Memorial Day

We didn't really have anything planned for Memorial Day. We just thought we would take a day to relax from the stresses of school and work. Well, when we woke up, we changed our mind a little.
We decided to go to Shelby Farms, and take our bikes. They have paved trails that you can ride your bikes on that are really easy rides. We decided to go around one that went around a little lake. It was a gorgeous day, and it felt so nice to get out and release some energy.
After a couple hours, we decided to go home. On the way, I suddenly had a craving for chocolate clusters. I've only eaten them a handful of times, but for some reason, once they entered my mind, it wouldn't leave. So we decided to stop by the store, and pick up supplies to make our own. Never done it before, and had no idea what I was doing. We bought dark and butterscotch chocolate, walnuts, macadamia nuts, almonds, craisins, raisins and pretzels. Once we got home, we melted the chocolate chips in 3 batched. We each had our own bowl to add whatever combination we wanted, and then just spooned them onto foil. It was absolutely amazing. Turned out pretty good for a spur of the moment idea and not knowing what i was doing. Definitely making them again.
