David @BleedTeal As much as I’d like to blame Dish, the Sharks’ website does not say the game is in HD (which it usually does?), ergo … ;-) [dhkeller].

Felicia’s Brown Sugar Goodies

No Comments »

Felicia came up with her own creation in the kitchen today-Brown Sugar Goodies.  She got the necessary dishes, found the ingredients she wanted to include, and announced they would need to bake for 60 minutes,  I made a small sugestions to add a bit of bisquick and milk.  She worked out all the measurements.  The result was spectacular (seriously, it tased and looked really good).  Below is the recipe:

1/2 cup brown sugar

25 or more chocolate chips

2 – 1/2 cups Bisquick (that is 2 times a 1/2 cup, i.e. 1 cup)

1/2 cup milk

Mix all together with a spatula, scoop using cookie scooper.

Bake at 400 degrees for 60 minutes (check frequently-they may be done in about 10 minutes)

Merry Christmas to everyone! As a special holiday treat, Jocelyn taught herself to play the “Carol of the Bells” on the organ at our Cabin in Tahoe.

And she recorded it on her new Creativ Vado HD pocket video recorder. We hope you enjoy it!
