  • Cereal Killer

    2011-03-10 7:54 / 会员可以看



    Last week a friend recommended Chocolate Cheerios. She’d bought a box for her grandchildren, who refused to eat it, so she tried it and claimed it was really good. Since she is usually right about questions of style and taste, I bought a box of Chocolate Cheerios when I was at the grocery store yesterday and tried them for breakfast this morning. Her grandchildren are obviously gifted with superior taste.

    Chocolate Cheerios have got to be one of the worst cereals ever. In fact, I’ll take that a step further, they are one of the worst FOODS ever. I couldn’t finish the bowl. They were absolutely horrible, and it only got worse as they absorbed more milk. I finally gave up and dumped the remaining half a bowl in the trash. I wouldn’t even have given them to a dog IF I had one.

    Instead of wasting the rest of the package, I’ll save it for the next time I see my friend. If I hadn't actually seen her eating a bowl with my own two eyes, I'd have thought she was trying to put one over on me. Apparently she’s like Mikey in the old Life Cereal commercials, she’ll eat anything.

  • Time for pie

    2010-05-05 2:48 / 会员可以看


    I'm having 3 friends over for a light supper (too light to call dinner) tonight, after which we're going to play Wizard and watch American Idol.

    I cleaned house yesterday, then started assembling the ingredients for hot chicken salad this morning. Things were going well until I decided to have a toasted cheese sandwich for lunch.  I got distracted and it burnt in the toaster oven.  What a nasty lingering odor burning bread leaves! I opened the front and back doors and turned on the ceiling fans. Then I did a quick internet search for helpful hints on how to get rid of a burnt smell in the house.

    One suggestion was to set out bowls of white vinegar. My favorite suggestion was to soak a bath towel in white vinegar and water, wring it out, then walk through the room where the smell is the strongest, slinging the towel around in a circle over your head. Supposedly the towel will absorb the burned smell. That may be, and it sounded like fun, but I had visions of cleaning up water splatters from all over the kitchen and dining room floors and walls.  AND a fear of being committed if someone should come to the door and see me twirling around the kitchen/dining area with a wet towel over my head.  lol   I stuck to the bowls of vinegar and it does seem to have helped.  As fate would have it, I recently bought a bottle of white vinegar, instead of the golden variety, though that might have worked also.

    But what helped the most was the homemade chocolate fudge pie I just baked.   I do love an excuse to make a pie. Now I have a new one. If the house smells, it must be time for chocolate fudge pie.

  • Where's the cranberry sauce?

    I'll never get dinner on the table at this rate!



    Thankfully I no longer throw the contents of the cabinet on the floor when I'm searching for an ingredient.  It's not as much fun when you have to pick up after yourself.

  • Random photos of my family

    I'm much too tired to make a proper blog, so I'll just post these pics of my son's family in Colorado... six from their camping trip, three of their 4th of July tattoos, a hailstorm they had a few days ago,  their new house from the back, my granddaughter in their flower garden, wild bunny at camp, and my youngest grandson at Space Camp.

  • Granddaughter's birthday

    2009-06-11 5:12 / 会员可以看

    My little granddaughter just celebrated her fourth birthday yesterday, and I have the pics to prove it.

     

    She of course woke up while they were decorating her room.

    Big brother made pancakes for everyone... 7 people since my son's inlaws were visiting.

     

    Mmm good!

     

    Off to build a dog and her puppy... Diamond and Jewel.

    Getting Diamond all ready.

    Filling out the adoption papers with mom.

    What a nice Princess cake!

    But I'm the real Princess!

     

    Somewhere between the dog and the cake, they ate at the Olive Garden.  The birthday girl had her favorite Seafood Alfredo (shrimp and scallops), and enjoyed it when the waiters and waitresses sang a song for her.  Then later after the cake and ice cream, there were gifts to open, including a humongous wooden doll house.  No pics of those, they were on video.

    I can't believe she's growing up so fast!

    Awww, Kathy! I'm sorry to hear about your recent health issues. :( I'm glad you were able to make it home for Christmas at least, and super glad that you are doing better now. Let's hope it stays that way, huh?

    I really want to see the Adjustment Bureau. I really like those two actors. I got behind in my weekly trips to the movie theatre myself because one of our theatres in town shut down for a few months, and I can't deal with crowds lol. I just saw Paul on Wednesday though. I love that Simon Pegg.

    And wow totally impressed by your son! lol. Sounds like you raised a good one, Kath.

    And very true on that last bit. lol. I actually am pretty independent, so this alone business doesn't really get me too down. Ask me again in about a year though hahaha.

    Yeah, I totally think Sherlock Holmes is a wait for pay channel sort of movie. I'm a total sucker for a good mystery and thought that since it was, you know, Sherlock Holmes there would be a good one, but no such luck lol.

    I haven't seen The King's Speech yet, but I plan too! I was really pulling for The Social Network at the Oscars, but no hate on Colin's best actor win!

    And oooh, how could I forget about the yin and yang wars??

    And haha not nosy at all. I actually am. I ended a year long relationship in January. It kinda sucked even more than the usual because it was with someone I had been good friends with for many, many years. I've been "hanging" out with someone but I'm not to sure I'm ready for all that just yet. /therapy session lol

    Regarding Jude: Ahh yes, I know that type. They only exist in old Jude Law movies right? haha, I did like him in Sherlock Holmes, even though I didn't really like that movie all that much. He has great chemistry with RDJ.

    Kai! I left a message on his profile in case he ever checks it. I would love to talk to that guy again.

    NB! LOL, yes I remember. Is she long gone? I'm pretty sure she hated every inch of my guts.

    First of all, thanks for the tip regarding that post. I think my eyes did that whole saucer thing. lol What in the world??

    And yay for you still having the Rufus CD! And that card! haha. Are you still into Mr. Law?? Either way, too awesome.

    I'll have to keep being a creeper and see if I recognize anyone else from the old days. I was psyched to see you and DL still posting away!

    Hi Kathy, this is Cam (13th canton tiger). I haven't been to this site since 2005. I poked my head in today just to see if I recognized any users. I seen your username. Honestly, you were the one I really wanted to send a message to if I recognized any. I hoped you've been well. I hope many blessings come to you.

    I have had no regrets since that time I made my final post. Everything fell into the right place in my life. I got married back in May 2010. Marriage is great. We met in Zion. It's been a true blessing. She is from South Korea. Actually I've been there twice since 2005. The countryside of South Korea is beautiful. There is a lot of good there, the divine kind.

    I watch movies differently now. I feel there are always messages from God for us in the good ones. Among Jet's movies, Unleashed, Forbidden Kingdom and Fearless Director's Cut were great. I seen spiritual truths of the bible in these movies. But Avatar in IMAX 3D was the best movie I ever seen. My heart swelled with joy to see the great truth symbolized in that film. I wish I could elaborate, but later on it will be elaborated globally.

    Anyway, I thank my heavenly Father and heavenly Mother for everything. Life is precious. I made this username just to send you this message to say hello to someone I never forgot about. Take care and let's overcome the hard times that come unexpectedly. There is real hope in this world and everlasting rest afterwards. See you soon.

    P.s. ... how would the most powerful stroke like? (Just that one last time.)
