I can only see out of one eye to type this....

I got to go to Lincoln last Saturday to watch my brother Seth in the City Parks and Recreation Swim Meet. He got his best time in his 50 yrd Freestyle event, but he doesn't believe that for whatever reason. He did well. I was extremely glad to be able to be there and support him. Not only that but I got to talk garage sales, neighbors behaviors and politics between Seth's events with Mom. :) I forgot to bring my camera, so I cannot document it in that way, but Mom got a picture or two. I made some signs in support of Seth. One of them read: "Carrying the next generation of Seth Ashby's fan club". I got to carry that one around-which is only fitting.
Sunday, I had nobody to teach in Primary, so I got to go with the other ladies. I enjoyed that sooo much.
Sunday night I was making a delicious recipe for soup that involved a fresh Poblano chile pepper. I didn't take the obvious and necessary precautions that one must take when when cutting a pepper, but I did at least wash my hands when I was finished. NOT good enough. About 10 or 15 minutes after washing my hands I rubbed my eye... running frantically into the bathroom I took out my contacts and tried to wash my eye out. Miserable! It really burnt! Awe but the soup was yummy.
For the following posting, you might only understand and appreciate it if you are LDS. But I invite all to read it anyway. Especially if you enjoy Reese's Peanutbutter Cups. My mouth is watering...

TOP TEN WAYS General Authorities Eat Reese's Peanut Butter Cups




10. Paul H. Dunn: "I remember back in WWII that I ate a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Back then, they were big enough to live on for a week. Being the only soldier to have survived the battle in my brigade, I really didn't know if I could eat it or not, but I remember my fallen buddy's words as he died in my arms: "Paul, if you just take one bite at a time you can tackle anything." So I took that giant cup and, breaking it with the bat Babe Ruth gave me after I struck him out with two outs in the bottom of the ninth in the seventh game of the World Series,proceeded to wolf down the tiny morsels."

9. David B. Haight: "Imagine 70 years ago on a rough road between Idaho and Logan. There were no Circle K's, no 7-11's. You had to bring your Peanut Butter Cups with you. Ruby and I split one for the first time in 1937.

8. Dallin H. Oaks: "The Reese's Peanut Butter Cup challenges us to consume. From the beginning there have been three steps in eating a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. First, remove the wrapper. This is best done quickly, by turning the cup over, grasping the outer fold and pulling away from the bottom. Second..."

7. Joseph B. Wirthlin: "When I was young I would sprint to the corner store, buy a Reese's and run my hand through my hair before taking it down in one bite. These days I don't sprint, and I have no hair, but the peanut butter cup remains."

6. Richard G. Scott: "If you have not eaten a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, I plead with you. Eat one now. Enjoy the chocolate, the peanut butter. Do not delay. If you have thought, "That's not for me", I plead with you to reconsider. Of all foods I treasure, this one was the first."

5. M. Russell Ballard: "The time has come when members of the church need to reach out to our friends and share a cup, a peanut butter cup.It is not enough to raise a chocolate bar, it must now have peanut butter."

4. Thomas S. Monson: "I remember I ate my first Reese's Peanut Butter Cup when I was a tender lad of eight. My mother came up to me, and with a loving twinkle in her eye, asked, 'Tommy, are you eating a Reese's?'And I would invariably smile up to her, 'Yes, Yes, I am.' 'But Tommy,did you know that Sister Jensen next door hasn't eaten a Reese's Cup in years?' My young mind thought upon the plight of my neighbor. Tears were shed. Hearts were gladdened. A cup was shared."

3. Boyd K. Packer: "In all my years, I have always eaten my Reese's Peanut Butter Cups the same way - the established way we have been instructed to eat them. There is a far greater evil in this world -those who believe they can eat their cups in a way unconventional to the time-honored manner. We must be true and faithful and eat our Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in the customary and recognized approach as it has been established."

2. Neal A. Maxwell: "I intentionally initiate the delicious design of deglutition of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup by nibbling a negligible nit of the culinary creamy cavalcade. It is exclusively through small entities that the great things are fabricated."
AND THE #1 WAY

1. J. Golden Kimball: "Hell, Heber, I'll eat a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup any damned way I want!"
