Wait..

I might be a Blue Morpho Butterfly.

Brownies and Thoughts..

I've always loved to cook and bake, and now that I have a kitchen worth cooking in, I've been concocting as much as I can. This is one of my favorites [Jared's too] and it so easy, well, a cave man [with a stove and some basic kitchen utensils] could do it.

Short of going to the store and buying their already baked brownies, this is the easiest recipe I've found. It doesn't use eggs or oil, just instant chocolate pudding mix, devil's food cake mix, and chocolate chips [I use semi-sweet, but you could probably use whatever you want].

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Make the pudding mix as it says on the box. [Typically, it calls for two cups of milk and a minute or two of whisking.]

Then, stir your cake mix into the pudding.

Finally, stir in your chocolate chips.

Then bake the sucker in a greased jelly-roll pan for 30-35 minutes and you have some yummy brownies to feed your friends and family with. Mmm.

Cooking has always been equated with fun and love in my mind. My mom always cooked really amazing meals nearly every night of the week, and I guess I've been trying to live up to that. I'm not as good at cooking dinners and meals, but I'm working on my skills. I have big shoes to fill, and I know I'll never live up to them.. But I'd at least like to be able to be proud of myself.

And I'm getting there.

But for now, back to practicing. I've got brownies in the oven. :]]

Sweetly,

L.

I am..

For one of my art classes I was asked to make a list of misconceptions about me and then a corresponding list that states qualities that I actually possess. This is in preparation for our final project: a self-portrait. This project as a whole has given me pause and made me think a lot about who I really am.

In a nutshell, I'm a Copperband Butterflyfish.
