Appeal of Twilight in relation to age

Apparently, they didn't input the 20-something Mormon "women" on this graph. They also think, "ZOMGZ!1! best thing EVER!" or maybe they're just Twi-mom's in training? I will not be seeing this movie until it comes out at Redbox, just like the last one.

I think I fit nicely into this graph's 21-30 section. The end.

Fresh Cranberry Apple Tarts

2 Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crust (from 15-oz box), softened as directed on box. (or use 2 frozen pie shells)
4 small granny smith apples
1 cup cranberries
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 dash nutmeg
1/2 tsp lemon juice*

Preheat oven to 400. Thaw pie crusts at room temperature 20 to 30 min. Roll out pie crust and cut into 4 inch circles. I used a 4 inch round cookie cutter. Press the dough in a cupcake pan.

Core and peel apples, cut into cubes. Place cranberries, lemon juice, maple syrup, sugar, salt, and flour in saucepan and bring to boil on high, stirring constantly. Turn heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes. Add apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg and simmer for 5 minutes.

Place filling in the pie crusts. Cut remaining pie crusts into small strips and make a lattice top. Bake at 400 for 18 minutes.

If you wanted to make this into a pie, use 6 small granny smith apples instead of 4 and bake for 45 minutes.

Crock Pot Creamy Italian Chicken

4 Chicken Breasts
1 can campbell's Healthy Request (98% fat free) cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup
8 oz pkg light cream cheese (neufchatel cheese)
1 packet (dry) Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix*
1 cup sliced crimini mushrooms (optional)**

Place ingredients into crock pot and cook on low 6-7 hours. High 3-4 hours. Serve with brown rice or egg noodles and a vegetable.


*DO NOT use fat free. Fat Free isn't supposed to be cooked.
**Crimini mushrooms are heartier than white mushrooms, they remind me of a cross between portabello and white mushrooms.

Do you ever read through your old journals and think, "I'm such a dork!"?

I...I Didn't Know

This is one of my favorite comics. I showed it to a friend a while ago and it a fantastic converging of events, it was used on me today as I was venting to her and realized I'm an idiot. I just wish there was an emoticon for that last image. It's so perfect. Since there isn't one, I've decided that this :-| equals idiot.

Do you think that works?

Love Happens

I can think of a bunch of titles that would describe this movie better:

Life Happens
Therapy Happens
Rain Happens
Seattle Happens

I should have gone to kids-in-mind.com before I saw this boring, sappy show. I was hoping for a cookie-cutter romantic comedy. What I got was a boring self-help book that was no help at all.

Until it erupts in tears, Love Happens” dawdles along uncertainly as though debating exactly how to season its morose story with enough attempted witticisms to keep the audience from dozing off. Directed by Brandon Camp, from a screenplay he wrote with Mike Thompson, the movie stars Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Aniston as a widowed self-help guru and the conveniently single Seattle woman who prods him into releasing his pent-up anguish. -New York Times
