Here is the secret part~ How to make pasta chips

1 package wonton wrappers

Olive oil flavored pam

Cut wonton wrappers in half forming a triangle. Spray cookie sheet generously with Pam. Lay wontons in single layer on cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 6 minutes. (It took 4 batches to cook the whole package. There was plenty to serve 6 with a few left over. They could be cooked ahead of time. I saved the leftovers in a plastic bag and they still were crisp 2 days later. Could probably be re-heated in oven, I wouldn't recommend a toaster oven.) The wontons can be deep fried instead if desired or you can use olive oil instead of the flavored pam, but who needs the extra calories?

So Off Track

What do you do when you have been out of town, sick, and have lost track of what day it is and what you should be doing? You catch up on blogs! Until you glance out the window because the noise of the garbage truck catches your attention. Oh! It's Wednesday, garbage day. So you jump up, gather the garbage, run it out to the can, and wheel the can out to the road, and grab the mail while you are out there. (Thankfully the truck comes on the other side of the street first.) While you are outside you realize it really is Wednesday and you have done no household tasks yet this week. You have a mountain of laundry and no groceries, not to mention a pile of dishes in the sink. You will go right in and start the laundry, get a grocery list together, and load the dishwasher. But some days just aren't meant for that so you sit back down at the computer and finish catching up on blogs. Oh, and pop a couple of those little Reese's pieces eggs to renew the energy you just spent getting the garbage out. Which, by the way, wasn't worth it- because when the woman of the house is out of town nobody cooks or cleans or even gets the mail so there really is not much garbage. Then you decide to update your own blog because, after all, you haven't done that all year and it is almost April! Now that is done I think I will catch up on Facebook! There is always tomorrow. (Kind of sounds like a "If you give a mouse a cookie" book)
