use real butter

Sorry about the silence. It’s not because I don’t have things to write, just that I’m busy working on something that will probably take a few more days. Apologies if I’ve been neglecting email correspondences too.

Today, we spied something interesting:

skittles gum?

I thought it looked interesting, but I had assumed it was blocks of gum. I picked up the box and shook it. It rattled! We bought one for shits and giggles.

yes, skittles gum!

They taste just like the candy Skittles we love so much, but you can chew on it for longer. The flavor doesn’t last that long though (not surprisingly). Cute little box.

I put together a bowl of leftovers this afternoon for Jeremy’s lunch: mashed potatoes topped with asparagus, mushrooms, bacon, and gruyère cheese. I nuked it piping hot and handed it to him and his face lit up.

You see, Jeremy has been craving KFC’s famous bowl monstrosity based on the pictures he has seen in those annoying junk mailings we get in our box every two days. He has never tried one yet – and the reason I know this is because he is still alive.

It’s a bowl of KFC’s instapotatoes with gravy, corn, popcorn chicken, and cheese. *shudder* It looks really disgusting to me, especially that tricolor cheese crap.

This is what his lunch looked like today:

My Donna Hay book arrived and I splurged on early Easter candy at the store because I am an atheist and I like robin eggs…
