Five on Friday - April 24, 2015

Welcome Friday -- I was beginning to think you'd never get here!  I've had an eye thing going on this week (ulcerated cornea) and it's made the days go by a lot little slower than normal.  It's on the mend now and I'm so grateful to be seeing things once again.  Plus it didn't help that when I woke up on Thursday, I thought it was Friday.  Ever had one of those?!?

Well, now that it IS Friday, let me share my five with you today.

1.  Seatbelt Cutter Window Breaker Emergency Escape Tool
On my way home from work Monday evening, I saw the most horrible traffic accident.  An RV hauling a trailer with a van on it had a blowout and crashed into a pole, causing the entire rig to catch on fire.  The scene was one of total devastation and unfortunately both the driver and his passenger lost their lives.  It reminded me (again) that I had never purchased the Seatbelt Cutter Window Breaker Emergency Escape Tool.  This tool is under $10 and could potentially save your life.  Ordering one for myself this week!  Do you have one in your car?

2. National Pigs in a Blanket Day

On a MUCH lighter note, guess what day today is?!?  It's National Pigs in a Blanket Day!!  I love these things and haven't made them in, well -- so long I can't really remember.  So this weekend guess what I'm fixing -- good old pigs in a blanket.  If you need a refresher on how to do it, here you go.  

Ingredients

8 hot dogs

4 slices American cheese, each cut into 6 strips

1 8-ounce can Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

Heat oven to 375. Slit hot dogs to within 1/2 inch of ends; insert 3 strips of cheese into each slit.

Separate dough into triangles. Wrap dough triangle around each hot dog. Place on ungreased cookie sheet, cheese side up.

Bake at 375 for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

3.  The Age of Adaline Movie

Another movie going on my list of ones I want to see -- The Age of Adaline.  The story line goes like this:  "After miraculously remaining 29 years old for almost eight decades, Adaline Bowman has lived a solitary existence, never allowing herself to get close to anyone who might reveal her secret. But a chance encounter with charismatic philanthropist Ellis Jones reignites her passion for life and romance. When a weekend with his parents threatens to uncover the truth, Adaline makes a decision that will change her life forever."  The beautiful Blake Lively plays Adaline.

4.  Nestle Delightfulls Filled Baking Morsels
One of my new blogging friends, Michelle, over at Grammie Time had a recipe for Sunflower Oatmeal Chocolate Morsel Cookies. They sound out-of-this-world delicious! One of the ingredients is Nestle Delightfulls Filled Baking Morsels with Caramel Filling.  Where have I been?!?  I'd not heard of these before.  I really need to get out more.  Nestle has other flavors too ~ Dark Chocolate Morsels with Cherry Flavored Filling, Dark Chocolate Morsels with Mint Filling, Milk Chocolate Morsels with Peanut Butter Filling.

5.  Words To Live By

Enjoy your weekend!  I'm off tonight to do a little volunteer thing with my friends Sherri and Tracy.  We're going to be "roamers" at Washington University's Spring WILD party.  Sounds interesting, doesn't it!  I'll try to get pictures to share on my blog Monday.
