Food and Chaos

A couple of things:

I found the following recipe on the Dutch Femka site. It's easy, and quite good:

Butterscotch Brownies

Oven 350 degrees
Makes 16 brownies

Ingredients:
5 tablespoons butter or marg.
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt the margarine in microwave, pour into mixing bowl and stir in brown sugar, vanilla and egg with a wooden spoon, until mixture looks smooth and glossy. Blend in the flour, baking powder, and salt until all of the ingredients are well combined. Scrape the batter into a 8 or 9" square baking pan. Bake for 25 mins (8") or 20 mins (9"). While warm, cut the brownies into squares.


At this precise moment, my wife and daughter are doing salvage/triage on my daughters bedroom, excavating years of things from corners, under bureaus, behind - oooh, i wondered where that went, thats my FAVORITE -- what is that, anyway? -- bookcases, and the like. You know how they say one test of a marriage is wallpapering a bathroom together? Three people in one destroyed bedroom works pretty well, too. Which is why I'm in here, now.

But with luck, tomorrow morning we do patching and sanding, and by mid-day, we paint !
