Today and Other Stuff

Josh, my hubby, signed up for several survey services online shortly before we got married. As a result, one of the survey services sent him this thing where he can watch commercials and receive magazine subscriptions (full year subscriptions). I received my first issue of Good Housekeeping today as a result.

Revelation time: the magazine mentioned the best way of losing weight is to write down to the minute detail exactly what you eat. Going to try it, I think. I have tried cutting back on sugared-caffeinated drinks, both to save money and as a start.

Mom and I went to Sam's club to purchase a Sam's card for me (my Christmas present). I didn't buy anything then, but Josh and I went later and we bought some stuff.

Tomorrow I get to work on grades, etc., to plan for the start of the next nine weeks.

Kahlua Recipes

My daddy bought me a Kahlua gift set for Christmas (the one with the fondue pot), and it made me wonder if there were any recipes that use cola with Kahlua. Plus, I need to post these recipes on the box so that I can get rid of the box.

Kahlua Chocolate Fondue
1 tsp butter
2 squares semisweet chocolate
1 pint marshmallow creme
1/2 cup Kahlua

Under low heat, mix the butter and chocolate into a separate pot to melt thoroughly. Blend in marshmallow creme and Kahlua and continue to stir until smooth. Once blended, add mixture to fondue pot to serve. Serve with apple, pear, banana, pineapple or pound cake chunks.


Kahlua hot chocolate
2 parts kahlua
5 parts hot cocoa
1 tbsp. whipped cream

Combine Kahlua and cocoa in a coffee cup. Top with whipped cream, sprinkle with grated chocolate, and serve.
