Thanks, Tankshill. Today is a lot better. It gets really frustrating during the first week after treatment. My mouth gets so sore I can't eat, drink or at times even talk. And for me, the not talking is probably the worst.
But, it doesn't last forever and today, my mouth feels almost normal. Now, to tuck into that macaroni salad!
The dessert bar I made yesterday was a total bust, in my opinion. The recipe was as follows:
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
melt that and add 1 cup mini marshmallows
melt those in and add 6 cups rice crispies. Stir to coat and press into a greased 9x13 pan.
Well, what I got was a crumbling mess. A few of the "bars" held together but even those sort of burst apart when you bite into them. Right from the start, I thought there wasn't enough marshmallow. I'll have to look at the recipe for regular rice crispie squares and compare, but it seems to me for the regular ones, there's a lot more marshmallow.
Great job breaking in those new pans. 
Now kick their butts!!
