Never Give Up....

Although I really wanted to after losing what I considered a Pulitzer Prize winning blog that disappeared into thin air. It was obviously me but I am just warning you, Sistas...it could happen to you and it doesn't make for a happy camper or cooker. Anyway, I've moved on and I did make the Brownie Buttons and quite frankly, I thought they were really good (and not just because that was the recipe I chose :<). I, like Holly, couldn't believe the portion so I doubled it and it still only made 18. I used about two heaping teaspoons per muffin which was probably the equivalent of a tablespoon in my mini muffin pan. The orange zest really made the difference, I thought. Also, I froze mine before I dipped them and then while still frozen, I double dipped them in the white chocolate. It made them extra good. I would take them to a luncheon...they were very easy and something a little different. I haven't done any of the other recipes yet, though. I hope everyone of my sistas is having fun either together in Austin or in Palm Springs. Thomas and I are having a grand time here in the ole Fort. Maybe tomorrow during nap time, I will peruse the cookbook and see what recipe I'd like to tackle next. Hugs to all, MK Here is a pic of the volcano eruption and one of the giant tortoises at the Charles Darwin Research Center from our trip.
