I have Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in my freezer. Blasted Halloween. These are Maxine’s, and it was her idea to put them in the freezer. I think there is something programmed into women from birth to know that chocolate + peanut butter are best when cold. I will not eat Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for … Read more
I Will Not Eat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups for Breakfast
November 4th, 2011 | Posted by in Breakfast - (7 Comments)I seem to be on a pancake kick recently – but ’tis the season for warm breakfasts after all! Let’s roll with it.

This week I’ve been back in that oat phase, and am apparently in a frozen banana phase too. I discovered this concoction last week by accident, really – I can’t even … Read more

Never does the second to last letter of the alphabet look as good as it does on a cold and rainy Friday morning. I find it a tad ironic that I hit the Y to avoid getting cold and wet, only to go inside and get cold and wet. Actually, the Y is pretty warm … Read more
1.
