Brownies and Love



So Today I apparently proclaimed it International Brownie day. I made enough Brownies to feed an entire block. Yields 24 my ass. So now I don't know what to do with them all it's so ridiculous in a yummy chocolate way. So come on down and have a brownie!



I've been thinking recently about love and falling in love. It's been quite awhile since I have had a full blown relationship. Not really for lack of trying but more for lack of focus. My entire goal was to get here and as odd as it sounds I feel like I've left something in the ways of love behind. I know not to be silly, none of the men I dated in S.D wanted a relationship and I wasn't in love with any of them. At least not in the way that I ultimately want to experience love. It's strange, I'm trying to work out in my head when I became so cynical about romance, not that I was a little girl who dreamed of her wedding day, but I still loved Disney romance stories. When did I choose to look at love and say that's a sweet thought and all but not it's not going to happen. When did I become so full of responsibility and self-made duties that I ignored my deeply romantic side? Maybe in NYC I can search for these answers, find my heart I guess you could say. Right now, I would say that that portion of my life is missing.

Cookie for me Cookie for you

These were supposed to be Pinwheel cookies, I used a recipe from 1976. Betty must have been diabetic or a heavy smoker cause the cookies taste like biscuits. 

 



Few things relax me more than cooking and baking. I know it's all anti feminist of me but I love it. My Dad would say that my talent for it comes from my great grandmother. I wish I had the guts to actually try being a sous-chef or something. One of my big things is collecting vintage recipe books. I haven't been able to find one of those Betty Crocker '70's recipe card boxes, I would totally horde that. There a website I found once dedicated to those old cards, that bitch probably bought them all. They're pretty funny.

Making Chocolate Pinwheel biscuits help me memorize lines...
