treats

An excellent reiteration of cornbread, good for dessert (tho I'd eat it for breakfast):

Take pieces of cornbread (slightly stale or dry is fine). Crumble up a bit into bite-size pieces and spread in a layer on a plate or in a bowl. Dot the surface with butter or margarine and strawberry jam. Microwave for about 45 seconds. Eat with a spoon.

I discovered today that Jelly Belly makes 7-Up flavored jelly beans. They are interesting, if not completely different from the regular lemon-lime jelly beans. Perhaps they have a bit more "sparkle" to them. The fizz, unfortunately, is only imaginary.

It has been several years since I visited a library with any frequency. Today, I went and got a library card and with it checked out two novels that I have not read yet. Perhaps this will allow me to stem the flow of money from my checking account into the coffers of Barnes and Noble. The books I borrowed are Mort by Terry Pratchett and Coyote Blue by Christopher Moore. In three weeks, I hope to have read both of them. First, though, I will finish Good Omens. Which I should get back to now.
