key lime pie recipe

Ingredients:

1 Container of Yoplait Key Lime Pie yogurt
1 or 2 Oreos, crushed

Mix crushed Oreo(s) into container of Key Lime Pie yogurt; stir and enjoy.

I hope you all aren't too put off by my sophistication in the culinary arts. I love this snack because it is reminiscent of the key lime pie my mother makes with an Oreo crust. The inclusion of this 'recipe' is a joke, yes, but not an entirely accurate representation of my cooking/baking skills. I do love to bake, but I really haven't made the time for it. Or, when I get the urge to make cookies, I find that I am out of milk, eggs, etc., and am too lazy to run to the store (or rather, 'Han-Dee Mart,' down the street from 'Ho-Made Pies.' God bless DeSoto). The most pathetic part is that I ate all my Oreos yesterday, so now I am suffering through Oreo-less key lime pie yogurt. I suppose I will live.

In other news, I am reading Othello for the first time, and I am pretty sure that I am the only person to make it out of high school and an undergraduate English program without having read it. I am enjoying it, but had to spend the greater part of the evening reading it - it's not going as quickly as the other Shakespeare plays I've read this semester. 

For awhile, I couldn't find anything that scared my cat, Holden. He's unfazed by the vacuum, shower, and other sorts of loud and/or wet things. However, as I was opening a bottle of club soda the other day (my new obsession), I noticed that Holden was disturbed and frightened by the loud fizzing, and when the bottle sprayed and he was doused with club soda, he writhed and wriggled like a demon being splashed with holy water. While it is somewhat sad and pathetic, it really was quite funny... and really, club soda? I would think that the vacuum, or something larger and more powerful, would pose a much greater threat. He is so silly.

Alright, off to bed... tomorrow marks another wonderful day in the world of teaching, office hours, classes, and all the other trimmings of graduate school life...
