Daily Recap

  • Peanut Butter and Jelly is a great morning snack. It will revive you and get you over the slump after your caffeine buzz from your morning coffee wears off. It will give you energy and if you skipped breakfast the peanut butter will give you all the protein you missed from your morning eggs or oatmeal.
  • Pita Pizza is a healthier and lighter version of the traditional cheesy slice. It is a way to be creative and use your imagine to make whatever you are craving. The toppings could range anywhere from cheese and tomato to apple and gorgonzola cheese. The pita can be used as a dessert shell as well, spread some butter on it then sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar, bake until golden brown then top with your favorite sweet treats. As I said the options are endless and it gives you a chance to play with your food like you were a little kid.
  • If you are going to burn something popcorn and tater tots are the worst things to burn. I had a craving today and decided to make some tater tots, it is a very random food to crave but when you really want something you just have to have it. I got distracted and forgot about them until I smelled them burning. The whole kitchen got a little smoky and of course the whole house started to smell like burnt popcorn. It is the hardest smell in the world to get rid of. I tried opening the doors, spraying air freshener, and lighting candles but nothing seemed to work. Finally I tried Febreeze, thank god it worked now instead of burnt popcorn the whole house smells like laundry.
  • Heather Mills and Sanjaya are my picks for dude and dudette of the day. Heather gave everyone the show they have been waiting for on last nights "Dancing With the Stars," and Sanjaya has America waiting in anticipation to see what his hair will look like on tonights "American Idol."
  • A retired Couple from Queens finally made it to Arizona. The elderly couple took a cab from New York to Arizona just so their precious cat's would not have to sit in an airplane hanger for a few hours. I am sure a long and probably smelly cab ride seemed like a much better option.

Burnt popcorn, yummy!!!

What do you do when you burn something and the whole house smells like burnt popcorn? I have no idea, I had a random craving and I decided to make tater tots. I got distracted and completely forgot about them until I smelled them burning, now my whole downstairs smells like burnt popcorn, it is surprising how similar the two smell when they are burnt. I know some people might like this smell but I can' stand it. The kitchen got a little smoky and the smell won't go away, I opened the door to let some air out then I lit a candle, I tried air freshener but I think it all just went out the door and it is raining so I can't leave the door open for too long. The worst part is I really wanted to eat the tater tots and now I can't , I thought there would be at least one or two that I could salvage but they are all going into the garbage. I hope I can find a cure for the burnt popcorn smell soon otherwise I am going to have to clean every surface of the house in order to get rid of the smell and I really don't want to do that. Wish me luck!
