No doubt Martha Stewart’s envious, but here’s an idea I had for a recent gathering. Rice crispy treats with a little food coloring (a ratio of 3 yellow drops to 1 red for the orange), half a fruit loop for the stem (my wife’s idea), and voilà! Festive fall pumpkin treats. They were met with coos of “cute” from the women, and few leftovers remained.

[...] Maybe he didn’t tell me because he knew I’d do this, but Austin’s got himself a blog. And it’s a great blog. Apparently it’s been around for a while, but I only heard about it a couple of weeks ago at our Friday Night Bible Study (night of the “coo”-worthy rice crispy treats - awww, bless his heart!) And then I tried to find the thing and couldn’t. Then he commented on my blog, and I nabbed him! Ha! So, I’m doing what he perhaps most wished to avoid and am publically announcing Il Filosofo right here on my front page; not only that, but I am adding a handy link to my sidebar. When Melita finishes her phlog-o-blog renovations, I will have a matching Matzko set, and we can all die happy. [...]

OK, men: At the count of 3, we go in, wrestle I.F. to the ground, bind him and duct-tape his mouth, and rescue him from his captivity in Estrogenia. He’s way past Stockholm Syndrome. Mistah Kurtz, he domesticated.
Hey, some of us are confident in our masculinity.
I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAVE CALLED YOUR SITE “ILFILOSOFO”.
i love the stem/the whole idea is great.
i already told melita congratulations, but — same to you!
we LIKE him domesticated. besides, SOMEONE has to cook in that household ;o) and what ELSE is a guy getting his phD in philosophy supposed to do all day? gimme a break (and pass the rice crispy treats!)
Yeah, yeah. I know. I’m completely lost in the kitchen, despite the talents of my mother and grandmother in that area. Trust me, I tried. But after several catastrophes, we decided my husband would be the king in the kitchen, and he enjoys it. I’d rather scrub bathrooms than cook a meal anyway.
By the way, we discovered during one of my kitchen capers that Austin is lightning quick with a fire extinguisher.
And as for what he does all day? He reads. How else do you think he got so smart?
