I figured out that there are
167 calories per serving, if 12 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie
counts vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to
use.)
If you are a fan of
Rice Krispies treats, then this is a recipe for you. They only take a few
minutes to make, and they would be cute on an Easter table. Ree added multiple
colored sprinkles, but I only used red and pink. I took 11 over to the Serpicos
and the results were: 3 out of 3
ate them in a minute or two. They liked the surprise on the inside, too.

Trivial Triffles
Yesterday,
I was watching the extreme couponing show on T.V. I used to be an extreme couponer and loved it. I saved a lot
of money. I just wanted to reach 90% or more, and when I did, I stopped. I set this goal and I am extremely
driven to achieve all of my goals. Watching that show made me want to do it
again, IF they have double coupon stores in Kentucky, then it would be so much fun to see
how many grocieries I could get for over 90% free. Oh to dream……
Memory Musings
Denise
McKeon was a student at ECC that I met in 1981. She was a foreign exchange
student from Sydney Australia. Denise was so much fun. She wanted to experience
everything she could in America that was different from her homeland. For
instance, eight girls decided to go camping at Devil’s Lake in Wisconsin. Of
course, none of us were campers, and we didn’t know that it was the first day
of deer hunting season. So, basically it was eight girls and the rest were men
who all seemed to have a dead deer hanging out of the back of their trucks.
Denise
was in charge of bringing our dinner. She brought spaghetti. Who brings spaghetti on a camping trip?
We drove in vans, so it isn’t like we had supplies. Denise came up with the great plan of asking the men in the
next site if we could borrow a burning stick to start our fire. It was
hysterical, but it worked. We used
“clean” snow and boiled up our spaghetti.
It was freezing that night, so my van left at 2 a.m. and the other
followed an hour later. It was a
fun adventure, and one I will never forget.
Another
Denise adventure was going Trick or Treating. I guess I thought this event was
held in Australia, but I was wrong. So five college girls decided to go out. We
dressed up and everything. What we
weren’t ready for was the reception from the people. They were actually hostile, until we explained, why college students were in the
neighborhood. One house suggested that we change our motive, and go trick or
drinking to houses where we knew the people. The owner gave us all shot glasses, and we continued on our
way. It was much more fun with our
shot glasses.
