auntiemeesh: (coffee)
While there is nothing I can do for the coffee urges at the moment, I'm conducting a chocolate-based dessert experiment.

I have a brownie mix packet, but no eggs, and my oven doesn't currently work. I have, however, a crockpot. I have also heard (from a dad whose child was allergic to eggs) that you can substitute applesauce for eggs in cake-like recipes. So, I've mixed up the brownies, added an extra bit of applesauce for moisture so they don't dry out, and thrown the whole mess into the crockpot. I'm now letting it cook for a few hours and I'll soon know whether this experiment was worthwhile or not.

In the meantime I'll continue having choco-flavored fantasies. I also offer you a poll.

[Poll #762154]

a poll!

My vocabulary is expanding since I've moved up here to northern New Hampshire. I'm going to a Christmas party next weekend and we're doing a Yankee Swap. What the heck is that? I had to ask. Something like a Chinese Auction? Everyone in the room looked at me blankly. A what? they said.

In another instance, today as I was leaving the cafeteria (I have an early break so I grabbed a bite of breakfast), I saw the lunchlady put up the menu board for today. At the top of the board was listed: Chinese Pie w/salad. What is Chinese pie, I asked her, all curious about this new item I'd never heard of before. Shephard's pie, she answered. Oh, okay. I know what that is.

We speak the same language, but sometimes we're barely able to understand one another. So, it's time for a poll.

Today is a free day. As long as I get some laundry done at some point, I can do whatever my little heart desires. The problem is, my little heart desires to do several mutually exclusive things simultaneously. Therefore I am turning to you, my friends, to help me out of this quandary with a poll.

[Poll #498580]

While you decide, I'm going to go get breakfast and start my laundry.
