Today was just one of those days where nothing seemed to go right. The biggest chunk of my day was spent in the car because I had to go to the pharmacy 3 times to get only a partial prescription for The Comedian. Moving has really messed up all of his prescriptions. I had refills from our old doc which was, of course, in another state. His new insurance didn't like that, so I have had to have a nurse over-ride all of those prescriptions with his new doc's name. The people in the pharmacy have bent over backwards for me, but because of the long weekend, things had not gone the way I'd hoped. Needless to say, after only 6 weeks of living here, the pharm tech knows me by sight and doesn't even wait for me to give a name before she whips out a little baggie of meds.
Okay, that was more than I meant to say, but the end result of all of my running around is that dessert was on the fly tonight. I came up with a five minute sweet that the kids loved (though one actually said it was too sweet ~ he'd cut himself a 6" X 3" piece, so don't take his word for it...gluttony will make any treat undesirable!).
Cheerio Squares
1 small pkg jell-o, any flavor (3oz)
2 Tbls butter
1/3 cup corn syrup
4 cups cheerios
Melt the butter, corn syrup and jello in a saucepan on medium heat. Stir until mixture boils. Pour over cheerios and mix well. Press into a greased 9 x 9 pan.By the time dinner is over, these have cooled and set. You could use any color or flavor. I used strawberry.
