Nature's Cool, Man

I love the difference between these two pictures taken from the same location, taken at a similar time of day.

Nature's cool, man.

To Tide You Over... Again

O.K. Busy busy busy busy.

I know you've been waiting. I have my Valentine's Day post all written out but... issues with pictures so poor you. You're going to have to wait even longer.

In the meantime, how's this for something?

Pretty.

O.K. That's all the time I have for right now. 

Later. 

Other Things Going On Besides Valentine's Day

Besides Valentine adventures, we celebrated or pretended to celebrate some other holidays. 

I'm sure when I finally blog about Valentine's Day(s), it will be anticlimactic.

In the meantime...

February 11 was National Peppermint Patty Day. I ate one. I wished Jr. a happy National Guitar Day that day. He can play the guitar.

February 12 was Charles Darwin's Birthday. I thought of a discussion that happened during our Galentines activity. We were talking about the comedian Tim Hawkins and someone brought up how he has a bit about Darwin. I mentioned that Charles Darwin's birthday was coming up and we joked about celebrating. It turned out I was too busy that day to do anything except think about how it was Charles Darwin's birthday.

February 13 was National Tortellini Day. I realized the tortellini we had was too old so I made something completely different for dinner- red-and-white mostaccioli (with penne). 

I have no pictures to go along with these celebrations. Huh.

Oh well. Blog later. Bye. 

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

While you're still waiting on Valentine adventures, here are some teasers.

Since Jeremy knew he wouldn't be around for Valentine's Day, he made chocolate covered strawberries for me the week before.

 

O.K. O.K. O.K. I have to stop right now because of something funny I just discovered. 

O.K. I am the type of person who types with her fingers on the home row keys. Shout out to elementary school on a dark stage typing on the computers with the green screens. It worked well for me. I don't look at the keyboard while typing (except for numbers/symbols that are on the same keys as the numbers above the letters). Often I'll type in the dark. I just realized something while typing that my husband made chocolate covered strawberries for me.

If your fingers are over to the left one key from the home row keys, if you try to type "for" it comes out "die." Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.

So I was trying to type that he made chocolate covered strawberries for me but I was distracted or something after typing "strawberries" so I put my fingers in the wrong places and it came out he made chocolate covered strawberries die. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Actually, I'm the one who made them die by eating them. Bwah ha ha ha ha ha.

O.K. I think that's enough to share for this blog post. I hope you got a good chuckle from it like I did. 

Blog later.

Things to Share but No Time

I have Valentine things to share but I don't have the time right now.

We had several days of Valentine activities which is why it will take time that I don't have.

Sooooo...

One morning, Jeremy sent me this picture before work.

Oooooh. 

I ran out to get a picture of our sky. Not as brilliant, but still cool. 

O.K. Thanks. Blog later. Bye.

Mmmm, Brownies

You may have noticed that we like brownies in our family. We have a recipe for brownies that I've been using for many many many many years. It's my go to potluck dessert. Even the kids will make brownies if they need a dessert for something. It's simple. It's easy.

But I'm not going to talk about those brownies right now.

I'm going to talk about Cream Cheese Brownies because February 10 was National Cream Cheese Brownie Day. I can never remember what recipes I've used in the past for this holiday. So this year, I found a new recipe (I'm assuming I haven't made it before because I found it on the internet this time). It's from Tasty and the recipe was for Cream Cheese Boxed Brownies.

I didn't used a boxed brownie mix. I used our tried and true recipe, which is quick, which is good because it was getting later and later and I wanted to make those cream cheese brownies for the holiday. 

I would do this recipe again to see if I could get a better swirl on the top. Oh well. Looks aren't everything.
