Yesterday afternoon I got in the mood for Oatmeal cookies. What I really wanted was an Oatmeal- Peanut Butter cookie (healthily made) like I had eaten at a SparkFriend's house on Friday. Well, I went into the Kitchen to make cookies but did not have the right recipe and I really wanted peanut butter to be in my oatmeal cookie.
I spotted a package of brownie mix that really needed to be used up because it was old and I had fresher mixes in the house. I decided to make the Brownies. They were no fuss and were done in about 40 minutes, complete with putting them together. I ate two brownies right away!
What they tasted like was................ old. I had saved the package tooo long. I don't know what an old package mix tastes like in the States but on the very humid African Equator, well, if we keep things around too long they taste.... well. I can't even let you know other than OLD.
Now for my dilemma. Should I save them and eat them? If I frosted them would the frosting make them taste better? I really didn't want to waste the frosting. Should I give them to the lady who cleans house for me and maybe she or her kids would like them? It's not that they were tooo bad but I just knew that they weren't .... well, they were old tasting. They looked ok.... see the photo!
What should I do? What would YOU do?
Today's Positives:
1. After warning the cleaning lady that perhaps only her kids would like them, I gave all my brownies away today!
2. I've been on track with my eating today!
3. I will go for a walk outside today!
Thanks everyone who follows my blog.
There is nothing like sharing the joy of chocolate. At least no brownie got left behind and most of the time kids will each anything thats sweet. lol. Im glad you are on track and things are going so well for you! Still praying for you a lot!
