The Next Generation of Chex Fanatics




Nate had his first taste of warm homemade chex. He wouldn't move from that bowl for like 10 minutes. I had to chronicle it for the blog.
I think we may need to change the name of the blog to American Chex. Or Chex Idol.

Holy Crap! I am calling DYFS. Not only do you have your kid sitting on the island, you are sitting by while he shoves butter filled chex in his mouth.

Hey, atleast I put the whole grain wheat chex in.

Oh yeah - and thanks for the card and call on my birthday. a-hole

Ouch, Jay. Don't you have an alarm set on your iCal or something? 'Course, who am I to talk?

On to the topic of the week:
When the Chex came out of the microwave, the house smelled so good that the dogs were running around, sniffing, with their noses in the air.

Michael got out of the shower and immediately dove in. I told him to be careful and let them cool a bit or he would steam his tongue.) Did he listen? What do you think.

Even with a steamed tongue, he kept eating until the final surrender of, "Get them away from me!" We hooked another one.

Oh, Heather...did you see the documentary (on the Doc channel) called "The Drug Years"? It is a four part series that was shown at Sundance this year and has absolutely amazing footage (especially the concert footage) that I know you would appreciate. Actually, this is stuff everyone should see, if it comes around again. I've never seen much of this footage before. FYI

M - You can't eat chex without uttering that phrase. We have officailly ruined 2 meals with chex mix. We must hide them before dinner. Peter keeps saying"I don't know what the big deal is." But he has eaten more than anyone else.

Peg - you did great with the birthday post! J could have atleast replied with a Happy Birthday or something. He better have a big basket of Kiehls stuff waiting for me! ;)

P - I don't think we have that channel - I would never turn it off!

OK now...a couple of weeks ago I held out for about 10days before succumbing to the pizza gods but I am buying the ingredients tomorrow. Maybe if I share them with all of my dieting friends it won't be too bad. Did I say diet in the same sentence as Chex? I'm officially jonsin'. David has had to view both Jersy Pizza and Chex picures on the same blog. He may never sign on again.

Michael said he saw the series listed on VH1 as well. Look for it ;) Well worth an afternoon.

I don't know why Heather thinks that chex officially ruined 2 meals. The chexs WERE the main entree and what you thought were the meals were just the side dishes.

And whoever thinks you have to wait until chex cooloff doesn't know (or maybe forgot) the true taste of chex. Especially when you get a nice chewey bunch of warm, buttery wheat chex as the first hand full.

Oh, was I dreaming? I won't get chex until ....

peggy wolff said...

Oh, no. I like them warm, just not so hot that they burn a grid into your taste buds!

Big Daddy likes the wheat ones...go figure :)

I'm on the countdown til Wednesday. So is it officially Idol Chex or American Chex? Did you see where there is a new kid's show on Discovery kids called Wilbur? I think Wilbur is a cow.
Antway, I'm not fan of the wheat one's but hot and chewy make them an OK addition.Traditionally, I have left out the wheat but added pretzels and peanuts.
Heather, don't call your brother names.

heathandpete said...

But he forgot my Birthday!!!! No card, no call, not even a stinking reply to Peggy's post.

How 'bout...the Chex Elimination?

Speaking of possible elimination, can you believe our neice/cousin/granddaughter (did I cover them all?) Cassie jumping out of a freakin' airplane? So she doesn't do "drugs" but she jumps out of airplanes. I'd say that used up one of the family "lives" on tap. Wonder if Danny knew about it beforehand.

P.S.

As long as they don't create another Wilbur the Pig, I'm fine with it. Now, many of us have and have had the last name "Wilbur". However, I was the bearer of the first name "Peggy", which was easily changed by switching the vowel to "i".

The worst of it is that I got married and changed my name mid-medical ordeal (my back surgery and the lead-up to it) and all of my medical records have me listed as "Peggy Wilbur-Wolff". How do you like that one? The doctors must all think I'm some Native-American wannabe!

I kind of like Elimination Chex. I didn't want to sound like the 'Old Family Fart' (shut up David) but Cassi has left her brain in some lab at Penn. Although she did look like she was having a good time. Cassi, what were you thinking?????
4 years of an Ivy League education. Isn't there something ELSE you can do for a rush? Maybe wrestle alligators or something less dangerous. How about sticking your head in a lion's mouth?
