fire roasted m&m's

sometimes we like to cook for each other.  i'm usually the full fledged meal cooker and he might help out with making snacks or chopping the watermelon or vegetables[because knives and i don't get along].  there are a few things he's way better at than me though, one being....pancakes.  in fact my personal pancake chef is whipping up a batch for me as we speak. 
last night we went to the movies to see eclipse again {yes, i'm a fan}  we over indulged on junk food like you sometimes do when at the movies only to come home feeling hungry for real food.  it was pretty late at this point but i was asking za husband what he would like while we played a few games of rummikub before bed.  his answer.....fire roasted m&m's.  more junk food....awesome.  so i did what any good wife would do, i listened and before he knew it there was a bowl of warm m&m's in front of his face which i may or may not have helped him eat. 

a few days ago we went to the store to get all kinds of snacks for a small 4th of july party we are hosting at our place that will involve za muzza and za bruzza.  well now it looks like we need another bag of m&m's because those late night rummikub games have got us taking down almost an entire bag.  i warm the m's in the microwave for a few seconds hence the genius name i came up with of fire roasted m&m's which we laughed about for quite some time the other night.  now excuse me while i go prepare for our little party.  it'll be a fun one i'm sure because when we spent time with them last night we laughed so hard for a long time just like we always do with za family. 
i hope you all enjoy your festivities, whatever they may be!

p.s.  za husband was encouraging me to be creative this weekend, since i haven't really been feeling the artistic vibe lately.  here is what i came up with...

in case it's hard to tell what you are looking at due to the psychedelic patterns...it's a tree with a swing and our two hearts swinging through a cloudy night.
