Annika Does the Dishes

We recently had a chat with Annika regarding important matters like contributing to the team, the cost of a college education, the nation’s unfunded entitlement liabilities, etc. As a result, Annika has begun doing chores around the house, including unloading the dishwasher. We hope to get her working in the yard next.

Puddle Stomping

Tuesday, 9. September 2008 21:23

We recently celebrated Jenelle’s birthday. Thank you to everyone who so kindly thought of her.  We had a picnic in a local park. Instead of a cake, Jenelle requested a Brownie Puddle.  As you can see from the picture below, this was no mere brownie — it was a circular celebration of chocolate, with little pools of ganache dotting its surface. With some whipped cream on top, it was very delicious, and very rich.  So rich, actually, that it was hard to eat more than one piece. But, the cookbook says that it freezes well, so we’re saving some puddle parts for another time. The next time you’re in town, ask for a slice of brownie puddle.
