The Ramen Diet

The Ramen Diet is going pretty well. What is the Ramen Diet you may ask.

That's the diet you go on after you take an expensive 2 week international vacation and when you come home you have enough grocery money each week for a case of ramen, a loaf of bread, and a gallon of milk. Tonight we got crazy and heated up a can of green beans as a side. I know, I know, a bit overboard.

Last night I made makeshift sweet potatoes. I had a can in the cupboard that I think I've had for 2 years. It was set to expire next month so I put it in a small pyrex dish and added some butter, brown sugar, and near the end some mini marshmallows. Man, we ate like kings. The best part was when klif was almost done he said "HEY! I thought I didn't like sweet potatoes!"

Other than Ramen dieting we are doing pretty good. Back into the flow of work and sleep and work and sleep with an occasional chance to stop and breathe. I am doing two craft fairs in the upcoming months so that just adds more to my to-do list.

Speaking of which (ready for another tangent?), I ventured into the world of candy making recently. Chocolates to be exact. And I've been getting rave reviews. So watch out.
