Probably My Only Recipe Post

I realize that I have deviated from the original purpose of this blog quite a bit, but I haven't bought any new shoes or traveled as of late, so you'll have to pardon me. Also, I rarely, scratch that, NEVER, post recipes...until today. To my roommate, my apologies, since she is the food blogger in our apartment, you know I'm not doing this out of malice. So here it is, my FIRST recipe post.

Slutty Brownies

(I found this recipe on stumbleupon, thought I should give credit where credit is due. Also, I copied most of the instructions...hopefully this doesn't qualify as plagiarism...did I mention I found this here?)

They're best served warm from the oven, with good quality vanilla ice cream.

They take about 45mins to make, including baking time. 

You will need... 

1 Box of cookie mix, 

1 Box of brownie mix (I used Ghirardelli mix instead, YUMM), 

2 Eggs,

2 Packs of Oreos 

Some oil 

& your favourite ice-cream (optional)

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Line a baking tray with grease proof paper.

Follow the instructions on the cookie mix box & stir furiously until you have gooey cookie dough, I usually add a little extra water and oil to what they suggest, it just keeps it moist as you'll be baking it for longer than suggested. An extra teaspoon of each is just right. 

Squidge (technical term) the cookie dough into a lined baking tray, until it covers the bottom. 

Cover this layer with your Oreos. Don't use the broken ones, eat them as you go. This recipe is too glorious to use substandard Oreos. 

Mix up your brownie batter. Just stick to the recipe on the box for this one.

& pour over your Oreos.

Bake for 30mins.

Remove from the oven and leave to cool. 

When its still a little bit warm, use the paper to lift your creation out of the tray and rest it on a chopping board. 

Use a large, sharp knife to cut it into manageable chunks, sections, slabs... depending on how many calories you think you can handle in one sitting. 

Drop onto a plate and scoop on your ice cream.

Plinko Addiction: Mild

For those who suffer from mild addictions, my sympathies. After spending all my laundry money on a game of Plinko, I think I can honestly say that I have a problem, well, various problems considering not having clean clothes is definitely an issue. More on this topic later...

Now, to the good stuff. Sometimes days are just good. Sure I went to work today and had a to-do list a mile long, but I like crossing things off to-do lists so...it was kind of a win. And it helped that I woke up to this video in my inbox, how can you be in a bad mood when you see a little half-asian baby taking his first steps? I love my little Logan. And yes, I've watched this like 20 times in the last 12 hours.
