The other
week I banged on (a lot) about the stupid Bachelor and his wrong decision. I
yelled, I screamed and still he sent the lovely Ali home (anyone would think he
couldn't hear me!). Last week
was the final rose ceremony and the reunion episode and I STILL haven't watched either of them! I didn't even know who he chose for 24 hours... I
didn't care
anymore. When he broke Ali's heart he lost my respect.
Now, I have been told that perhaps I was getting just a little bit too emotionally involved in 'The Bachelor'; perhaps even more than horse hair girl or short dress weirdo (my nicknames for some of the girls in the show). I disagree; it's perfectly normal to cancel plans, refuse to answer the phone, yell at your husband if he tries to talk to you and talk incessantly about it for the next week... isn't it?
I know (or at least I hope so) I'm not the only person who gets obsessed with different shows; in particular reality shows. Many Aussies will recall the bum dance from Big Brother series 1 and the dancing doona from series 2. Who could forget the girl band formed from 'Pop Stars' (whose name I cannot remember but let's call them 'Sophie Monk and her moderately talented friends') and the larger girl who won Australian Idol but has never been heard of since (or maybe I have just showed how easy it is to forget!).
Reality shows tend to create a lot of hype... that quickly dies when it's season is over. Have you ever heard of anyone watching re-runs of X-factor 5 years later? I hope not!

The
recipe calls for a serve of Marshmallows. Don't be frightened! These are
easy to make and you don't have to wait for them to set as they will be melted
anyway.
SALTED HONEY RICE KRISPIE TREATS
(adapted from www.raspberricupcakes.com)
INGREDIENTS
1 serve Marshmallow
3 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
1/3 Cup Honey
1 teaspoon Salt
6 cups rice bubbles
INSTRUCTIONS
Melt Marshmallows, Coconut oil, Honey and salt in a large saucepan over a low heat.
Once completely melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the rice bubbles 1 cup at a time.
Stir until all the rice bubbles as coated in the Marshmallow mixture.
Spread into a lined tin and set in the fridge.
The choice of tin will depend on the thickness of the pieces. I use 1/2 a backing tray.
