While I was sitting at my computer uploading these pictures, a spider crawled across the blinds on my window. As always, I immediately called my DB from the other room to come over and handle the situation. Let me just say that I’m not terrified of spiders, I just prefer not to do it when there’s a “man” around. I’ll explain the quotation marks later.
He rushes over with a tissue in hand, ready to take on the eight legged creature. The spider’s in an awkward spot since you can’t really push against the blinds.
I inform him that the only way to kill the spider was to pinch it, with the blind between your thumb and second finger. Did he listen? Nope. He makes a measly attempt, barely touching the spider with the tissue, causing the spider to fall somewhere behind my desk. Great. Now I have to go to bed with the thought of a spider crawling around right next to me.
As I ever so lovingly exclaimed to my DB that he ruined my night, he found the spider in a crevice at the base of my desk. I told him to make sure he got it instead of pissing the little thing off even more. He put the tissue aside and used a box. He only had to use it three times before the spider was finally out of our worries.
I realized that my DB’s kind of sissy, hence the “man” in quotation marks. He may come off very manly (hellooo macho Italian man, much?), but deep down, I’m pretty sure he’s more terrified of spiders than I am. The last time I asked him to kill a spider, he full on chucked a shoe at the floor as hard as he could. Needless to say, that little guy got away.
I do commend him for “coming to my rescue,” though. He’ll cover up his minuscule fears to make sure our apartment is sleep friendly. What a sweetheart. You’re probably thinking my DB would kill me for saying this about him, but he never reads my blog so I’ll take my chances.
My kitchen’s feeling a little festive for Easter tomorrow. How can you not with all the pastel colors in Target? I got those little chickadees from the dollar section, one of my favorite spots to kill thirty minutes.
I am a cereal hoarder, and we always have at least ten boxes of cereals for my two person apartment. Is that ridiculous? I tend to favor Lucky Charms and my DB loves his Reese’s Puffs. Instead of making ordinary rice crispy treats, I decided to use some of the cereal that I had on hand instead. De-li-cious. I also had Easter themed sprinkles that I sprinkled on top.
Ingredients
- 10 oz bag of marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups Lucky Charms
- 2 cups Rice Crispies
- Sprinkles for decorating (optional)
Directions
- Line a 9x13 baking pan with wax or parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan over low-medium heat, melt together the butter and marshmallows until smooth while stirring constantly.
- Remove the pan from heat and gently fold in both cereals.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared baking pan and press down using a piece of wax paper so it doesn't stick.
- Add sprinkles (if using) on top and gently press again into the mixture.
- Let cool for an hour before cutting.
