So, the other night while browsing on Facebook I came across a recipe. It required three things: refrigerated cookie dough, brownie mix, and Reece's Peanut Butter cups. I didn't have any of those things on hand. (Please - brownie mix? refrigerated cookie dough? Pfft...that stuff's for amateurs. At least that's why I like to think I didn't have that stuff on hand.) Anyway, I didn't feel like going to the grocery store, but I know how Tim works and "casually" mentioned said recipe to Tim who, as I predicted, was right on board. Perfect! He can go to the grocery store for me...
...it didn't quite work out that way. About 10 minutes later I found myself at the grocery store with Tim--at least I wasn't there by myself, we were partners in crime--standing in the aisle, asking ourselves "Why are we here?" as we found our arms full of....well, junk. So to make ourselves feel better we went to the fruit and vegetable section and impulse bought grapes (I realize the way to truly make myself feel better would have been to put the junk away. But I didn't).

For the record, looking at fruits and vegetables and buying grapes didn't make me feel any less guilty. I finally pulled out the grapes today and Tim had forgotten about them, which tells you about his feelings on the subject.

Anyway, the recipe took about 10 minutes to assemble. (How could it take any more time, really?? - put cookie dough at the bottom of a muffin tin, put a Reece's cup on top of said dough, and then pour brownie mix on that whole mess. Cook it for 20 minutes. How much easier does it get?) It was described as "heaven" on Facebook. I describe it as a cavity. The result? Because I'm sure you're all so curious...it was good. Totally not worth the money we spent on grapes, though. In retrospect, it's not something I needed and was not as grand as Facebook made out to be (shocker, I know). Which is why I chalk it up to a poor life decision. But hey, I get to cross a recipe off my list! Although technically my challenge doesn't start until the 26th...and I'm not even sure that the above thing constitutes a real recipe considering I didn't really do anything other than assembly. The jury is still out on that.
Anyway, that's all for now. Later, friends! (Or whoever reads this. Hi, mom!)
