Holy Unwrapped Rolos Batman

So I was strolling along in Walmart yesterday, when lo and behold they had a display of chocolates in the middle aisle.   They had bags of Rolos.   Right there on the front of the bag in big letters it said 'unwrapped'!!!  Can you believe it??   How exciting!!

What?  You don't understand my excitement?  Then you have obviously never needed Rolos for a recipe before.   I have this delicious and simple recipe that uses Rolos.   I've made it before and sat there for over a half an hour unwrapping Rolo after Rolo.   Not fun!!!

All this excitement, made me go through the rest of Walmart and buy the stuff for the recipe.   It's super simple.  All you need is Rolos, mini pretzels and whole shelled pecans. 

1.  Preheat the oven to 350.
2.  Put the pretzels on a baking pan in a flat layer. 
3.  On each pretzel, place a rolo.
4.  Bake for 3 minutes.  Just enough to soften the chocolate on the Rolo.
5.  Take them out and place a pecan on each Rolo, squishing it down into the pretzel.
6.  let the chocolate cool and set-up again.   Then eat!!!

They are so yummy and look pretty too.   The combination of salt, chocolate, caramel and nut will have any mouth watering!

Here's my recipe I made:

I do have to admit, I made these with the mini-Rolos (maybe they are the only ones unwrapped), but they don't have as much caramel in them as the normal ones.   So buyer beware :D  The big rolos taste better!

Short tempered

Wow, it's been way too long.   I constantly vacillate between putting all of my feelings and life events out there on the world wide web for all to see and keeping my life private, in a "cause why does everyone really need to know" way.  

Today, however, I'm going to let it all hang out there.    I am feeling very short tempered.   I came down with this nasty cold that is just wiping me out physically.   Then I arrive back home from story hour with the kids and was trying to get the attention of two of my children.   It actually hurts to yell, and I have to muster up all kinds of strength in my lungs to get a loud noise out.   So I send another child to tell the two that I want them.    One listened obediently and the other just completely  ignored the request.   Ugh!  Made me so mad.   Then the one starts giving me lip about not riding bikes on the basketball court.   Seems like a simple request right, since someone wants to play basketball.   Anyway, now we are inside and if the fighting continues, the kids will be spending some lovely alone time in their rooms.  

The constant barrage of questions and complaint just frustrates me too.  

Oh an my house is disaster.   Probably cause I've felt sick for two days, but it still frustrates me about myself.   I just want to curl up and read a good book in a nice cozy recliner that's not broke.  

K, well pray for me today.   I'm going to search for a better attitude in my house somewhere.    I'm guessing I'm going to find it with a combination of some bible time and cold medicine... maybe some caffeine too :D
