Noodle, Don't Noodle

We celebrated without Jeremy while he was gone. Here's some of what we celebrated:

 

October 6 was National Noodle Day. We had angel hair pasta and alfredo. I love alfredo.

 

Did you know they changed National Taco Day? I just found out when my mom wished me a Happy National Taco Day on October 7 this year. It used to always be on October 4. Now it's always Taco Tuesday. 

We made homemade tortilla chips which can be used with taco salad. We didn't eat taco salad, though.

 

October 7 was also Chocolate Covered Pretzel Day. Jr. Jr. melted some chocolate chips and we dipped pretzel sticks in them. Mmmm.

 

October 8 was Fluffernutter Day. I had this on the calendar. I planned on making Fluffernutter sandwiches the whole time. The day of, I realized I didn't have marshmallow fluff. I knew we didn't have marshmallow fluff. It didn't occur to me to go shopping for marshmallow fluff even though that is what is needed for Fluffernutter sandwiches. So we got creative and made grilled Fluffernutter sandwiches with peanut butter, and marshmallows when melted become marshmallow fluff.

Woohoo. Creativity!

Consensus: Members of my family are not fans of grilled peanut butter sandwiches. Several would prefer grilled cheese. Good to know. Although we do like waffle cones with chocolate chips, marshmallows, and peanut butter, so it's the grilled sandwich aspect that doesn't work with the peanut butter.

 

Speaking of grilled cheese sandwiches, the next day, October 9, Jr. Jr. and I were eating grilled cheese sandwiches and this conversation happened.

Mom: It's Moldy Cheese Day. Guess how I celebrated.

(Jr. Jr. looks at me blankly)

Mom: It's Moldy Cheese Day. (wiggles sandwich) Guess how I celebrated.

(Jr. Jr. looks down at his grilled cheese sandwich and starts to laugh)

Jr. Jr.: That deserves a hug. (proceeds to give me a hug) 

 

I mentioned I didn't think we even had any moldy cheese in the fridge. I found some a few days later while I was cleaning out the refrigerator.
