Our house hit by something last night

Chad

I was startled awake about quarter to midnight by a loud noise. It sounded like something hit the house. I immediately got up and looked outside but didn’t see anything. I did see some kids pretty far off in the distance. This morning I looked at the front of the house and something red definitely hit the house.  I don’t know what it is yet, I was thinking a paint ball, but I think a paint ball would have made a bigger mess.

Fluffernutter variation – Oh yeah, it’s good!

Fluffernutter, I’ve only learned of this word just last week, and ever since, I’ve been wanting to try one. What is it? Well, simply put, it’s Marshmallow Fluff and Peanut Butter between a couple of slices of bread. Read the wikipedia entry for a little more insight.

Marshmallow Fluff

On the way home from work tonight I had to stop at the store for a few items, so I made a point to look for some Marshmallow Fluff, and to my delight, there it was. The only downside was this was the 16oz. tub and not the smaller 7 1/2oz. jar they also have available. This was more than I really needed, but I wasn’t willing search the city for the smaller portion.

Marshmallow Fluff & Peanut Butter

So after supper tonight, I decided to see what this phenomenon was all about. I went gathering the ingredients, but in our house we never have white bread, and I figured it might not be the best it can be on a multigrain substitute, so I looked for another housing option. Ahh, we have some chocolate graham crackers. I think that might just do the trick.

As you can see in the picture, I didn’t get too nuts with either the fluff or the peanut butter

In the end, this one delectable treat if you’re a fan of the used ingredients! Now to try the Fluffernutter shake as seen on page 13 of the Marshmallow Fluff Yummy Book [PDF].
