Making Muddy Buddies with the Kids

Muddy Buddies
Photo-A-Day #4627

We may just have a new Christmas snack food tradition thanks to Chex Cereal and General Mills. They sent us everything needed to make Muddy Buddies. i have never tried these before but… Oh Man! They are fantastic! Allison was out at Knitting tonight and so Andrew, Eva and I made the Muddy Buddies from the kit that we were sent. It is very easy to make but it can be messy. Or at least it takes a few bows and pans and whatnot to make them. The Muddy Buddies recipe is really simple and can be found on the Chex Website. We made the Chocolate Peanut Butter kind of Muddy Buddies. Andrew shook up the bag on the left and Eva the one on the right. I think that one of the bags either had more in it or less powdered sugar. I am not sure. I may have to ake another couple of batches to bring to work this weekend.

The items that were sent to me were really nice including a special BenSpark.com Spoon! Check it out below. Continue reading Making Muddy Buddies with the Kids →

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Premiere Images And New Featurette

Star Wars The Last Jedi PremiereOn Friday Brian from Built from Bricks and I will be seeing Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I cannot wait to see this movie. Two years ago when Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out I was able to see a sneak preview of the movie and it was fantastic. I was so excited to see a new, and really well done, Star Wars movie. I am not a fan of the prequels but these sequels have been very entertaining. Or rather, one sequel and a stand alone movie that tied right in to A New Hope. Last year’s Rogue One was a such a great movie and the characters were fantastic. I especially liked Baze Malbus and Chirrut Imwe.

Well, on December 10th the premiere of Star Wars: The Last Jedi happened and it was an incredible pull out all the stops event. Stars Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Lupita Nyong’o, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie, Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern and Benicio Del Toro were joined by writer/director Rian Johnson and producers Kathleen Kennedy and Ram Bergman for a walk down the red carpet where they greeted enthusiastic fans at the world premiere of Lucasfilm’s STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI. This looks like it was an amazing event. They had Storm Troopers, Imperial Guards and more also walking the red carpet. How fun is that!

Some friends of mine went on a trip to interview the cast of Star Wars: The Last Jedi and were also on hand for a large press conference with the cast. they didn’t see the movie but they had a once in a lifetime trip none-the-less. I look forward to sharing with you the thoughts I have on the movie once I see it on Friday morning with Brian. But until then I can watch this new featurette all about the new worlds in STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI:
