Yum and yawn

Do you know what happens when instead of coming home after Sterling Singers and going to bed you make delicious brownies instead?

Apparently, you don't get to sleep until after midnight, and since lessons start at 8:30 in the morning and your husband has to be to work by 8:00 you get up at 6:30 and then you know what?

You're tired.

Very, very tired.

But you have delicious brownies for breakfast.

Delicious brownie recipe: Start with a brownie mix, any brownie mix (we used Betty Crocker). Melt 2 TBS butter (we actually used real butter this time) in a skillet, add a handful or so of pecans, cook for a short (very short...I mean it!) time then add brown sugar. I don't know how much, it depends on how sweet you want your pecans. Saute' this mixture for just a minute or so. Remove from heat. Mix brownies. Top with pecans. Bake as directed. While brownies are baking, melt 1 pkg caramels with 1/4 cup milk over med low heat. When brownies are baked, drizzle caramel over the top. Let cool for a little while.

There is drool running down my chin. Unfortunately, sitting here reading the recipe is as close to those brownies as I'm ever going to get.
