Nah, I’m certain that most normal human beings aren’t capable of THAT much drama. We split because he wasn’t sure if he wanted to get married or become a Buddhist Monk. :smack:

Wait a minute. That is NOT what I said. I’m just saying hypothetically if a person, any person, was married to me that they would never have the desire to become a Buddhist Monk.

I mean, come on, I’m the total package! I’m intelligent, I cook, I’m good at, um, other things… :o What’s not to love? 😃

Yes, I know I went back to bed, but now my back is hurting and I feel kind of pukey. So I got back up again.

And it’s a good thing, too. So that I could clarify my position. ::quickly sweeps confetti and rice under the rug::

So, since I’ve never had the desire to become a Buddhist Monk, that must mean I’m married to you! QED. 😛

Yeah, I’d better ease up on you a bit here. Otherwise you’ll be all worn out and won’t have any of your self-described ‘friskiness’ left for the other female MMPers. And that might start an uprising.

What is it there? Almost, but not quite, 5 AM? Can’t you nod off for a while, even right there on the couch, and get up around 7-7:30? You’ll be dead tired otherwise…

Looks like **Cutie Pie** might have fallen asleep after all… And yes, it was about 5:00 when you were writing that.

I was awake extra early again. Tried to fall asleep again, but it didn’t work out. So I’m up and getting ready for work.

Look, it’s **kai**! Hope you feel better soon.

And **Dotty** , too! Hope your sister really enjoys her stay with you (I’m sure she will)!

Sorry about the school troubles, **Spaz**. Do you have an adviser you can talk to or is everyone gone until January? You might have a more relaxing break if you talk to him or her this week. Also, you should definitely complain about your instructor. Good luck with everything!

Well…off to finish getting ready for work.

I’m not sure but I think **Roo, CutiePie and Special1** were talkin’ dirty. :dubious:

**Rebo** ask and ye shall receive. These are Cheese Crisps rather than Cheese Straws. For Cheese Straws you need a cookie press with the star tip and well, it’s just a whole lot of trouble. Crisps are easier.

Cheese Crisps

2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (extra sharp is best)

2 sticks butter (or, if you must, margarine, but buttah’s bettah!)

2 cups self-rising flour

2 cups crispy rice cereal (note the ingenious way I don’t say a name brand)

salt and cayenne pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Allow cheese and butter to soften. Grate cheese and combine with butter, salt and cayenne pepper. Add flour one cup at a time. Mix in the crispy rice (ingenious, I say!) cereal. Pinch off little bits of dough and roll into itty bitty \<snerk\> balls \<snerk\>. Press down on the little \<snerk\> balls \<snerk\> with a fork dipped in flour. Bake about 12 minutes or until golden. Might wanna check after 10 minutes. Makes a bunch, dependin’ on how small you make 'em. I can get about 9 dozen out of a batch cause I like 'em small.

You might wanna flour your hands if you are of the type to mix the cheese, butter and spices by hand, the way I do it.

It usually takes me about an hour to make a batch.

Thus endeth today’s cooking lesson

Yes, I did take a nap. Hooray. Otherwise I’d be in a pretty ugly place by this afternoon.

I had the craziest dream… We had a MMPfest of sorts. Except it was one of those dreams where you substitute random people for other people. For instance, the only person that I _knew_ was **VBob**. But we all had fun anyways. Oh, and at some point I was riding around in \*\*FCM’s \*\* car with her. Also an old friend of mine was there and we were trying to explain to her how we knew each other. She thought we were a bunch of loons. Well, I guess she wasn’t too far off, was she? 😃
