Hump Day Poll: What Takes YOU Back?
In a world that is spiraling down the toilet ever changing, and sometimes not for the better, there are small things we can do to create little pockets of nostalgia from a simpler time. It's harder and harder to find things from your childhood and if you do, often they aren't the same. (I still lament the death of the taste of Chef Boy Ardee boxed pizza mix. Sigh) But for me, there are a few scents that I can rely on that are still out there. When we were dating, one of my favorite scents was that spray musk and I was tickled to still be able to find it! One spritz of it and I'm ready for a night on the town with the teenaged Mr in his Iroc. I was also happy to find Night Magic from Avon is still available and gives me that same feeling. My friend got it for me last year and with as much as I use it (rarely to never), I'll have it until I'm dust. (I did find the solid perfume compact in a bin and still have it if I want to be truly...
Honestly... I thought I was having a stroke (it's been THAT kind of a week)... chipmunk? Motor oil? And then your 'awake'comment confused me... SIGH. I gotta go to bed... but THAT would mean my kid is fine and asleep... NOT.
ReplyDeleteI thought this recipe would be great with asparagus and MUCH less salt... and tasty with Mahi Mahi:

I haven't made it yet (I love making risotto)... I just found the recipe last night... I have a barley risotto recipe I could eat all.the.time.
Ya know... movies pretty much made life bearable and painful all at the same time... somewhere to go to escape, and yet a reminder that my life was not a movie or anywhere close. Ya know?

That was broiled chipmunk, not fried, right? :)
ReplyDeleteGoof ball :p
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA Motor oil, I was like wait whaaa? Nothing like a good glass of motor oil in the morning:) A movie that ruined my expectations of LIFE was all the Disney Princess movies...umm hello musical love fairytale anyone??! Guys are brats LOL
ReplyDeleteHA! Glad to see everyone was awake and/or not stroking out! ;)
ReplyDeleteMmmm...motor oil. My favorite, but I usually like it for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteHmmm - motor oil and chipmunk. Only you could make something delicious out of that.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast Club totally ruined me for detention.
I wonder how may calories there are in motor oil?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if chipmunk and motor oil were some cool kids slang words that I just didn't know--ha! One time I was feeling like people weren't really reading my posts and I said something about eating unicorn filets marinated in the tears of newborn babies and ONE person caught it.
ReplyDeleteI love that Trader Joe's risotto! Boo that you can't eat it anymore. :( I think risotto tends to be salty because of all the stock it absorbs, but I bet if you make it yourself with salt-free stock, you could swing it. But then you'd have to stand over the stove stirring a pot of risotto for 40 minutes...
