Seems that my musing about prom has been replaced with studying the established Business Structure of America today and also Gothic period of Italian art...2010, and the new academia that goes right along with it, is really setting in lemme' tell ya. School is going quite smoothly, and I've even done a prettttty good job of following one of my quasi-New Year's Resolutions: Cook more. I found this one kinda tricky, actually. Seems easy when I think about it...Couldn't you see me just whippin' out an ahhhmazingly cuisine-ish meal that's just flawless and jam packed full of delicious-ness...? Yeah? No? Ok, I get it...moving on...
I at least do some sort of 'cooking/preparing food' as I make Nick's lunch everyday, (it's MORE than just putting surprises in little plastic bagges! They actually have to be edible...) I'm absolutely open to a nice cup o' Cheerios for dinner...or Froot Loops...heck - I'd even go for some Rice Chex. Kinda plain. But meh meh meh. But I'm starting to think that oatmeal should start to count as some cooking; you have to microwave that for goodness sake! Seriously, adding water to the bowl AND pushing the button. Pleeassee.
Tonight was a little experimentation in the love-love-lovely land of dessert and cereal that is oh-so-close to my heart. Cheerio Cereal Hearts, some Hot n' Fresh Cuisine! (Which actually aren't hot; they're in the 'fridge. And they're not really going to be all that fresh...Nick will eat them tomorrow.) But still, Cuisine with a capital C! Kinda...
Recipe continued...under 'Read More'
(I was a tad inspired by the richy gold-ocity of the Cheerio Hearts...I just had to drag out everything of the color scheme. Mmmmm...what a tasty palette...)

Oh! AND! BIG MOMENT HERE! I DID learn how to describe CLOTHES in Spanish!
Yo llevo una camiseta azul! I'm wearing a blue shirt!
Yo llevo zapatos bonito! I'm wearing pretty shoes!
Now THAT is a fun way to learn...
Whip Up Some Cheerio Cereal Hearts!
(If this has already been...published?...copyrighted?...by anyone else, my apologies...)
- About 4 handfulls-ish of Cheerio's cereal...(although your hand-sizes could vary, making that kinda wonky..).
- About 8 of the fullsize marshmallows...I started off wit 10...but wanted to eat one. Ok, fine! I ate two...
- About 4 tablespoons of margerine...
- Muffin tin of some shape...or you could roll them into balls, I supppose.
- Chocolate chips/truffles.
- Colored Jimmies...(Oh yeah...most people call them sprinkles, don't they..). Colored sprinkles.
To make the original ones, with a slight twist, simply melt 4 mallows and 2 tablespoons margerine over the stove. Watch it carefully! Don't burn it! Will make kitchen smell bad! Will make clothes smell bad! Will make you want to cry in shame...well...it's not that bad, I guess. But just watch it. After they're all melty and smooth, pour melted mixture over about 2 handfulls of Cheerios. Stir stir stir! Before smashing cereal-mallow mixture into the pan, set some chopped-up truffles or chocolate chips in the bottom. When you smash the cereal on top, and pop it out in the morn', it will have a fantastic layer of chocolate! Dang straight! Yum...
For chocolatey ones:
Simply do the same with melting the mallows with the margerine...but melt the choc. chips/truffles with the mallows. Simply pour over remaining 2 handfulls of cereal, smash smash smash, and sprinkle some jimmies...erm..sprinkle some sprinkles on top. Voila! Yum-taaaastic...:)
Resolution. Conquered.
MAn YOu come up with some kewl junk!!
