we are having some friends over tonight to watch some campy horror movies and to eat some yummy food. i have accomplished a great deal for a sunday already -- cleaned the kitchen, dining room and living room, AND made some great bars. well, i think they will be great. they look great and they smell great, but i'm holding off on a taste test until later. they are layer bars that have a crust of graham cracker crumbs and butter. covered with sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, chopped walnuts and shredded coconut.
and, can i just say for the record, that i'm a total rock star at crushing graham crackers? i thought it would be a very simple feat: make crackers into crumbs. NOT SO! i sat and watched Fright Night on the sci fi channel whilst using a measuring cup to crush many, many crackers. i don't own any sort of food processing apparatus, so it's was up to good old elbow grease, much like the way our ancestors created graham cracker crust, i imagine.
i've also bathed the dog to make her smell less like...well, dog.
left to make: artichoke dip that clogs arteries (parmesean cheese, cream cheese, mayo and artichokes, then baked til all is melted and mixed); bean and cheese dip for the Frito scoop chips; then i need to slice/toast the french bread.
and i even managed to bathe. i've done more today than.....well, than i usually do on a sunday.
very happy about the extra hour of sleep -- i mean, insomnia -- i had after the time fell back. i slept, woke, stayed awake, slept a few minutes and then woke up again at what i thought was 8:30, but then realized it was 7:30. and then i was up for the day.
what's just nuts as hell about my sleep predicament is that during the day, i can pretty much sleep on command. but at night? all bets are off, folks.
it's 3:46. i have 45 minutes until i'm going to make the dips. i've already lit the vanilla candles in the living room to make it smell delightful.
i'm such a susie-homemaker today.
