Odds and Sods
I? am weak. When faced with a proud husband reviewing a (very good) report card who says, “She has her father’s brains” a strong person would be able to prevent the words, “I wondered what you did with them” from spilling out. Apparently I was the only one who found it funny.
Where have the popsicles and fudgesickles gone? Everything in the ice cream cooler was a specialty item. Polar Ices with REAL FRUIT JUICE and Fudge Blasters with double fudge centres. Turtle bars, rolo bars, even the ice cream sandwich was an Oreo Cookie Sandwich.
The squirrel seems to be the start of an invasion. There was a porcupine in the rhubarb patch this morning. And the cat is sitting by a mound of dirt at the side of the yard, hoping a mole shows his head. I need to find out the best way to rid a yard of moles, hopefully before it tunnels all over the place.
I need to add dates to my grocery list. Somehow gruyere cheese does not taste right with out a nice sticky date. Bite of cheese, bite of date. Delicious.
Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy are on tonight. Thank heavens for sweeps. At least there are some new episodes then.

I always like your retorts and little sayings and quotes under your sig pics.
Do you remember creamsicles?
Desperate Housewives was a good one tonight.

Creamsicles were so smooth, with just the touch of sharpness from the orange. Even the lowly revel is now a special Hagen Das bar - and I don't really like their chocolate coating. Sometimes simpler isn't all bad.
I had an appetizer this weekend that I didn't think I would like. Bacon wrapped dates. I was surprised at how yummy they were. I don't think I had ever eaten a date before. <---not code.
Dates (not in the code sense) are really under appreciated. They are more than just thick pasty filling in oatmeal cookies.
I find the specialty frozen treats no more tasty than the classic ones, but it is a cool gimmick to charge more for a box containing fewer numbers of a treat.
The only sure-fire way, so far as I know, to get rid of moles is the spear-trap. Brutal, but works.
I have decided to just live with the moles. After all, they were here first. They didn't invade my property; my house was built on top of their's.
I'm not so fond of dates or figs, but I love dried apricots!
I used to have a cat that learned to grab moles right out of their shallow feeding tunnels, which are barely an inch deep. She would find a tunnel and sit motionless over it, then when she heard a mole dive her front paws through the dirt and grab the little sucker right out of his tunnel. She caught a mole or two every day - it was quite amazing.

LOL! You have no idea how many times I re-read this;
"I need to add dates to my grocery list. Somehow gruyere cheese does not taste right with out a nice sticky date."
and couldn't figure out why you were eating the date on the cheese label. D'oh!

MM<---wondering about the taste du jour.
Not only dates, but my absolutely favourite cake is Vinatarta Cake, which consists of about six layers of cake, with a prune filling between each.

Great retort! LOL.
I'm with mm. I've been re-reading your post wondering why you have to "date" your grocery lists and what does that have to do with cheese LOL.
I don't like dates but DH loves them.
I remember loving the space bars. Do you still have those up there? Orange sherbet covered with a chocolate coating? MMMMMMM!
