Gosh, this looks good. Its been ages since I toasted marshmallows over an open fire. I’d love to do that this weekend.

Most of the time when I eat at a restaurant, the portion sizes are so large that I cannot possibly eat the entire dinner. Some restaurants also love to fill you up with fresh baked dinner rolls or breadsticks, plus a salad. After I’ve plowed my way through all of that, there is never any room left for dessert. I miss having desserts with a cup of coffee and interesting conversation. that’s half the fun of being an adult.

Watermelons are grown by planting seeds in a sandy soil and giving them plenty of water. So how does one get a seedless watermelon? It seems that it would be physically impossible to have a watermelon with out seeds for more than one generation. With no seeds to reproduce, how do they get the next year’s crop? I don;t understand.

At the grocery store today I noticed a new beverage in the refrigerated case section. After the milk cartoons are the juice cartons and then they have some specialty beverages. What I found was a new line of iced tea, by the “Gold Peak” brand. They have regular sweet, unsweet, sweet with lemon, and then diet. So I bought a couple of them and gave them a try at home. I have to admit – they are very good! I will definitely buy this again.

As parents, we are supposed to bake and take 2 dozen cookies or other treats for the children’s class party on Thursday. I’ve been scouring the internet for Halloween cookie recipes, and just can’t find much of interest.

The best that I came across so far are these meringue ghosts. They are probably very easy to make and after you stick a couple of eyes and maybe even a mouth on them, you have some really cute ghosts.
