PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

43 Ideas for Birthday 43: Nutella

Turns out that today is World Nutella Day. (I know, right? I had no idea either!)

In honor of the celebration, I decided to spend the evening making up these three ingredient brownies by The Pioneer Woman. My Attic smelled so delicious for hours, but I am still finding (and licking) off spots of Nutella from my fore-arms. It took almost 2 complete jars (the smaller ones) to make these. I hope my office-mates think they were worth it. I thought it would be rude to cut into a full pan before I took them to the office.

Three-Ingredient Brownies

Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the pan
2 1/2 cups chocolate-hazelnut spread, such as Nutella
1 heaping cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; spray a 9-by-13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Stir together the chocolate-hazelnut spread, flour and eggs in a medium bowl. Pour into the prepared pan and spread the mixture to the edges.

Bake until the surface looks set and slightly crisp, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut into squares and enjoy!
