Hermiones Mom's Journal, 09 July 2016

It seems like forever since I made my last post. I drove to Iowa on Friday -- it's 5 hrs 45 min to Cedar Falls. Then we worked from 8am to 2am Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, then the 5+ hour drive back to Chicago on Wednesday, went to the theater Wednesday night, and worked until 2am again! Thursday I got up at 7 to finish the last of the work on the grant, which had to be filed electronically by 3pm Central. So I'm kind of hoping that the fact that I ate a bag of these amazing chili nut M&Ms and a small wheel of brie between Saturday and Wednesday won't make too much difference in the overall scheme of things, except of course for the fact that my innards are in an uproar. I'm sure it will take days to calm them down. But I thought it was interesting -- I was really relieved to come home and get back on track. Tonight, as usual, I'm having a Saturday night dinner that includes a little more flexibility than the rest of the week: I'm making a nice blueberry-peach crumble. For some reason I haven't made one in a long time, and the blueberries are on sale, so it seemed like a good idea. Hope it comes out ok -- I'm always improvising...

Chili nut M&Ms? Are those new? The brie sounds better than the M&Ms.

Engeland -- the chili-nut M&Ms are some kind of promotional thing being test-marketed, and I am sorry to say THEY WERE DELICIOUS! -- and I would eat them again, but of course they made me terribly sick, since I'm sure they are sweetened with HFCS, which is NOT on my diet. I brought a bag home from Iowa, but, don't worry, they will likely be used as a birthday gift for a friend.

Yes, give them to a friend as a gift. :)) I think I would be sick if I tried eating M&Ms again. I haven't eaten them in more than 10 years.
