Bored to Blondie

Most of us often mistake down time and quiet for boredom.  We all lead such busy and hectic lives, we often don't know what to do with ourselves when we don't have anything to do.

This is exactly what I was faced with this rainy Friday evening. 

My weekly chores were done, things were prepped in anticipation of Thankgiving dinner tomorrow.  I even finished my layered pumpkin cheesecake that will be tomorrow's dessert.

And then I sat there thinking "now what?"  Why can't we just embrace the down time?  Why can't I be content lying mindlessly on the couch watching television?

So I decided to bake.  I wanted to tackle something new.  Something I hadn't done yet. 

I tackled the "blondie."  Brownie's lighter faired sibling.  Alter a brownie recipe, throw in some white chocolate chips and voila!  The Blondie!

It's sweet... boy is it sweet.  Maybe they're supposed to be that sweet?  I'm not too sure.  Anyone who knows me knows that I aim to not just make sweet products.  I aim for flavour. But this one... it's sweet.

So we'll see what the husband says... he tends to be the best judge.  Then we'll see what the group says (when I say group... you all know who you are).  Then I'll be able to decide if this recipe makes "the cut."
