VGNO- I'll give it a go

Good evening, I went and grabbed me a badge From Ann over at Ann Again




Now Bare(not no stripping) with me, I may need me a drink to do this right?
So I'll keep it simple, Rum and Diet Coke, since it's evening and Hubbie did the shopping for supplies, it's Caffeine Free Diet Coke with Rum measurements may vary as the evening goes on.

I also baked... okay really the baking is for the people that have volunteer to help us replace our roof. I made Brownies for a crowd, it came out of a cookbook I got as a wedding shower gift and the cover is gone but the recipes are awesome! It was a fund raiser kind of cookbook, people submit and they make a book and sell it. I'm so glad my aunt bought it! I don't care if it was part of her gift closet. :)
(read turn out every single time!)
Brownies for a Crowd: the page is very messy! so you know I use it a lot
1 1/2 cup flour
1tspsalt
2cups sugar
8TBSP cocoa
4 Eggs
1Cup oil or 2 squares of butter (it's a Canadian thing margarine and butter come in squares vs US sticks, 1/2 cup size)
2TSP vanilla
1/4 cup water
(and if you like it) 1/2 cup walnuts.

Grease and flour 11X15 pan, mix dray ingredients together add liquid;Mix well. Bake 350F for 30minutes.

see the pics even dated!
I also iced them...you can scrape that butter cream icing off if your watching your portions of stuffs, and then the brownies wont count right? Last time I made these I used Peanut Butter Icing, you can't mess these up unless you like use too much oil I guess? Sometimes the easiest recipes work the best you know?

I also baked some ginger snaps, and that recipe is already on the blog here..(I'll have to link that up when I find it again, it's super easy too)

Music, it's quiet here, clicking away at my computer while I wait for my Family to arrive. My SIL will of course join me in a drinky-poo or few and there will be pizza eventually, she's my girls night out I guess, but I have t wait for her to get here and put her kids to bed.




Now question for this first time VGNO-er is there a them for discussion or do we just sit at our computers/laptops/internet able phones and get plastered and eat? or is everything suspose to be virtual? cause I'm almost toast here and I've only had 2 Rum and Coke and I'm not sure if that guest bed will ever get made. If I'm doing this wrong can you all just let me know?I can take being told I'm wrong, or just sit and point and laugh that works too. Thanks! for putting up with me :)
