White Trash recipe

Now, it's probably one of my favorite holiday treats (though it would be just as good any other time of year!) So what is "white trash"? Simply put, it's a glorious combination of sweet, salty, crunchy and highly addictive candy. Sandra Bullock hawked her version of it, Aunt Luddy's White Trash, last year on Jay Leno. Even Alton Brown has his own version of the stuff. I guarantee that once you give it as a gift, you will have many requests for repeat performances. White Trash 2 cups Corn Chex cereal 2 cups Wheat Chex cereal 2 cups Cheerios 2 cups pretzel sticks 2 cups peanuts 2 bags white chocolate chips 2 teaspoons vegetable oil Melt white chocolate in a double boiler.

Fabulous Finds: Cute things floating around the web

Now that I have one, I can't wait to start doing some projects like this. What inspired you this week?

The tans.Nothing says "I spent a week lounging on a fabulous beach while you were stuck in the office" more than sun streaked highlights in your hair. It's easy to replicate those delicate highlights even if all you have is the afternoon pulling weeds in your garden. My grandmother swore that adding lemon juice to the final rinse of my hair would make my blonde hair even blonder. Later, I tried the commercial product Sun In and drove with the top of my convertible down. It worked a little too well and I ended up looking like Billy Idol, complete with not so blonde roots. Billy Idol. Fun to listen to, but not great to look like . As my hair has darkened over the years, I found the commercial products would end up leaving me with more of an orange striped look than the light blonde highlights I craved. So it was back to revisit Grandma's idea. I make my own highlight spray using lemon juice and water
