Yummy goodness!

Brian and Kate gave me a roaster and the ingredients to Cher's Crispix Mix as a Christmas gift. They got the idea from my obsession with the yummy goodness last summer on vacation.

Here it is cooling....

I have to sit at the table and shoo Luna away until it cools. She's very interested. She's not licking it as this angle makes it appear. 

Another shot of Luna admiring it.

This is funny. She noticed that I was taking pictures of her, so she decided to give me a good close-up! 

Some of you may be wondering how I was able to make this yummy goodness when I am supposed to be in Minneapolis for my class. Well, since you asked.....

My first alarm went off at 3:30am, and I finally rolled out of bed at 4:00am. My class started at 8:00am, but I had never been to campus. I wanted to get there nice and early to figure out parking and all that jazz.

I hit the road by 5:00. I stopped at Kwik Trip to pick up some caffeine and made it to Augsburg by 6:45am. I drove around campus and figured out where I needed to be. I then went to Bruegger's Bagels to pinterest for a while and eat a delicious onion bagel.

Around 7:30 I headed back to campus and proceeded to find my classroom. One of my classmates from Rochester campus was already in the classroom, and we visited for a while. Slowly, more and more students arrived.

By 8:03 I was getting a little nervous. There were about 20 students, but there was no instructor. We waited until about 8:15, then one of my classmates called the Augsburg weekend program office. They said they would investigate and call her back.

At 8:35 they called back and told us to sit tight. At 8:45 a lady walks in and informs us that our instructor thought class started NEXT week! So, he wasn't prepared and we were all to leave!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?? This is the first time this has EVER happened to me in the 7 years that I have been attending college of some sort. I hopped in my car and drove back home. I grumbled a little here and there on my drive home.

 The positive in all of this: I got to listen to KTIS for 4 whole hours! It's my favorite radio station that cuts out around Oronoco, so I don't get it in my car.... Another positive: I made Cher's Crispix mix!

Happy Saturday everyone!

  1. Is that as big a batch of snack mix as it looks? And is Luna as intimidating as she looks? Take her along next week and sic her on your instructor to show your displeasure in this weeks events!

  2. ugh, how frustrating! would you believe I have had 2 similar college experiences? 1-While going to grad school in Mankato, I once arrived for a Friday 4 PM class, only to find I was the only one there. Apparently the instructor called the other 4 students, but not me to tell me the class was changed to independent study.
    2nd-one beautiful spring day I hurried after work to Mankato for class. The prof walked in and said, It's such a beautiful day, I'm just going to take attendance and then dismiss you so you can enjoy it. grrrr...
