I started on the fill-in on the current band on Carmen.
I don't think I'm going to get in my three hours today. We had an abbreviated night and my eyes keep crossing.
My area of North Carolina got about 7 inches of rain in just a couple of hours last night--nothing like the tragedy in Texas, but enough to cause flash flooding and weather alerts. Our corner of the building is close to a "wet-weather creek" which means that there is a trickle of water at the bottom of a ditch unless we have wet weather. Then we have a creek. Last night we had a torrent or water rushing over the banks of the ditch and covering the little footbridge that extends over the creek.
Now, how do I know about this? Dearly Beloved was going to go out on the covered part of the deck to see if there was water coming up our sidewalk. I noticed he put his raincoat on as he went outside but figured he was just going to make sure he didn't get wet since, after all, he was already ready for bed. Wearing his usual t-shirt and boxers.
What I didn't realize was that he decided to reconnoiter the parking lot and the creek. So here he is, wandering around the neighborhood in a raincoat and his boxers. Does this sound like a flasher to anyone else?
The man needs a keeper.
And, in answer to the brownie question--No, I didn't bake brownies. To make the mint glaze, I would need to find a box of thin mint wafers, which may no longer be made. They're like a York Peppermint Patty but about a fourth the thickness. To glaze the brownies, you spread those wafers on top of the brownies when they come out of the oven, The chocolate coating melts and they become spreadable.
I have tried doing this with Andes Mints, but they're too thick to melt quickly enough.
And besides, we really don't need to eat a whole pan of brownies, possibly at one sitting. They're that good.
