Weekend Update
After at least one post a day for a week, I feel like a slacker for not posting anything for two whole days in a row. I don’t really have that much to say right now, but I decided to update anyway.
The weekend was amazing. Jennifer, Jessica, and I had our housewarming party, which despite all the cleaning that is still left to do, was a huge success. I don’t think there will ever be that many people in our house again. Those OU Tulsa kids know how to party. Yesterday was my mom’s birthday, so I got to spend time with my family and eat lasagna and make brownies. It is a known fact that I hate baking, but I love making brownies for some reason. I think it’s because I grew up helping my mom, and we still use the exact same recipe we have always used. The page is falling out of a Joy of Cooking cookbook, and it has chocolate fingerprints all over it. My sister and I used to get in actual fights over licking the bowl, even though we always tried to share it. Yesterday after I finished making the brownies, I got to ask Toni if she wanted to lick the bowl with me. She was excited, and ran into the kitchen. I gave her a spoon, and she started to lick it, but she wasn’t getting very much chocolate off of it that way for some reason. She kept giving it back to me, and when I asked her if she was done she would say, “No,” in a tone that suggested I must be crazy. She just wanted more chocolate on the spoon, even though there was as sufficient amount already there. I taught her to use her finger to wipe it off the spoon, then to lick her finger. She liked that trick, and she ended up eating three spoonfuls of chocolate. It was so much fun sharing that moment with her.
