I tried to make brownies tonight, becuase I have been craving bread and carbs and suger ALL DAY and I needed something.  Well, not need...more of a desperate want.  Anyway.  I had a brownie mix.  The "family size" kind.  I discovered last year that you can make the family size brownie mix in a smaller pan, which gives you delightfully thick ( Read more... )

I was out shopping and running errands, and got hungry, and the only choices nearby were McDonalds or Burger King.  I chose the latter in hopes that they'd have Pepsi over Coke, since I know McDonalds has Coke.  Alas, I was disappointed.  But oh well.  I ordered a small fries and a small drink.  The clerk asked me some question about size and I ( Read more... )

Heidi is back from Chile.  Yay!  A group of us met up at Green Mill for lunch(/brunch for a couple of us).  Twas fun.  I have pictures, but as usual, they have to wait until I'm at work.  Heidi has menus planned for the fall already.  This is good, as the only cookbook I own is purely desserts.  And then angevin2 posted a link to this brownie recipe.  We ( Read more... )

I think I liked my job better this summer, even if it was insanely busy and stressful and known as "Dell Hell."  Now, all I do is come here and sit.  Today all I've done is check to see if Charles was rebooting.  Woo...  Last week was exciting, becuase I got to help fix a phoneline.  I know I should appreciate getting paid for sitting in front of a ( Read more... )
