Hi Ruth!

You'll want to protect it over here from the cat.. I can just see the silly
animal deciding to cuddle up on it :(

Sounds that way :)

Me neither :)

>> Yes, that would be the first place I'd look..

The wegmans in Binghamton is pretty big compared to most of the food stores.. I
still haven't had time to look for it there though.  Maybe this coming weekend
:)

I often cut down on the sugar on some cakes.   but not on the brownie recipe I
posted :)  That one is good as is.

haha.. it might.. :)

haha.. yes, they would probably get a laugh out of it when they're older :)

We only have Showtime I believe.. I forget now :)  We cut back on the service
because it was such a waste of $$ for the most part.

Sometimes I put walnuts in them.. depends on who I'm making them for.. My
daughter is allergic to walnuts though, so I don't do it that often.

I like making french buttercream icing with confectioners and an egg.  It's raw
egg so you have to make sure you get 'quality' eggs to be on the safe side
though..

Take care,
Janis
