finally, something i can eat!

i have had a series of bad baking lately.

i was baking brownies on sunday night when the power went out 20 minutes in on a 45 minute bake.
power came back on 2 1/2 hours later. finished baking the brownies to no avail. the middle was soup. what a waste!

made cupcakes monday night, i am persistant, but i was short 1 egg, so i had to use egg beaters instead. they were not good. dog wouldn't even eat them. threw them out. what a tragedy!!

so tonight, i pull out some crescent rolls and the nutella and the third time is the charm. the power stayed on the rolls stuffed with nutella came out perfectly. life is good again!!!

God's firework show last night.

wow, the lightning last night was amazing. we lost power for a couple of hours. so i just sat on the couch and watched the show out the window. it looked like there were several very close lightning strikes. but nothing has been fried electronically, so i'm thankful for that.

a guy's car alarm kept going off after every lightning strike. the dog kept growling every time the thunder shook the windows. the storm was fierce. i was in the middle of baking some brownies when the power went out. needless to say, they were a complete lost. i tried to continue baking them 2 hours later when we got power back and it was no good. they were goopy in the center and spongy on the edges. so i tossed them.

my should feels amazing. the cortizone shot into the tendon worked wonders. i slept so good. i feel rested and revived. i've been cleaning, walking the dog, checking out the storm damage.

i think today is going to be a good day. and i really need one of those.
thank you God for the free firework show last night.
