Mmmmmmm....Mmmmmmmmm...GOOD!

I admit it...I am addicted to Stacy's Simply Naked Pita Chips. If you have never tried them....all I can say is....DON'T!! I could easily sit and eat an entire bag in one sitting if it weren't for the fact that a one ounce serving is 5 grams of fat and 130 calories. Still I eat one small bag every week...sometimes within a few days. That means 40 grams of fat and 1040 calories and I really don't care...sort of.

A week ago Sunday I opened the cabinet to grab my brand new bag and it wasn't there. I thought maybe Irv had put them in a different cabinet, so I checked a couple more and no pita chips. Did I forget to buy them? No way! Did the store forget to bag them? Probably not.

I checked a couple other cabinets and then it hit me. WOW! Could it be that my normally pretty unfunny, non-joke playing husband HID my Stacy's Simply Naked Pita Chips????

I checked a couple of places where I thought he might put them and BINGO!! There they were in the little useless cabinet above the fridge!

To add to the little joke...each time I was craving some pita chips this week, I would open the cabinet, take down the bag, help myself to a handful of chips and put the bag back in the cabinet! I hope he didn't think I went all week without my chips! :)

Do you have a jokester in your house? What kind of jokes get played?

The Case of the GIANT Green Pepper

Did you ever play a funny joke on someone or have one played on you?

I remember when I was about 9 or 10, my dad and I had tropical fish. We had a small tank on the bottom shelf for expectant mommies and their new babies once they arrived. One day we had a storm and the electricity went out. I was so worried about the baby fish because the heater went out and the water would get cold and I thought they would all die. My dad, the big jokester said, "Quick, go in your room and get your desk lamp. You can shine it on the tank to give them some heat!"

Well, of course I ran into my room, unplugged the lamp, ran back into the living room and just as I was about to plug the lamp in, I realized I had been tricked. I cried of course, because I cried for everything. My dad, on the other hand couldn't stop laughing.

I'm really not a very funny person, but I did play a good trick on Irv years ago, and we still laugh about it today...or at least I do.

Irv started gardening years ago. Everything always grew well except for his green peppers. They were always a bit on the small side. He was always so proud when he picked the fresh veggies and brought them in the house....except for the darn green peppers.

One day when he wasn't home, I got a HUGE green pepper at the store. I used fishing line and tied the HUGE green pepper to one of Irv's plants in the garden. He got home from work and checked his garden as he always did and came running into the house, "Kath, come outside! You have to see this! Holy shit!"

I had to hold back my laughter as he dragged me out the door to see the GIANT green pepper that had been "hiding" under the leaves of the plant. He couldn't believe he had missed it. I tried to act stunned at the awesome green pepper but burst out laughing. Then I actually felt bad as I confessed.

I still laugh about it today when I think about it! I'm sure Irv will not be laughing when he reads this. I will say, that Irv grows very nice green peppers these days, and I enjoy them in every salad I make all summer long. :)

How about you? Got any funnies to share?
