I loved all those musicals too, but not only was the music and story good but the singer's voices were probably the best we have heard in this theatre venue.

I used to feel like fire drills were specifically planned for nice weather days which may or may not be true.

We did May baskets when I was a child. We used to dance around the Maypole too. None of that seems to be around anymore. Sigh...

Napping is a good idea while still on drugs. I went on a bit of a shopping spree on-line while still high from round one of my plastic surgery. I told DH to take my credit cards away this time around!

We did May baskets too! I remember the neighbor thinking I was doing ding dong ditch it when I was actually leaving a May basket. Got yelled at for the wrong thing!

Fried Ice cream Dessert

Ingredients

  • 3 cups crushed Corn Flakes cereal
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter
  • 1 (1.75 quart) container Vanilla ice cream
  • 1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup honey
  • Chocolate syrup
  • Caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Take the vanilla ice cream out of your freezer and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or so, to soften.
  2. Melt butter in a medium skillet, over medium heat. Add the crushed corn flakes and sugar. Stir to combine. Fry mixture for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until cereal is golden-brown. *Be careful not to burn. It may take less than 5 minutes*
  3. Take a 9Ã--13 baking dish and spread â..." of the corn flakes mixture into the bottom of pan. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, add the softened vanilla ice cream and cool whip. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Using a spatula, stir and mix well to combine. Spread ice cream mixture over the top of the corn flake mixture in the bottom of the pan.
  5. Spread the remaining corn flake mixture evenly over the ice cream. Drizzle the honey over the top. Cover pan, and place in freezer. Freeze ice cream for at least 5 hours, or overnight.
  6. Cut into squares and serve with drizzles of chocolate syrup and caramel sauce (and if you're feelin' frisky add some whipped cream and a cherry on top) Enjoy!

I think Beautiful ranks with Jersey Boys for best jukebox musical. I liked Get on Your Feet and Motown also, the music is great, but I agree that Beautiful tells a story very well.

Another uneventful day except for a lockdown and a fire drill. The weather was pleasant for the fire drill, so I didn't mind standing outside with students for a bit. Its clouded over now, and will probably rain. DH put down some grass seed yesterday, so some rain should do it some good.

Happy it's Friday tomorrow. We have a lot planned for May, and I'm looking forward to all of it.

A 100 grams of protein seems amazing considering how low your calories are. I want to get 80, but struggle some days to get to 60, which seems to be the bare minimum I should have.

Yes, we did May baskets. A colleague was remembering the tradition in his small town was an accepted May basket meant you could chase someone and kiss them! I don't recall that, but maybe it's something passed down from "the old country".

I really enjoyed Conclave. Yes, a spa pedicure is a treat, a DIY pedicure is just another task to complete. Spa wins!
