The Reynoldz

WOW!!
Oh my gosh!!
Eric made me a super dooper surprise pan of "K Bars" with candles in it and everything.
For those who do not know "K" Bars" is a special treat that my Mom makes and I devour..
Eric secrectly obtained the recipe from my Mom, and last night after I went to bed Eric got to busy in the kitchen..

Well the verdict.... CHOMP CHOMP...
We all agreed that the NZ "K Bar"version, even though it looked super yummy!!, well......, it just did not work..
We are calling this version "Nay Bars"..

All I can say is "Send butterscotch chips! and white corn syrup!" They do not sell 2 of the key ingrediants here in New Zealand. Eric had to make do with what we have here so he substituted these ingrediants with Maple syrup and white chocolate.. hmmm.. sounds like it should be delicious.. =)

It was a really really nice attempt on his part though!! I sure do love him!

oh... My mom and dad are having a party/gathering with all my family at their house today. My mom is making the thick COSTCO pork chops, potato salad and they will probably have the real "K Bar". YUM YUM.

I will call in using the web cam at 10:00am my time/3:00pm their time so I can "virtually" join the festivities.. Can't wait to see everyone!

oh and by the way...

The package from my parents that I mentioned in an earlier Blog.. I opened it today, and I got a really great shirt! a cheese grator, and coffee filters (they do not sell the kind I need here in NZ)..pretty great gift if I do say so myself!!
Eric and the girls bought me a cool gift of a ton of acrylic paints and canvases..

I sure am lucky!

Oh oh oh.. (read excited) Athea starts pre-school today, she will go 2 mornings a week. This morning we will have a visit and get aquainted day. "She is excited to play in the sand pit.." more on that to come.. Gotta go and help get her ready for the day!

Busy Busy Busy!
