This past weekend, in a weak moment I shall blame on the blazing temperature which is affecting my judgment, I bought a party size bag of peanut M&Ms. ThereWasNoParty. I don’t typically eat that much candy or chocolate. Sometimes a girl just needs a fix.
My craving would have easily been satiated with a regular, one-serving, sane-person-sized bag of M&Ms, but NEVER would I EVER buy a small sized bag. That would be buying junk food obviously meant to be inhaled by yours truly.
Instead I opted for the Route 44 bag large enough to feed a class of 3rd graders after recess. It comes with the possibility of sharing with a crowd, the suggestion of a party. A hint of fun times to come. Yippee.
In a crystal bowl, the M&Ms become art on the piano like a vase of flowers. A pop of color. Visitors can partake as if the M&Ms are fancy hors d’oeuvres, like a bowl of Spanish nuts for impromptu guests who stop by. ThereAreNoGuests.

Jeff, our builder, did stop by the other night to discuss our hail damaged roof. He ate two M&Ms from the bowl. I felt like such the hostess:)) Melissa, our neighbor, stopped by to ask if we wanted to sign a petition. We were so wrapped up in Season Two of Mad Men I totally forgot to offer her any ‘dessert’! Bad hostess:((
Of course, I am the only one eating them. I’m the only one here. John is at work or out of town. The dogs can’t eat chocolate.
Why on earth did I buy those M&Ms? Of course there was a full moon last weekend….

Salt Salt! There is no party here either. Mom
But there is always a party when we are together:)
So proud of your builder Jeff for showing such restraint! 🙂
I think they should make almond M&Ms. 🙂
I think they do.
That full moon will mess with you!
Yes it will!
Though I don’t know the shelf-life of an open-bag of M&M’s, I think buying in bulk (even Route 44 size…haha) is a great idea!=) As far as using M&M’s as an art-deco display, I have to say, is a great idea for adding a colorful aesthetic quality to a room, however, in MY house, it’s a pretty short exhibition!…Yeah, I love me some Peanut M&M’s!!!=)
Not sure they will last long at my house either….
Loved it and am stealing the Bombeck quote, never heard that before! May become my new motto! I’d also steal some M&Ms if I were there! :-). Talya’s cuz, Cindy “Lu”
