…but these just make me laugh…
so I had to share them with you.
Harry Potter and the Family of Wack
No, no…it’s not the newest Harry Potter book.
The “Family of Wack” well,
that would be…
Miss Sybil Trelawney
…us.
Harry’s Birthday Celebration
Yeah. We really get into this sort of thing.
Border’s Midnight Book Release
The crowds…
Professor Dumbledore
the costumes…
Voldemort
even the scary guys…
Scera Theater Midnight Showing
and believe it or not–the lines turn out to be an event.
Yes, a new Harry Potter movie is coming out–TODAY and quite frankly, I keep forgetting which number this one even is.
Professor’s Sprout and the Mandrake
But seriously, who cares? Life is more interesting and fun where there’s something to look forward to. In fact, by the time you read this–we will have already stood in line and caught the show with all the other Harry Potter Wack-jobs.
Our only defense…
we love this stuff!
Cheetoes–a Completely Honest Taste Test
So many choices…so little time. What’s a Cheetos lover to do?
We decided to have a taste test to discover the winner for the “Very Best Cheetos in the World” contest.
In the running were…
Contestant #1
Regular Cheetos
***
Contestant #2
Crunchy Cheetos
***
Contestant #3
Twisted Puff Cheetos
***
Contestant #4
Crunchy Mozzarella Cheetos
***
Contestant #5
Fiery Hot Cheetos
Sorry, I don’t have a picture of the bag, because it melted through the table and kitchen floor and is no doubt on it’s way to the center of the Earth…or Hades…
and rightly so.
Next, we gathered the troops and force fed them the different styles of Cheetos and gave everyone a ballot.
Here is what we came up with…
#1– Regular Puffs–which in my unbiased opinion, are the only true Cheetos on the face of the Earth–received exactly 1 vote for 1st place. Everyone else thought it should be in 3rd or 4th place. The heathens.
#2– Crunchy–received 5 votes for 1st place even though they are deep fried and very, very bad for you, and 1 vote for 4th place.
#3 –Twisted Puffs–received 1 vote for 2nd place because they were really spongy and cheesy and good and 1 vote for 3rd place and 5 votes for 4th place, because my family doesn’t really understand the connection between puffy Cheetos and true unadulterated wisdom.
#4– Mozzarella –received 1 vote for 3rd place and 3 votes for 4th place and 1 vote for 5th place because they didn’t really taste like anything. It was weird.
#5– Fiery –received 6 votes for last place, because they were hot and nasty and deserve a cold and watery grave, except they also got 1 vote for 3rd place because Jacob’s singed tongue lava meter is all screwed up. He actually liked them.
So, as you can clearly see, Cheetos PUFFS are by far the best Cheetos in the land–even if more people actually voted for the crunchy ones.
It’s my test, and I can cheat if I want to…cheat if I want to…cheat if I want to.
(No animals were harmed in the making of this taste test…well, except for Beany who tried to eat #5 and caused a 3 alarm fire in his throat. But he’s fine now and his tongue has almost grown back.)
Flip Book
Let me explain…
Beckham is surprised at the feeling of cold water in his lap…
Lily thinks, “Hmmmm….looks fun…”
“…I believe I shall try it.”
Twin joy.
Food Storage Prompt #7Â 100 pounds of wheat.
Note: Some items may cost a bit more these days than when these prompts were originally written, but hopefully it will still be helpful to have a nudge to gather these items each week.
Something Wicked This Way Comes…
So there we were at the grocery store, minding our own business…
when from out of nowhere, a whole busload of Easter candy jumped into our cart. Now, if it had been full priced Easter candy we would have said, “Back, foul vermin! Be gone!”
But upon closer inspection, we found it to be 50-75% off. Oh, and the Cadbury Eggs–8/$1. Yeah…8.
So instead, we said, “You poor little unwanted, homeless Easter candy. Come with us and live happily ever after.”
So they did.
Of course, we don’t intend to eat it all…you know…by ourselves, or anything.
No, no.
That would be silly.
We could easily share with anyone…if the mood strikes us. :]
Here’s a bonus too. As we were at the checkout–the cashier guy says, “Hey…ahhh…you can have one of those Easter Jello molds too. Take a couple, because you bought so much stuff. It’s free.”
I say, “Free? Why?”
The wise guy leans in closer like he’s sharing his locker combination, and says, “Cause…
Easter’s…
OV-ER.”
Joke’s on him.
I just smiled and said,
“Not at our place, Skippy.”
