I Blame The Pancakes

My mind is a jumble of incomplete and totally unrelated thoughts this morning. Not entirely sure what my problem is, but I'm going to blame last night's dinner of Elvis pancakes. They were delicious and I can't stop thinking about them.

My thoughts, in jumbled up order:

1. Today I must make a time honored family recipe: Oreo Balls. Or, if you are feeling fancy, Oreo Truffles. Today I am not feeling fancy, so Balls it is.

2. Well, that came out wrong. Perhaps today should be a Truffle day. Truffles it is.

3. The Oreo Truffles are ridiculously easy to make, but I'm stressing because I bought a bag of Double Stuffed Oreos instead of regular Oreos. What if the Truffles can't handle being Double Stuffed? What will become of my Balls? Will they be wrecked?

Wrecked Balls? Wrecking Balls?

Get it? Hilarious. Jeez, I crack myself up.

I need to calm down.

Deep cleansing breath followed by thoughts of last night's Elvis pancakes.

4. Ok. I've calmed down. Somewhat. Elvis pancakes will do that to a person.

5. Elvis pancakes are chocolate chip pancakes covered with melty peanut butter and banana slices with bacon on the side. They are truly fabulous. If you like that sort of thing. And I do.

6. My Christmas cactus still hasn't bloomed. I should have tried making moonshine instead. Pretty sure I could be more successful making hootch than getting this dang cactus to bloom.

7. My husband and I are having a date tonight. With each other. That is key. He wants to go see the new James Bond movie. I agreed and then wondered out loud if I could keep up with plot having never seen a James Bond movie. My husband looked horrified (an all too common expression) and then accepted the fact that I haven't ever seen a 007 flick.

8. A couple of hours after my James Bond revelation, my husband and I were watching The Office and the movie Die Hard was mentioned, specifically that one of The Office characters had never seen the movie. I could relate because guess who has two thumbs and hasn't seen Die Hard? This girl.

9. Sigh. I fear a Must See movie list for 2013 is looming. All eight Harry Potter movies, Die Hard, several James Bond flicks, and The Usual Suspects are going to be on it. Probably the Princess Bride, too. At some point, I hope I learn to keep my lack of movie knowledge to myself. Perhaps that will be my 2013 Resolution.

10. It would be a great use of my time to multi-task today: make Oreo Truffles while watching one of the remaining three movies on this year's Must See list. Hmm … what pairs nicely with Oreo Truffles?

11. Monty Python. I think Oreo Truffles would pair up nicely with 70s British humor.
