Just Having fun :)

 

I am ridiculously awesome, and possibly glow-in-the-dark ;).  Just kidding, but I love those face-mask things... they're SO FUN :D

Oh, and I want to post a picture of the cake balls I made.  This time I actually had time to decorate them, and they were really fun to make, not to mention delicious :)

Temptation

  Tonight I made chocolate chip cookie-dough brownies with chocolate ganache- ooooooooh, the house smells sublime! I can't wait to try them tomorrow :) Although their ostensibly for a going-away party at the boys-and-girls club, I'm thinking not many will actually make it there :). They taste pretty amazing, but they're a bit too rich for casual consumption.  Honestly, next time I won't add the ganache, because as tasty as it is, it overpowers the already delicious chocolaty flavour.  I think what happened is the recipe was intended for use with Betty-Crocker mixes, and as famous as they are, they have nothing on Ghirardelli.  The brownies and cookies I used were so flavorful that they didn't need the extra chocolate- but all was not lost- they are delicious with a glass of milk, or hot with ice-cream.... Healthy, no? ;)

Mmmmmmmmmm.....chocolate :D

Cooks Illustrated recipe- Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mmm mm, swimming in chocolate- just the way I like it

Mail time

Yay for packages from home! She knows exactly what I like :D

And yes, I finally have my shoes back- after 3 months!

  Dinner tonight was yummy, but I ate so much that all I want to do is imitate a puddle.  That wouldn't be so bad, except that's all I've done today, and it's getting ridiculous.  I think I'll tune into the Aces game, and do something productive, like cleaning my poor neglected room :D
GO ACES!!!

Healthy, but yummy

I tried a new recipe today, helpfully posted by Clover White on her blog- Clover's Recipe Box.  It's for Oatmeal flaxseed rolls, and though they're really healthy, they're pretty delicious too- especially hot and buttery. :)  I did sub 2 cups of whole wheat flour for two of the white, mostly because we were almost out of white flour, and they turned out just fine.  Oh, and a warning- they are *really* filling, so you might want to plan on sharing them ;)

Mmm mmm, fresh, hot and crispy :)

Am I ADD?

Sarah's level of distraction while reading:
None- I love this book, I'm focused, and if you talk to me prepare to be ignored :)

Some- la-dee-da, I've got things on my mind... tangents... hmm, I wonder if...   It probably will take me awhile to finish this book.

A lot- either this book is boring, or I'm really tired- chances of having to re-read it because I remember very little are high.

Really cute guy in the room- chances are I've been re-reading the same bit for the last half-hour ;)

Tonight, I'm just tired, methinks it's time for hot chocolate and bedtime :)

Oh, and for those who are wondering, grandpa is up and walking around, and should be coming home tomorrow.  He's obviously feeling pretty good, because he's been joking around and teasing ppl :)
Thanks to everyone who has shown so much love and support over the last few days, we really appreciate it.
