Sunday Funday Too..

Had fun with some friends yesterday.

: )..  So much fun, that we had to write an

excuse for one of us who was late to work.

 

"Cyndi was participating in extra curricular employee

health activity - we were increasing her endorphines

and decreasing her blood pressure through

expressive therapy and chocolate.

Please forgive,

Love the mob

(see photos enclosed on fb)"

Signed by the wine mob members..

Lol..  Good times, good times, good times..  : )..

Buon Cibo * Buon Vino * Buon Amici

We have never had a bad wine mob meeting..  Ha!

It's impossible!

 

Started today's fun by enjoying a delicious

brunch at Ophelia's Restaurant and Inn

down on the Independence square.

 

Then I brought out my mom's vintage measuring

spoons and whipped up some super

yummy, delicious semi-retro

homemade chex mix.

I loooove that stuff!

Brings back holiday memories of

my parents, Christmas presents

and decorations, as well as my favorite

Aunt Lou's laugh as she and my mom sat around

the kitchen table.

Good times indeed.

Missed times indeed.

 

 Melted 6 tablespoons of butter in my mom's

vintage roasting pan.  Lol.

 

I added 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce,

1 teaspoon of onion powder,

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

and 1 1/4 teaspoons of seasoned salt and added

them to the melted butter.

 

Mixed my snacks together,

added 4 1/2 cups of Corn Chex Cereal,

4 1/2 cups of Rice Chex Cereal,

1 cup pretzels, 1 cup peanuts and

although they weren't exactly "retro"

I added a few Goldfish snacks too.

 

Poured them into the seasonings.

and baked the mix for 1 hour at 250 degrees,

stirring every 15 minutes.

Finally, I spread it out on paper towels to let it cool.

 

 

And finally, speaking of retro..

Here is a definite retro picture..

It's one of my favorites, I

found it when we were cleaning out

my Aunt Lou's house a few years ago.

It's a picture of my Aunt Lou, Uncle Richard,

my Grandmother "Mer", my Mom

and my older brother Jeff.. and..

finally.. not an actual picture of me..

wait!  Lol..  This is an actual picture of me!

 

 

Now?  It's time for the Chiefs and Bronco's

football game.  I feel like William Shatner

when I'm watching them this season..

"Don't throw the ball to.. (interception) them!"

"Don't lose the.. (fumble) ball!"

"Don't run through.. (pile of bodies) the middle!"

It hasn't been a very good season..

At least it's almost over..

Finally.

Whew.
