Western Family Graham Crackers are Gross!

The other day I wanted a night time snack. When I looked into the pantry the box of graham crackers told me that they’d be delicious dipped in a cup of milk. That’s what I chose. I dipped the cracker and took a bite. It did not taste right. The package had never been opened so I knew it wasn’t because they were old and then I realized they are Western Family. Now don’t get me wrong I am not prejudice to Western Family products. Most times I love the cheap price and the food doesn’t taste any different. But after eating 3 crackers (yes I continued to eat 3 even though they didn’t taste great) I realized that those suckers would be better with some Western Family chocolate frosting spread on them but since I didn’t have any I stopped eating. Sure, I won’t weed out Western Family graham crackers completely because they would be great with a melted piece of chocolate and roasted marshmallow smooshed(yeah…I don’t think ‘smooshed’ is a word) inside or even on the bottom of a creamy banana pie filling. But I will not eat them alone ever again.

P.S. I’m sure I will finish off the box because I am a college student enough said.

P.S.S Sure. I guess this could be a food critique blog too.

Little Orphan's

Over the weekend I went to Tuacahn’s musical production, “Annie”. Obviously, I liked the play because it brings back the great memories of my youth. That little red headed orphan played on my VCR over and over. The writing for this show is very dated, but can still be enjoyed today. It’s a classical storyline and I enjoy it. I really like the fact that it is about a 10-year old girl because most musicals aren’t about young kids.

In my opinion, the one fault I find is I don’t really like the character Annie. Sure, she’s nice, but she seems a little aggressive and snooty about the fact that she has Daddy Warbucks. And I always feel bad for the other orphans. This musical is a celebration of not being an orphan anymore, but to me it’s a sad story of the other orphans who still live in the orphanage.

P.S. “You’re a little orphan, nobody cares about you!” Name that movie…..

Smells like Candy Canes on Christmas

Top 5 reasons why cold weather is gross

1. It is cold
2.
I have to wake up 20 minutes early to start my car
3.
I have to walk slow so I don’t trip
4.
Goodbye flip-flops
5.
I spend my time couching

Top 5 reasons why cold weather is full of awesomeness

1. Snow is pretty
2. Beanie’s and scarves are excellent accessories
3. I love hot chocolate
4. Christmas music is classic
5. Candy canes are delicious
6. Snowmen are adorable and snowball fights are even better
7. A neighborhood full of Christmas lights can take my breath away
8. Christmas is the season for giving and everyone is friendly
9. Christmas trees are full of magic
10. Sweaters are fuzzy

There is nothing better than curling up on the couch, with the fire going, sipping on some dark hot chocolate, and admiring the Christmas tree. But there is only one month I want to do that in, December. So why am I curled up on the couch, drinking some hot chocolate, watching the warm fire, and thinking about what sweater I want to wear to school tomorrow in October?

Love Love Love

P.S. I really do love Christmas. That is why my list consists of ten things, not five. I just wish Mother Nature would listen to my concerns and bring the fire watching, sweater wearing, hot chocolate drinking weather next month.
