If you see Miscuit over there can you send her in here?

I looked for her there, she must be out to lunch.

I wanted to post this, but started feeling very....."Sheldonish".

Well, I did attend the 30th Anniversary Star Trek Convention at the Huntsville Space Center. Wonder what they will do for the 50th if those guys and gals are still around?

Two are gone now. Hopefully the others will still be here in 4 years.

^^^ TGI Friday's random thought

Random Thought: (Overheard in loan ops this morning)

-Does the 5 second rule apply to liquids?

-No, but only if you have a straw.

Pumpkin spice Hershey kisses are weird.

They do not melt into coffee and make a pumpkin spice latte though.

I saw the Brach's caramel candy corn last night at Walgreens. I resisted. But I wont for long. It is SOOOOOO yummy.

You can make homemade candy corn:

or, you could just buy some.

For those of you who cannot get to a Buc-ee's and sample their Beaver Nuggets:

(and I wonder who this Jen is referred to below?

Beaver Nuggets

Ingredients:
1 stick butter
1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 bag Chesters (Yeah, I didn't know what Chester's were either. Turns out they're corn puffs found in the chip aisle ... and they're available from brands other than Chesters. I ended up using Jay's. I saw them in both butter and cheese varieties and ended up using butter, but if you can find plain that would be even better.)

Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two baking sheets. Place corn puffs in a large bowl.

In a saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. Stir until sugar as dissolved. Bring to a boil, and boil for 4 minutes without stirring.

Remove from heat and add baking soda. Mixture will foam. Pour half of mixture over corn puffs and gently stir. Add remaining mixture and stir to coat. Spread corn puffs on baking sheets. (The corn puffs are somewhat fragile, so I had a tough time coating them with the sugar-syrup mixture. But it turns out that the mixture will continue to foam as it cooks in the oven, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to get them completely coated.)

Bake for 45 minutes total, stirring every 15 minutes and rotating sheets halfway through cooking time. Remove from oven, use a spatula to loosen nuggets from sheets, and allow to cool completely.



I think you need to have a Beaver Nugget to truly appreciate them. They're airy, but crunchy. Sweet, but a little bit salty. Yum!


My genius co-worker Jen (and with a name like that you should understand why she's a genius) suggested an alternate name for Beaver Nuggets, which I think we have a huge opportunity to capitalize on. Seeing as how we're in Wisconsin, where our mascot is Bucky the Badger, she's calling them Badger Bits. Brilliant! Different Bucky, same delicious snacks. I can see them being big ... and when they are, just remember that Badger Bits were born here!

They are making Candy Corn Oreos this year...

Is it just the middle stuff in color?

::puts four pieces of candy corn in mouth and makes fangs::

how YOU doin?

I thought they were going to be flavored, but then I found this review of them...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/grubgrade/candy-corn-oreos_b_1874914.html

That actually makes them sound a lot better then I thought they would be (I really don't like candy corn)

I'll be driving past Buc-ee's in Madisonville today. Past because while there are about 60 gas pumps there, there are usually 90 cars getting gas there.

Genius...it could only be one person.

Candy corn Oreos - sounds awesome!! But they are not on the Oreo website.

They sound nauseating to me.

Quit dunking them in the tanq!

LOL @ califgirl.

The new carnival attraction, the DeeQ DunkTanq!

I saw the Brach's caramel candy bloody toenails last night at Walgreens.

I wonder it they make candy corn peeps? And, if not...why not?

I don't know if they can do that Joker, that would require two separate companies collaborating on a great product.

They might get sued for manipulation or colusion or price setting.

You know how evil companies are these days, turning we consumers into zombies controlled by Mad Men and stuff.....

I guess that answers the 'why not' part. Thanks, Pale, for the enlightenment.

Now..my attention returns to Pink Floyd, Marooned...and the recent memories it stirs.

My attention has officially left the building...only my deficit remains.

ditto, Joker.

Saw Pumpkin, Ghost, and Bat Peeps at store last night.
They should be ready to eat by Easter.

But they're ready to microwave today! That's the only real use for the things as far as I'm concerned.

Is it Friday yet?

Nope. Not even close.

!!!!!!!
