Made microwave mug brownies. Scooped ice cream on top. Heaven.

I looked at a number of microwave mug recipes, and I can't go and buy the ingredients or I'd be lost. But - glad to hear that the brownies were heaven. I'll enjoy vicariously. :)

The one I made was 4 Tbsp flour, 4 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa. Pinch of salt, dash of vanilla. 2 Tbsp water, 2 Tbsp vegetable oil. Give it a good stir and micro for one minute.

My husband didn't think we had all the ingredients, and I was like "um, hello? I'm a baker now, remember? OF COURSE we have the ingredients!" :)

I once made microwave brownie, and it was not good at all. I'll try your recipe one day since you said it turned out good. :-)

Lola, it's definitely nothing like a "real" brownie, but it fits the bill to solve a chocolate craving without having a whole tray of brownies in the house.

ETA: I am super happy today because I got four new movies AND both seasons of BBC Sherlock on BluRay today after trading in 140 movies.

I hit something there if anyone gets a private message-oops!:o
I made a dozen chewy oatmeal raisin coconut cookies today--mmmmm

I've got a solution to a whole tray of brownies in the house...

Attachment 45483

Prolly 3½-4½ yrs old.

Number 70 73 for ol Popdigr;

7 point rack;

Dressed out exactly 207 lbs.

Double-lung-far shoulder pass through shot at 21 yards, the deer ran about 20 yards, and went back to eating...Having just turned 71, Popdigr's still got it!

I think this one will be called "Ol' Triple Seven", "777" (sevensevenseven), or maybe "The Good Luck Buck"?

Wow. I have purchased two (2) movies in my lifetime. "Lonesome Dove" on VHS (still the greatest thing ever shown on broadcast tv, imho) and "Dances With Wolves".

Not counting porn, of course.;)

For the record, only 10 of those were mine. The other 130 belonged to my husband's in laws. They brought their entire movie collection down because they only watch movies once, and thought we might want some of them. (A: no.)

I am baffled that they do not seem to have taken advantage of the Netflix account we got them a few years back.

I'm going to assume that this is someone married into your husband's family, and not a fancy way of naming your own parents. :) My dad's the same way. Used to rent movies from the box stores, but ever since they went under he just buys whatever he wants to watch. I have tried to talk him into using Netflix, but he's an old dog who refuses to learn new tricks.

D'OH! I meant to say my husband's parents -- MY in-laws. Must've gotten distracted while typing. OOOOH, shiny...

Yesterday, my G-son and I "planted" 4x4 PT posts around his back yard for a new fence.
Today, the rails went on.

We finished the posts by mid-afternoon yesterday, and so started
laying the new white vinyl (Allure) flooring in his kitchen.
Today, the final panel when down. :cheerldr:

When we started the flooring, we had to take up the carpeting the previous owners had installed.
We were astounded that they had installed the carpeting wall to wall in an empty kitchen room.
Then, they installed all the new cabinets, dishwasher, stove, and frig on top of the carpet.

Of course, everyone know you replace your kitchen cabinetry
much more often than you change your kitchen carpet ! :thepain:

Popdigr went to the doc yesterday...just a check-up, everything's cool...and he got weighed. He sets our bathroom scale by what the doc's scale says.

I told you that, to tell you this:

By the new 'correct setting', I'm down to 225lbs! ~Two years ago, I was 306!!!!

Yay diebeetus!
