Nothing like the old show...very hip, very edgy, very sexy.  I'm sure they'll be showing reruns....maybe already are...haven't sat down to watch TV in what feels like forever!  (although I do have a few Good Eats in my DVR so I can skip commercials and just watch that oh-so-edible Alton Brown!)  

I hear that I am a good candy maker and my secret is I don't measure!  I eyeball everything!  Lazy!  So the measurements I give are kind of guesses... but you can look up recipe for buckeye candy too.  We changed the name of ours to bug eyes because they kind of looked like bulging out bug eyes

Peanut Butter - approx 2-3 cups. I use Skippy Honey Nut. In a household taste test with another regular brand this got higher review.  Definitely go for a creamy kind and don't use all natural.

3-4 cups powdered sugar  (I specifically remember the recipe called for 3, but when I looked in the box there was not that much sugar left in there, so I dumped it in.  So basically one whole box of powdered sugar)

2 sticks butter

1 package of chocolate chips.  I'm a Nestle Toll House girl always.  I think the recipe was actually for those melting choc chips, but I think those don't taste that great. 

Beat BP and 1 stick softened butter in very large bowl until PB is really creamy & then slowly add in sugar until it seems to hold together well enough to form balls.  I say slowly on adding in the sugar so you can stop when you can make good balls that are moist and not crumbly.  Probably about 1-inch size balls or so.  Use waxed paper on a baking sheet and stick in the freezer for about an hour. 

When hour is up, melt chocolate and about half of the other stick of butter together in pot on stove.  You can microwave but I think slowly stirring over the stove is easier to monitor.  When all of the chips have melted together, you are done.

Don't let chocolate cool, start dipping PB balls in til coated, leaving a portion of the ball uncovered like an eyeball.  I put tiny slivers of unmelted chocolate in the middle of the uncovered part to look like pupils.  Keep in fridge until set. 

I hope someone enjoys.  This is probably a very common recipe, and like I said you can probably find it somewhere with real measurements!.  But it is so easy, one of those ones I can make without looking at the instructions over and over and everyone loves.  I cannot wait to make them, after typing about it!

Creamy Macaroni and Cheese

Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup cottage cheese (not lowfat)
2 cups milk (not skim)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Pinch cayenne
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound sharp or extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated
½ pound elbow pasta, uncooked.

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees and position an oven rack in upper third of oven. Use 1 tablespoon butter to butter a 9-inch round or square baking pan.

2. In a blender, purée cottage cheese, milk, mustard, cayenne, nutmeg and salt and pepper together. Reserve ¼ cup grated cheese for topping. In a large bowl, combine remaining grated cheese, milk mixture and uncooked pasta. Pour into prepared pan, cover tightly with foil and bake 30 minutes.

They cut production to get the prices up again. If we're not _____ by the oil nations, we're ____ by the American oil companies. G-R-E-E-D is the name of the game in the last few years.

Government tells us to cut our driving. Well, I hate to tell them but between a pickup and a car, we drove a total of  5,838 miles last year, and most of that mileage was 100 miles a day for DH to go to work. I get to the store once a month anymore, 2 mile round trip. The only thing I can cut down on is to walk to the store and back. Been there done that, but I'm no spring chicken and carrying 5 bags or more, well....you'd see a bag every 100 feet.

My car broke down this afternoon!  I heard a loud noise like I had run over something, pulled over and saw all the coolant and water pouring from my radiator.  The fan broke and a blade went into the radiator.  I pulled inrto the nearest repair shop (lucky for me one was really close) and they gave me an estimate of $1200!!!!  My husband had it towed to a mechanic he uses, but I am curious since my car is a VW how much should it cost to get this fixed??

We have a produce store right down the street. They sell dairy, meats, breads, snacks, canned good, but the produce is what I go for.

Bananas are usually 3 lb. for $1, red peppers in the winter are 2 for $1, green 3 and sometimes 4 for $1, packaged radishes 3 bags for $1, lemons and limes 6 for $1, apples are $1 a basket, and globe tomatoes are 2 pints for $1. Fresh white mushrooms are 99 cents a pound and portabellos are $1.99 a pound (expensive in my eyes but fresh). cukes 4 for $1.  They have fresh zuchini, egglant, yellow squash, yellow and orange peppers, asparagus, fresh herbs, you name it. Oh, they did up the price on lettuce and celery. They used to be 2 for $1 and now they're $1 a piece. They sell potatoes loose or by the basket, usually no more than $1.50. A 50 pound bag of red or white potatoes last week was $11.95.

They also sell bread at 2 loaves for $1.75. It used to be 2 loaves for $1.25.

I love this store but if I don't get there as soon as they open, I can't get in. It gets packed and there's not a parking spot to be found. Gee, wonder why?
