reese's peanut brittle

 this weekend i finished the bag of reese's peanut brittle minis that i had bought at a walgreen. i like reese's peanut butter a lot so i am willing to try different versions of it. this of course was bought due to being discounted after christmas. next weekend i will likely finish the second bag, which had a few more minis in it than the first did. the bag says it is peanut brittle flavored creme with crunchy peanut butter. and one sees orange and green stripes on the wrappers to these minis. on the back of the bag it says 'go nuts, it's the holidays'. this isn't the last of the reese's i have at this time as there are plenty of 'trees' as well, in single packs but also some 2-piece packs. 

i wanted to get started kind of early this morning on laundry so i could watch most of the NFL playoff games at home. i got laundry done just before the first game began, eagles-bucs. i shut it off at the end of the first quarter, bucs were way ahead by then. i wanted to catch the iowa/minnesota basketball game on the radio. at first i went with the radio station listed in friday's paper, but that wasn't it, as i was hearing the football game. so i went online and found out the alternate station for the 'gopher radio network' and switched it there. iowa was way ahead for much of the game but minnesota came close near the end. iowa still held on to win, 81-71. there were some times where i have attended this game. but in recent years i have cut back greatly on event tickets and the savings has helped with paying down debts. i watched more of the middle game, 49ers-cowboys. but not much of the third and final game of the day, steelers-chiefs. i said i wanted to get things done, and i did. it meant going through a binder holding pocket schedules and business cards. i wanted to free up space for three pages for various kinds of trading cards, some for sports cards. and i threw out most of the cards i got from looking from work, it was time to send those bad memories to the shred box where they will be shredded soon. the bucs, 49ers and chiefs won today. later on i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 3 cents. so i am getting started on the next save-up goal, most likely some beer.
