It’s been ages and ages since I have seen a comic book. I don’t even know where to find comic books for sale. I used to walk down to the corner drug store and buy my comic books with my allowance money. I used to pay 10 cents for a comic about “Archie” and his friends or “Mickey Mouse” and Donald Duck. When I got a little older I liked the “Millie the Model” comic books. I wonder if any of these are still in print?

A friend has a big stack of old rock and roll tee shirts. You can only wear so many shirts. And the collection continues to grow. So he asked me if there was any way I could take the shirts and make them into a quilt. I think that is a very cool idea. I’ll give it some thought. I might have a new hobby around the corner!

I don’t remember my mother ever cooking chili for us when we were growing up. I don’t think /I even tasted chili until I had been married for a year or so and my mother inlaw make a venison chili. Of course, I loved it. That woman could cook a huge variety of different meals and they were always delicious.

But it was my second husband who introduced me to chili mac. This was a dish that he grew up with and loved to make himself. It combines chili with macaroni noodles and cheddar cheese. It may sound horrible, but trust me – it’s delicious!

This morning I took out my package of Thomas’s English Muffins and split the muffin in half with a fork. This is how I make toast in the morning – the same thing I’ve done since I was 8 years old and my mom showed me how. Mom say that the ONLY english muffins are the ones that Thomas’s makes and I have to admit I did try a couple other brands but have always been disappointed in the off-brands.

I dropped the two muffin halves in the toaster and pressed the lever down. Nothing happened. The lever would not stay down and the little heat elements inside never turned red.

I guess my toaster has gone on to that big kitchen counter up in the sky.
