I don't know why this is so difficult, getting back into the swing of things online. I guess I have just been picking up other hobbies and pursuits that now demand to retain that time slot that they began to occupy.
It's been an eventful week with crazy mornings filled with people scrambling to leave the house on time to get to their destinations. Somehow, mornings seem so full of panic, that I need the rest of the day to recover.
And I have started blogging again but mostly on my knitting blog which ties it all into my current yarn obsession.
It's even harder to concentrate this morning, having begun the day with a marshmallow-covered brownie. A sugar rush that I am going to regret later when my body is fainting for lack of protein. Everyone scoffed at putting the marshmallows on the brownies, but I notice they are all gobbling them up.
The Girl said "Really? Marshmallows on brownies? Is that a thing?"
"Yes, it's a thing" I answered. "It's a Rachel Ray thing". That made her go quiet, since she has no idea who Rachel Ray is.
And truthfully, I did see Rachel Ray do it on one of those Facebook videos. Ray took a brownie mix, added peanut butter chips and put marshmallows on top and although they looked delicious, all I could think was "Really? You have a cooking show on TV and you use a mix?"
What is television coming to?

Yes, but without all the additions. The only one should be walnut chips. The rest is just folly and spoils the effect (just sayin').

this is insane. This is a very unusual recipe, not for me, I am allergic to peanuts.

@Rollo1 was she on her show when the video on FB was made, Anja, or was she in her home or elsewhere. The idea to me was that she has a cooking show, not that she was then on it too. Either way absurd.

Hey, she's rich. She can do whatever she wants, including using a mix.

I don't begrudge her the mix, sometimes you can take easy things and make them into delicious things. But I am surprised that a TV chef is recommending mixes. I thought they all grew their own wheat and milled their own flour, etc.

@Rollo1 Okay, I see. No, they don't grow their own. Neither do they clean their own houses, drive their own cars, etc. They are too busy with self-promotion, which is how they stay employed so they can hire their day to day work done.

My focus is off today. I was hoping to prove to myself that it would be possible to Reach the magic payout in 29 days.

I have never had marshmallows on brownies. I do enjoy a marshmallow over a fire, then on fire and blown out. It tastes Devine.

@Rollo1 no kidding. I was just thinking that dried fruit bits might be nice, like raspberry

One should not criticize food and then gobble it up. The complainers should leave the food to people who say, "Oo yum,that looks great!"

And I have just read about the National Chocolate Cake Day, now it is marshmallow covered brownie. I am kind of regretting that I did not have coffee and cake after dinner. Sigh.

@Rollo1 I could already smell that nice cup of coffee. I finally had a slice of cake awhile back. It is my colleague's birthday.

She is all about the 30 minute meal so it seems logical she would chose a mix since most of her viewers have never made or probably eaten a from scratch brownie. It is just the way the word is. If I want scratch I would watch Ina.

I love brownies, but I don't think I would want one with marshmallows on top.

Hey look! It's Rachel and her 5 magical brownie recipes you can make from brownie mix. She probably endorses that stuff. 
Want to make a show-stopping dessert with only a few fun ingredients that you probably already have in your cupboard?
