Oooh, ooh, I heard my name! I got a new cover for my director's chair
(Two bucks when Cost Plus World Market folded here).

Chick fight!! We can put on YouTube or something and make a fortune!
Yeah, that's the ticket.

OB Cooking (I know, I know -- WTF is talk about food doing on a food
group?) : Spaghetti for supper tonight. Cub has ground chuck roast
on sale for $1.89 for the next couple weeks and it's good stuff! I'll
be buying some for the freezer in the next couple weeks.

I used a couple pounds in the vat of spaghetti sauce along with
processor-chopped onion, carrot, celery, onion, and garlic. Tomato
"stuff" is Hunt's crushed tomatoes and diced tomatoes (buzzed in the fp
to make them into unidentfiable tomato stuff so as to not offend the
sensibilities of Himself) that I picked up in February for a buck a can
(these mamas are 28 ounce cans). Helluva deal. Lotsa basil, oregano,
fake parsley, black pepper. And a glass of Shiraz. "Hey! Who's
drinking my wine?" I'll neutralize some of the acid in the sauce when
I start cooking the pasta.

Back to the catfight: I'll bring some caramel corn:
Caramel Corn - Old Dutch Style

1 Bag of Old Dutch Puffcorn (syrup can support two bags)
1 Cup of Butter (Not Margarine)
1 1/4 Cups of Brown Sugar
2/3 Cup of Light Corn Syrup
1 Teaspoon of Baking Soda

* Preheat oven to 250?F.
* Combine butter, brown sugar, and light corn syrup in a 2 quart
sauce pan.
* Cook on medium heat until mixture has melted.
* Once mixture has melted add the baking soda. (Note: This will
cause the mixture to foam)
* In a large roaster pan pour Old Dutch Puffcorn and pour caramel
mixture over the Old Dutch Puffcorn and stir until mixed.
* Place in oven for 45 minutes, stirring at least every 10-15
minutes.
* Remove from oven, pour on wax paper and break apart.
* Let cool and ENJOY!

Recipe Variations:

* For a scrumptious addition to this already delicious recipe
drizzle melted chocolate over the mixture after you remove it from the
oven!
