the housing market need that added burden.  Homeowners shouldn’t be forced to pay a tax on money they’ve already lost with cash they never received.  

Please tell Congress to extend Mortgage Forgiveness Tax Relief. We need no new obstacles that might throw the housing recovery off track.

Now for number 2 solution

HOMEMADE TWINKIE RECIPE

	Cake Nonstick spray 4 egg whites one 16-ounce box golden pound cake mix 2/3 cup water   Filling 2 teaspoons very hot water 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups marshmallow creme (one 7-ounce jar) 1/2 cup shortening 1/3 cup powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla (See Tidbits)
	1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. 2. Fold each piece of aluminum foil in half twice. Wrap the folded foil around the spice bottle to create a mold. Leave the top of the mold open for pouring in the batter. Make ten of these molds and arrange them on a cookie sheet or in a shallow pan. Grease the inside of each mold with a light coating of nonstick spray. 3. Disregard the directions on the box of cake mix. Instead, beat the egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl combine cake mix with water, and beat until thoroughly blended (about 2 minutes). Fold egg whites into the cake batter and slowly combine until completely mixed. 4. Pour the batter into the molds, filling each one about 3/4 of an inch. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean. 5. For the filling, combine the salt with the hot water in a small bowl and stir until salt is dissolved. Let this mixture cool. 6. Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. 7. Add the salt solution to the filling mixture and combine. 8. When the cakes are done and cooled, use a skewer or chopstick to make three holes in the bottom of each one. Move the stick around inside of each cake to create space for the filling. 9. Using a cake decorator or pastry bag, inject each cake with filling through all three holes.
