Chex Mix

I wish you were still here so we could talk about cooking and baking.

I think it's funny, because most of my life I was made to believe that Chex Mix just wasn't good unless there were all kinds of other things in there (nuts.  pretzels.  some people thought Cheerios belonged in Chex Mix.  those little bagel chip things...)... and you, being the kitchen/snack/appetizer aficionado that you were, I thought you belonged to the "more is more" demographic when it came to Chex Mix.

I only learned like 2 years ago (after I proclaimed my minimalist view on the stuff --pretzels and chex only--and thought for sure you'd scoff me for not putting at least nuts in, haha) that you'd actually be fine with the barebones: JUST CHEX.  "OH NO, Honey," you said "I really only like it for the CHEX!" *insert a big smile, and you pulling your hand out of the bag and popping some in your mouth*

So I made some tonight, since I'm going to Charlotte next weekend.  This is the first time I didn't even put pretzels in.  If you were still here, I would save you a bag and take it to dad's work to bring home to you.  Or maybe you'd still have the flower shop, I'd have been happy to drop some off.
