Autumn's Tasty Tuesdays

Autumn over at Living Out Loud has started a great new thing for us on Tuesdays called Tasty Tuesdays. It’s a great way to find new recipes to use and share some of our own!

Below is my favorite recipe for brownies (and who doesn’t like homemade brownies?) These brownies melt in your mouth and are perfectly moist!

The Best Brownies EVER

INGREDIENTS

· 1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons margarine, softened

· 2 cups white sugar

· 4 eggs

· 1/4 cup Hershey's chocolate sauce (any brand will do, but we prefer Hershey’s)

· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or for an elegant twist use raspberry extract instead!)

· 2 cups all-purpose flour

· 1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

· 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

· 1/2 teaspoon salt

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 15x10 inch baking pan.
• Combine the margarine and the sugar in a large mixing bowl; use an electric mixer to beat until light. Beat in the eggs, chocolate sauce and vanilla; mix well. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, walnuts, and salt in a large bowl. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture, mixing just until dry ingredients are incorporated. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
• Bake brownies in the preheated oven until the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Pour a nice cold glass of milk and enjoy!!

I don’t like nuts so I never add them but some of you might (which is why I put them on here just in case). Thanks Autumn for this great idea! I cant wait to see what everyone else has to offer too!

Don't you love the working class?! :)

One afternoon Suzie was working at the Front desk, when along comes one of her regular guests, Mr. Smith

"Good Afternoon, Mr. Smith, Welcome back!"
"Thanks Suzie. Good to be back"
"Here are the key's for your room, please sign the registration card, we have you in your regular suite."
"Hey, thanks for always looking out for me Suzie."
"No problem, Mr. Smith.
"HA HA you should name that suite after me, oh by the way can you leave a key for my secretary?"
"No problem, Mr. Smith."

So Mr. Smith disappears down the hall toward the elevator.

About 15 minutes later a very scandalously dress woman enters the lobby wearing a pair of cut off jean shorts with a neon pink tube top that barely fits her. Her two-toned hair is half pulled up in a pony tail. Her make-up is just as brightly colored as her tube top. She approaches the front desk with her spiky platinum high heels on clicking and clonking over the wooden floor, cracking her gum.

Suzie takes a deep breath and exhales to avoid laughing out loud at the sight before her.

"I'm Mary-Sue, Mr. Smith's secretary. I believe he left a key for me?"
"Oh yes ma'am here you go, its room 5281. You go..."
"I know how to get to the room, just give me the keys; I have other appointments to keep today, and you're throwing off my scheduale."

So about an hour to an hour and a half later, Suzie notices Mr. Smith leaving with his little travel toiletries bag out the side door with his hair all slicked back with gel. While his so called secretary leaves out the front door, about 15 minutes laterwith her hair all pulled up in a slopp bun/pony tail. As she is leaving she stops at the mirror in the lobby where ALL the guests can see her, fixes her tube top, and re applies her bright neon pink lip stick.

The next morning the housekeeping manager comes by the front desk to talk to Suzie.

"Hey Suzie", Says Linda
"Hey Linda, how are you?"
"Fine, uhhh hey listen, something ODD happened yesterday afteroon in the pool."
"Oh what happened?"
"Someone used the ladies shower, and left a few things in there."
"What's so ODD about that?"
"Well there was a USED refresh bottle in there and an empty box for toothpaste in the waste bin."

"Oh gross! I guess Mr. Smith's secretary wanted to clean up before she moved on to her next appointment"

Suzie looks at Linda and says:
"You've gotta love the working class......"
