Keep a watch on Rick.
, what I'd call a happy medium between fudge type and cake type brownies. And the recipe calls for almond extract, instead of vanilla --which took it up a few notches, into fantastic. I came across that recipe at cherryman dot com, in the recipe section, in desserts. 
I was given a whole library of books by the inheritors of a German lady professor who had died, in all about 500 books or more. There were quite a few books that were of no interest to me so I gave those away to two different libraries. About 1/3 were in German and they were books on all kinds of different subjects. There were collections of famous German poets and translations from English language writers such as Shakespeare and William Faulkner, none of which I had ever read. Also a bunch of German classics that I never got around to reading. There were also popular modern writers but after reading one or two decided they were not my cup of tea and I gave the rest of them away. The English language books were everything from Jane Austin to travels in the Orient and Mark Twain. So I am working my way through all those books that i wish I had been given 20 years ago. I read the Smithsonian and Scientific American, I like science fiction (Heinlein and Asimov are my favorites but as both them have passed there will be no new books of theirs although there are a few of them I have not yet read) and fantasy books, books that are set on different planets or in different times and historical novels. I am also working my way through American and English classics, I have read almost all of Michener's books. So yes, I think my reading is rather eclectic and I hope I will be able to read all these books before I fade into the sunset although there is a good chance that I will be around for another 20 years.

Rick seems to be doing better again. He was doing pretty well, then we had that cold weather, rain and snow, etc. and his sinuses went crazy. It doesn't help with the dusty environment that he works in. The man lives on Advil Cold and Sinus. Yesterday, he was outside most of the afternoon and he said he could tell that his sinuses were loosening up again. This morning, he's not too bad. Thanks!
I hope you're on the mend soon.
I thought I had my allergy acting up.. ended up with asthmatic bronchitis and pneumonia...
I really thought it was allergies causing a sinus infection, which was causing a cough.. nope... Went to the doctor's yesterday; came out will an armful of prescriptions...
As I learned, a low grade fever, for over 3 days is not a good thing..
I have another friend who is going through the same thing, right now..
Thank You..

I hope you're feeling better this morning!
i'll be baking today, so the warmth from the oven will be enough until at least this evening.
I loved Murder She wrote as well.today i've made a phone call. and don't have the wood stove going -- for the first day so far this spring!
i'll wash the dishes, have already scooped the litter boxes, and then get going on making those Cherry Brown Butter Bars.
this evening i'll either watch some tv (i've started re-watching the series Murder, She Wrote...will watch the full series over time), or play some computer games and continue with a jigsaw puzzle.

I turned the heat off in the house over the weekend and didn't bother to turn it back on. It's about time! It's still getting chilly here at night, but the electric blanket works well at keeping the chill off while we're sleeping.

Wowza, you are so organized!
). two containers of beanless chili, and two pounds of butter were moved to the fridge to thaw. i also separated the rest of the maraschino cherries into groups (with juice) for the last three recipes i need to bake, to finish them up. and i have the load of laundry i started in the wee hours of this morning, in the dryer now. i also made a phone call, looking into something. , a bunch of bananas at $1.25, a net bag of clementines (a dozen) for $2.75, 5 small cantaloupes at 50 cents (for them all) -- which i gifted 3 of them and have two for myself, a quart of tomatoes (two lovely ripe large ones) for $2.25 -- tomato and mayo sandwiches , 8 boxes of Malt O Meal Oat Blenders cereal (generic version of Honey Bunches of Oats) at $1 per box, and one case (of 6, 12 ounce containers) Heluva Good Buttermilk Ranch Dip for $4.
