Butterfinger Fondue

Here is a new recipe, never before tried, that I know of!!! During a discussion with a friend we came up with a thought, is it possible to melt Butterfingers into a fondue, just like you do for chocolate fondue. And so, I tried it and here is the resulting recipe:

1. Buy Butterfingers, as many as you need for the amount of fondue you want (the more the better, yuuuummmmm).

2. Crush up the Butterfingers as small as possible to make the melting easier, and to make snitching pieces less easy.

3. Melt the smashed up Butterfingers in a pan, not to hot or else it'll go strange. Also adding milk is helpful to avoid it becoming a caramel blob.

4. Eat the fondue by dumping apples or other fruits into it.

5. Repeat step four

6. Repeat step five

etc etc etc...
This delicious snack is possible for everyone to make. The result is a tasty treat tasting similar to chocolate fondue with a caramel twist! Enjoy!!!

It's Raining, It's Flooding..

It's raining, it's flooding, the old man is... wait, that doesn't work! I think I better change that. It's raining, it's flooding, the dirt is all mudding, I went to bed while the plants are fed, and now they are all budding!
To use a quote I saw on a friend's blog by Frederick Buechner "If it seems a childish thing to do, do it in remembrance that you are a child." This I took to heart when I ran outside, calling for Rebecca to join me, right into the pouring rain and the growing pond-like puddle!

Now the rain has stopped and the water is leaving again, but due to staying where we are, the rain will come back...someday!

GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAL!!!

On the 11 of July, a very important day, something very wonderful occurred. I am not talking about my going to an all you can eat pizza buffet, though that is wonderful, I am referring to the World Cup finals! Just because our TV isn't connected up and working at the moment is no good reason to not watch it, and so we did as we did for all the other matches we watched in America... we went online to live streaming and were able to see the entire match. Of course we all were for Spain , and to our joy, Spain won the world cup! For a bit of an explanation of the above picture, yes I know I am wearing a Portugal shirt, yes I know Portugal wasn't playing, but since I only had a Swiss or Portugal shirt to choose from, I decided Portugal was closer. This is Spain's very first time for winning the World Cup, so I am very glad for them! Besides, this means, indirectly Switzerland is just as much of a winner since they are the only ones able to beat Spain this World Cup! Hurray for Spain, hurray for Switzerland!!!

Shall We Dance!!!

I have shown my great sophistication by attending a live musical at a dinner theater (yes, I am sophisticated whether I show it or not). It was a production of The King and I by the Dutch Apple Dinner theater. I enjoyed the evening very much, and not just the all you can eat buffet (including ice cream) but the actual play was fun. I was able to restrain myself from bursting into song with the actors, though when my favorite "Shall we dance?" scene came, it was very hard to keep silent. But I made up for that later on! For all those who have never even heard of The King and I, I would highly recommend you look it up, it is such a nice story filled with fun songs!

A Whole New World

Yesterday early, very early, I had to say goodbye to Switzerland and hello to America. Now here I am two plane flights later, sitting in a cafe so as to access the internet. We actually were able to fly all the way to London then to Philadelphia without any mishaps! No luggage lost, no canceled flights, no sleeping in airports! The worst that happened was having terrible food on the flight (who chose to serve smoked salmon sandwiches anyway?). It was a relief to finally arrive at our house and I almost immediately went to sleep. Thanks to jet leg I was able to wake up at six even though I spent past midnight catching up on everything with, of course, Heather :) Now here I am sitting here with a milkshake next to me as I am setting up my new lap top for University. I am looking forward to the next few days of visiting with family and shopping! I hope everyone keeps in touch with me :)
