Running errands around town, and a new tasty application of Coconut Marshmallows

Saturday morning was spent running errands around town – literally. I wanted to get some exercise and fresh air but I wanted to get a bunch of things done before the Sheldons arrived in the early afternoon. So, I put on my running clothes, laced up my shoes, and headed off. First I ran up the Nature Trail to the train station to pick up Brian’s car and then drove it home. Then I ran to the cheese shop to pick up snacks, walked over to the bakery at the other end of the Tannery, then walked over to the Richdale to pick up milk before walking home. I figure I got in at least 3 miles, and while it wasn’t a hard “workout” it was better than not jogging.

We took a short nap before tidying up the house and cooking and cleaning up. I made two batches of Rice Krispy treats for the choir concert; one with mini marshmallows and one with toasted coconut marshmallows. The coconut ones were crispier, but really tasty! Maybe a half regular/half coconut batch would be the perfect flavor and consistency. I even made a batch of scones (thank you Bisquick and the internet!) that came out of the oven just as the Sheldons arrived. Good timing! Given the right ingredients, I have finally found a set of snacks I can make in less than an hour, a heretofor elusive entity.
