Heeeere comes Peter Cottontail...
Special Brownie Points if you get the reference the title makes by the end of this entry...
Late Nites @ Lydia's
So...I'm sitting at Lydia's house right now. We want to make special brownies (the mix has hemp in it...go figure), but there's no vegetable oil in the house...UPDATE: We're using butter!
And there was a bug in the 8x8 brownie tray. UPDATE: I got it out of the tray, and Lydia's now washing the tray with soap and scalding hot water.
UPDATE: We at first forgot to grease the pan and had to pour everything out and wash the pan and pour the mix back in!
UPDATE: There was a spoon left in the mix after the mixing of the special brownies. So...we're pouring the mix into the pan. We both look down, and there's a spoon in the pan...and we're both all wtf...Yeah, it's kinda like that...
Oh, and Lydia has really good ice cream from coldstone...but it's ubercoffee-ish...and it has oreo cookies in it. Someone's not gonna sleep tonight...someone who has to work at 8-o-clock in the morning...Coughlydiacough.
And the water is running out in the kitchen, for some reason. My typing of this reminded Lydia that the water is still running. She has left the room to tend to the ever-running faucet.
So...Lydia's about to put the brownies in the oven and we're talking about RENT and how the movie's about 2 hours long...and the brownies take 40 minutes to bake...And since they're both about the same amount of time, Lydia sets the timer for 2 hours and exclaims, "These brownies take 2 hours to bake, and that's how long RENT is! It works perfectly..." And, seeing as I'm the smart one here, I agree with her, and we go to watch RENT for 2 hours until Lydia realizes what happened and goes to change the timer. And then we laugh. And I could barely type this up because we were still laughing.
Okay...so we put the brownies in the oven and we're tree-decorating and watching RENT as the bake...and now they're done, perfectly baked and beautiful...and Lydia, being the patient child that she is, chose to turn the fresh-out-of-the oven pan over and shake the pan vigorously (sp), thinking it would come out nice and easily since she used rapeseed oil. And, lo and behold, the brownies came out in a blob...Special blob, anyone? Lydia just thought of saying "special blob, anyone?" at the same time that I did...It's like she has ESPN...
And we're watching RENT and we didn't realize how RENT deprived we've been...We're supporting the wonderful RENT-ness with the T-shirts we got when we saw the show in Philly...But, in case you didn't read my last entry, we're seeing RENT on BROADWAY on...NEW YEAR'S EVE!
Well, I'm sure you all wanted to know all of that...so, g'night, kids...
