Singin' in da rain

Is anyone else having trouble with Innovative cable? I guess it is a day to read a good book...

Was out early this morn...went off then came back on around 10:30ish..been on ever since here

Maybe the power is out at Innovative; mine has gone out 2X's so far today......

Powers out, and roof has leaks, cant go to the beach 🙁 but the laptop works great and my sistern is almost full. Woo-Hoo!!

According to Ric, it's raining like hell on the Northshore of STX and the power is out.

Our cistern is full the reserve water tank is full....we bleached our steps to stop the mold from growing...It smells like bleach around the house today.

Power is on, Choice TV is on....all is good...nice rainy day!

Lipstick Chick-STT

Dish network & broadband vi & wapa all working here 🙂
made a coffee cake while singing in the rain

Lincoln Logs for 2 hours with 3 year old grandson. I love to play!

Did Frank Llyod Wright invent Lincoln Logs?

FLW's son invented LLs.

We lost power up in the rain forest from about 9:30 last night until around 10:30 this morning... which proved to us that we are not as prepared as we thought we were! We did a LOT of shopping this morning while our road was still passable and are now sitting up here having a couple of cocktails and listening to the water run out of the cistern overflow.

Made brownies today (just the regular ones before anyone asks 🙂 ) first time ever for me 🙂 and now I feel sick - toooo much chocolate 🙂

I don't know what brand of brownie mix you used, but the Ghirardelli brownie mix sold at Cost U Less is the best!!!

yummy brownies for a rainy day

13 x whatever pan, greased
2 boxes brownie mix

1 box yellow cake mix in a bowl
add enough softened cream cheese to make it kind of gooey
add a heaping soup spoon of sour cream and mix in
(it should be a little softer than cookie dough when u r through)

mix up brownie mix gently
add a handful or so of chocolate chips

spread brownie mix in greased pan

dollop the cream cheese/cake mix stuff on top of brownie mixture.....not covering it...just dolloping it on

take a butter knife and swirl the cream cheese mixture into the brownie mix until it looks like a marble cake

bake about 18-20 minutes or until done on 350 degrees

cool and cut into nice squares

pile on a plate and dust with powdered sugar.

Shut your keyboard mouth Sis.........................I just gained 30 lbs with that delish sounding brownie/cake!!!!

Sounds like the ones I used to get at starbucs, I'd treat myself usually on a Saturday.................good caffine & sugar buzz for the mall rats & window gazers who'd come to the store & want to see the biggest diamond...........or want 14k - 30" gold chain thick enough to drag a bus & think they could purchase it for less that $100 bucs.............or tiny tots covered in Baskins Robbins.............pressing their sticky lil hands & faces on every inch of glass, and the friggin sprinkles dropping off & being ground into the carpet & all I do is smile. Never know, mom might just drop a couple grand in the place & it was my duty to help her - HA!

A hour later, I'm crashing from a sugar & caffine high, patients worn & i'm outta damn coffee..............crap it's only 11 AM & I'm friggin here til 9 PM...............aaaakkkKKKKKKK!

Some stateside memories are better than others.......................but the recipe for those YUMMY brownies were worth it!
Thanx Sis

That is the one I used - but added one extra egg yolk, special dark chocolate chips and extra chocolate syrup 🙂 🙂 🙂
