Treats

With the constant news of layoffs and stocks plummeting, the recession is starting to make me rethink my lifestyle. It's time to budget and cut costs wherever possible. So, one of my goals is to dine out less. I've been eating a lot of leftovers and trying to make the most of the groceries that we do buy. It's not bad so far. I made Rice Krispies Treats two weeks in a row now because I bought a big box of Rice Krispies cereal (on sale) and a bag of small marshmallows (also on sale). This produced 2 batches of Treats! And I can't stop eating them. They're addicting! Who said that saving money had to be boring and dull! Baking stuff and getting to eat it is pretty cool especially since it didn't cost an arm and a leg.

P.S. Does anyone remember the Rice Krispies Treat CEREAL? Oh-my-goodness. I'm going to try pouring milk over my Rice Krispies Treats for breakfast. WOOT!

Super Bowwwl

What a game! Sorry to all the Cards fans and supporters (me included) that were hoping for an interesting upset. But, kudos to Big Benny for keeping it together at the last 2 minutes. Pretty amazing. I'm sure football enthusiasts were doubly amazed.

What I love most about the Super Bowl is the party and the food. Chris and I were really looking forward to WINGS and drove around for an extra 30 minutes looking for a KFC. We failed. Sad day. Instead we had to settle for McDonald's and Chicken McNuggets. Blah. But, yay for junk food.

Oh and here's the cake that Stef baked me:

Thanks Stef! :)
