Movie Day At Home

I made a big batch of homemade Texas Trash (spicy chex mix; recipe below) and we just let whatever came on tv flow through us:  Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, St. Vincent, It's a Wonderful Life, and Hedwig and the Angry Inch. It was a good day. 

Texas Trash

6 cups corn Chex
6 cups rice Chex
4 cups wheat Chex
3 cups pretzel sticks (preferably broken in half, but not necessary)
2 1/2 cups peanuts
2 cups Cheerios
3/4 cup butter - melted
5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon seasoned salt
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 - 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Combine cereal, pretzels and peanuts in a large roasting pan.
Melt the butter, then add the spices to the butter. Mix well.
Drizzle the butter mixture over the dry ingredients, then toss to coat evenly - best if done by hand.

Bake for 1 hour, stirring thoroughly every 15 minutes. Enjoy while it's warm if you like, but allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.  Enjoy!
