I like to take mine off and put on slippers (or flip flops in the summer) because it means I am ...
I get a great crust on my brownies with melted chocolate. I use the recipe on the back of the Baker's Chocolate box. I'm a huge proponent of this recipe. It has 3 eggs, maybe that makes the diff...
I must eat 10 pieces of candy corn and then I want to gag.
I like mini-Mounds!!!!!!! In fact I have to buy something different to give out so that I don't eat them all.
If kids weren't constantly subject to treats as they seem to be these days then Halloween could be the treat-fest it is meant to be. I will NEVER stop giving out candy on Halloween. My own memori...
