First, an update on my psycho neighbor.  I talked to my sister and she recommended keeping track of what I’ve heard (it’s second hand but if something happens it’s better than nothing) and writing down her (and her men-friends) license plate #’s.  So, I did that last night.  Well, I wrote down what I’ve heard and one of her man-friend’s license plates.  She parked her car in such a way that you can’t see her plates.  I’ll get it though.  Got some nasty looks from her and the man-friend last night when I got home from getting my ice cream but I just continue to ignore them.  Crazy people don’t require a response.  Now if I could just remember that and not keep thinking about her craziness.

Now on to my treats.  I got rid of my microwave a while back.  For a while I’ve had a problem with the “idea” of a microwave and it not being very healthy to have around.  Then I was talking with some friends and the subject came up. Then I read an article on the topic.  So, the microwave went away.  I do still use it at work because there’s no oven and cold leftovers suck.  But, at home I just reheat everything in the oven.  I haven’t missed it at all. (In fact, I like the extra counter space.)

Until today.

There’s microwave popcorn in the cupboard at work and I had it for an afternoon snack.  It was so dang good.  I usually don’t like microwave popcorn.  I think it stinks.  But, this tasted really good.  Maybe it was just because I haven’t had it in a while or whatever, but it tasted good. :)   I think I need to get some popcorn for at home.  I’ll make it on the stovetop, it’ll be good.  :)   Probably won’t stink either so that will be even better because even though this was good it still stunk and now my office stinks.  :(

peach dessert

Nevermind, I’ll just tell you.  It’s a piece of Peach Heaven.

I wanted something sweet tonight (I deserved it after slaving in the kitchen baking brownies and chocolate chip muffins for a bake sale then making a salad for a BBQ tomorrow night).  So, I made this creation.  I searched the pantry for ideas and came up with it.

It’s a winner.

Peach Heaven

Saute frozen peaches in 1 tsp butter and 3 tsp brown sugar.

Pour that mixture into a small oven-safe bowl and top with 1 tsp rolled oats and 1 tsp brown sugar.

Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes or whatever.

OMG.  Yummy deliciousness.

I’m going to get some berries and make it with them now. Well, not now, like next time I decide to make this.

Do you remember when Taco bell tacos were $0.29 each? I remember being able to eat at Taco Bell for under $1 (and getting more food than I probably should have eaten) when I was in high school. Heck, I remember days of scrounging for coins and having to forego the soda because all I could find was enough for two tacos (at a whopping $0.64 or something like that with the tax).

Today I went to get two tacos from Taco Bell (because I’d forgotten my lunch in the fridge at home when I left this morning).  I knew I had $2.00 and some change in cash and figured it was fine.   (I figured $0.79 with inflation.)

Dude, Taco Bell tacos are $0.99 EACH now.

EACH.

Two tacos was $2.10 with tax.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not super expensive but still….

I was tripping out big time when I went through the drive-thru.  I know it shouldn’t have tripped me out so much.  I know, inflation, but dang.

Memories… :)   I’m remembering going to Taco Bell after church and buying 25 or 30 tacos for the family and some friends for lunch.  We were only allowed tacos because anything else was more expensive.
