taking it there

rice crispy treats:

one box kellogg's rice krispies, or off brand crispy rice cereal
two 10 oz. bags mini marshmallows
two sticks butter or margarine

melt margarine in a large saucepan, add marshmallows and stir until completely melted
remove from heat, add rice krispies, press into a 9x13 pan, let cool, cut into treat-sized squares

the best part about making this recipe as an adult is that you have complete control over how much of the melted marshmallow/rice mixture you actually pour into the pan as directed, and how much you leave in the saucepan to be eaten directly off the spatula. you're also free to bring the saucepan with you out of the kitchen and into the living room, eating the unformed rice cripsy mix off your lap while you watch reruns of the wonder years

Hey Claire, doesn't that look like a mixing bowl full of freshy oozy PUSS?

Initially, that's what I thought it was. I shuddered, and then pictured Diana eating it off a spatula. And then I started thinking about Kevin Arnold and Winnie Cooper, so the daydream ended okay.
