I sent Buckeyes so you could get protein from the peanut butter.

thanks for reminding me. time for my mid-morning snack!

one of my co-workers just walked up and saw them on my desk and gasped! he knew exactly what they were. very jealous, so i had to share.

(((CWR))) Often I've wished I could preview the transcript of a relationship! Good luck. Tough choices, which may seem much clearer in retrospect. My bit of sisterly advice: If you find yourself arguing with or denying your "gut" or inner voice, stop and listen. Inside, you will know what's right for you. L.

I second what Lise said. I argued and ignored my inner voice for 6 1/2 years. I probably missed some wonderful potential relationships because I tried too hard to stay in the one I was in. But I ended up where I am, so I can't complain or kick myself too much!

Trust your gut instincts.

Mmmmmm, beef stew. Fresh from the crock pot. Much better than the steak I tried to cool last night. Mmmmm.

Just saw a great Nova episode about the "Clovis First" theory and how there were actually 3 major waves of human immigration to the Americas during the stone age. (the first was from Europe, the latter two from Siberia/Asia)

Now I'm watching "House". Don't watch TV that much, so this is fun.

kit i could keep one? now you tell me. here i thought i had to send all of them back. i wonder if the mail got dispatched out, maybe i can break in and get that back. though its a little hard to break into the post office when you have a key.

thanks snap. very cute! (i like yours too kit, is that movie any good?) congrats on the weight loss. i lost 5 lbs on my "diet" but after today and all the buckeye's i think i gained it all back.

knot i think i'm trying to smother my inner voice with a pillow, but it keeps coming up in the bad times. i know what it says, just not ready to accept it.

Bummer, I just dropped my bowl (no stew in it) and busted it into a kazillion pieces. It was a handpainted handmade bowl from Finland I've had for about 6 years. Bummer.

[kelownagirl]

Oooh, that IS a bummer... I've been breaking more stuff since I moved into this house with its tile floors in the kitchen. If it drops, it breaks...

I knew about the Siberia thing.....Europe? How'd they? Oh, continental drift (similar to TE TD)

"Now I'm watching "House". Don't watch TV that much, so this is fun"

Funny, I'm watching that too. Spun a little bit now resting and watching TV.

CWR have you tried smothering your inner voice in chocolate? I find that helps. But seriously, listen to your inner voice.

Knott, bummer about the bowl. Finnish pottery is great. I wonder when they do archeological digs and find pottery shards if say for example ancient Roman who broke it was saying "bummer, I dropped the handpainted Greek bowl and it was full of delicious stew".

Kelownagirl, yep, I loooooove tile for many reasons; looks great, durable, holds heat for natural energy savings....but not on kitchen floors. Makes everything a "one bouncer".

You were extremely generous to share. In this house it is everyone for themselves when it comes to buckeyes.

[Xrayted]

Hey, BMo3 - I can't get out of here for a few hours yet. Go through and unscrew every other bolt on the door to keep him there longer. Make him brownies, invite him to dinner, whatever...

CWR - what makes you think we aren't in trouble? Kit alone puts us over our allowed group rate.

What the heck is a buckeye anyway?? I'm missing out on goodies and I don't like it. I don't like it one bit.

Can ya tell it just got slooooooooow here? I need to go get some food at the caf while I have a chance.
I'm so hungry for homemade french onion soup lately too. I'm thinking I might have to make up a batch tonight when I get home. Mmmmmm. Topped with gruyere and just a hint of mozzarella. Hey, anybody want a crock?

Off to see Linda and the ladies in the caf. They take good care of me. Well, somebody's gotta right?

Okay, I googled. The first several recipes were close, but still wrong.
Buckeyes, besides being the state tree, are also a candy. Not all buckeyes are made correctly. It is amazing how different they can taste. The real ones are awesome. Basically it is a ball of sugary peanut butter, dipped in chocolate, with only the "eye" part of the peanut butter showing.

Here is am Ohio recipe:http://recipestoday.com/recipes/289.php?wcat=27

This recipe has a photo and nutritional info (do not look at the nutritional info):http://allrecipes.com/recipe/buckeyes-i/detail.aspx

I do not make god buckeyes, DLM does not sell good one either and they are gourmet (good thing we ate those and did not send them to CWR). The best ones are from Bill's. Those we had to mail off directly before being eaten.

ouch! i looked at the nutritional data. yes i know i was told not to, but there are 2.1g of fiber and 4.3 g of protein.

Focus on the fiber and protein, ignore everything else.

I wonder if Bill's has any left? Now I am craving one or ten. I shall go for my run and if I still want one after I will have DH go get some. Odds I will still be craving one? Extremely high.
