All I can remember is when I was in junior high after my mom went back to work and I was home alone before Ashley got home. I would put a frozen bean burrito in the microwave covered in mozzarella cheese and nuke the crap out of it so the edges of the cheese were crusty and kind of burnt. Then I would plop my fat, burrito-eating ass down on the couch and watch Swan's Crossing.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558107259045119307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8801568661427475473.post-17918218072972375982010-06-02T08:10:09.486-04:002010-06-02T08:10:09.486-04:00I forget now - I just hurt myself laughing at John...I forget now - I just hurt myself laughing at John's salted apples!<br /><br />Wait, I have a vague memory of Ellio's frozen cheese pizza rectangles cooked in the toaster oven.
