Hello! It's Tuesday, and Daniel had the day off, which meant...a post-Sam's run to Target, where i zealously squealed over (and consequently purchased) much of their Halloweenie items :) eeeeeks! so cute!! in preparation for our Daria/Fall/Halloween/Birthday party coming up in a couple weeks! (do i feel guilty for purchasing fall-colored funfetti cupcake mix, instead of baking my own? NO!!!!! because EVERYONE LOVES FUNFETTI!)
after which, we ran to the neighboring liquor store (MidTown) and bought "Frozen Ghost" vodka (spooky and delicious! and...burn-y) as well as a bag of EcoVino wine, a company based in oklahoma. people swear it does not give you hangovers, thanks to the organic grapes/no preservatives. and the bag has an adorable old-timey photo of a man on a pedalcopter.
i wanted to share a recipe from Patricia Helding's cookbook Fat Witch Brownies (a collection of recipes from her Fat Witch Bakery in Manhattan. This is a wonderful book, because everything is made in a 9x9 pan, which means...fewer ingredients=cheaper/easier! very rush-and-budget friendly. and yummy! toffee happens to be one of my FAVORITE foods, so i made these Toffee Bars the other day:
1. Oven at 350. Grease and flour 9x9 pan.
2. To make crust, cream together 1 stick butter and 1/2 c brown sugar. Add and mix in 1 c flour. Add, 1 T at a time, 3 T sweetened condensed milk, and mix until blended. Press dough into baking pan and bake 14 min.
3. After the crust is finished, Cream together 1 c brown sugar, 2 eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla.. Add and stir in 2 T flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Pour on top of crust, and bake 25 min or until done. Remove and let cool. Enjoy. YAY!
