home_and_awayyou know, aside from the fact that most of my nourishment comes from the skillit of mein liebchen, cooking fascinates me.
Particularly little decadences like half-baked chocolate cakes and one of my aunts-in-law's Toffee Cookie Bites. Never been this much of a chocoholic before...
For any curious soul among you, and for myself (since this is my only really reliable filing cabinet), the recipe:
24 saltine crackers
1 1/2 sticks butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 (12 oz) package chocolate morsels (milk chocolate is lovely)
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 325 F
place crackers on foil-lined cookie sheet
microwave butter & brown sugar in microwave-safe mixing bowl until butter melts, stirring occasionally. use a wire whisk to mix melted ingredients. mixture will become thick as you mix it.
pour over crackers. bake 10 minutes or until bubbly. remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate morsels, spreading as they melt. sprinkle with chopped nuts.
cover and chill at least 2 hours. lift foil up from pan & cut bites into 1-inch squares or break inot pieces. store in refrigerator.
In other news, it's been a good week! Work to do every day thus far. Used my NMT training more in the past three weeks than I had in the three months previous, but that's cool--I'm being useful!
the little one's stopped kicking the same floating rib every time, too, so yeah...I'm a happy human.
Still so wierd to think that in a little more than a month, I'll get to see his face...
