No boom today....

Well, the world hasn't come to an end, so I guess I'm on track with my previous plans to spend the weekend baking. I'm still trying to figure out who's getting what and when...brownies for J and Mb. They'll probably both be getting theirs on Monday. I may take the C's a bundt cake---their "do" is Monday evening---I stocked up on flour and whatnot, ( Read more... )

Aldi had some fab finds! I purchased the ham and all of the trimmings plus some extras and only spent $50. I was thrilled!

Sounds good! I'm not doing any serious cooking for Christmas, just a pot of collards, and am working my way through a nommy meatloaf I made the other night. And I have some brownies I got in the gift exchange at church. Low-key and low stress.

Yeah, I remember a couple of white Christmases...back when I was a kid and didn't have to worry about getting from Point A to Point B. Those were the days, eh?

Chex mix is an excellent idea for movie munchies. When I was a kid, my brother and I used to make popcorn at home and put brown paper lunch bags of it in the pockets of our raincoats. (In north Georgia, it rains constantly in the winter, so nobody bats an eye if kids are walking around in yellow slickers.) DH used to frown on smuggling snacks into the movies, but the $4.50 charge for a medium Coke at the theatre here has convinced him otherwise. :D

Publix had a BOGO on Chex cereal the other week, so I got a box each of corn and rice. I'm not a big fan of all the other stuff in the regular formula, though I also grabbed a can of cashew pieces in lieu of peanuts.

I've always brought my own nibbles to movies; I refuse to pay their extortionate prices! Like you said, what they want for ONE watered-down soft drink would buy me a whole carton. Ditto popcorn. The nice thing about toting a mammoth purse is capacity. I've been known to smuggle in a 2-liter diet Coke and a whole sub....
