The college crowd is back this weekend….you know what that means….cooking around the clock. I love to use my Slow Cooker for as many meals as I can. I was on Pinterest and found this YUMMY recipe. It looks like a real crowd pleaser. Now all I need to do is add ice cream!!! Bon Appetit!!!!
- 1 box fudge brownie mix
- 2/3 cup oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup hot water
- 1 (12 ounce jar) hot fudge sauce
- Grease a large slow cooker very liberally with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, oil, 1/4 cup water, and eggs until combined. Pour into the prepared slow cooker.
- Whisk together the hot fudge sauce and hot water. (Feel free to use the same bowl you mixed the brownie mix in without cleaning it out). Pour over the brownie batter. Top with the lid and cook on HIGH for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- The brownies will be gooey in the center at the end of cooking (though the edges should be fully set). Scoop out and serve with a spoon and top with ice cream.
in my wardrobe. I really cannot think of anything…I have a
bunch of outfit making tops and I have all the decorated jeans
(tuxedo stripe, rough hem, etc). Both of these will go
strong for the Spring season. However, I would love
a couple of pairs of statement earrings to bring my clothes
to the next level. Here are some of my favorites!! Happy
Shopping!!!
Today’s Book Club Monday choice is Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney. This book has been getting so much positive feedback. It is one of Vogue’s best books of 2017. Here is the story:
Frances is a cool-headed and darkly observant young woman, vaguely pursuing a career in writing while studying in Dublin. Her best friend and comrade-in-arms is the beautiful and endlessly self-possessed Bobbi. At a local poetry performance one night, Frances and Bobbi catch the eye of Melissa, a well-known photographer, and as the girls are then gradually drawn into Melissa’s world, Frances is reluctantly impressed by the older woman’s sophisticated home and tall, handsome husband, Nick. However amusing and ironic Frances and Nick’s flirtation seems at first, it gives way to a strange intimacy, and Frances’s friendship with Bobbi begins to fracture. As Frances tries to keep her life in check, her relationships increasingly resist her control: with Nick, with her difficult and unhappy father, and finally, terribly, with Bobbi.
Desperate to reconcile her inner life to the desires and vulnerabilities of her body, Frances’s intellectual certainties begin to yield to something new: a painful and disorienting way of living from moment to moment. Written with gem-like precision and marked by a sly sense of humor, Conversations with Friends is wonderfully alive to the pleasures and dangers of youth, and the messy edges of female friendship. – Amazon.com

I finally tried the Boozy Bruch at Beauty and Essex. I have been reading about it for a while. I have sent people there but never tried it myself. And I was soooooooo impressed. The food was great, the champagne flowing AND THEN the upstairs turned into a disco. Everyone finished eating and went upstairs. Beauty and Essex is the uber cool restaurant that you enter through a pawn shop on the lower east side. The scene is totally cool with bouncers, and glamour and dramatic lighting!!! I highly recommend it. Bon Weekend!!!!
