Best Tasting Brownies

Good Tuesday morning!

Mindless Monday continues today in the Gallery. I've also added the newest inflatable in The Twelve Days of Inflatables. Enjoy!

BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE EVER! - Well, no one agreed on just one movie in the Comment Section. It's A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation and White Christmas were all mentioned, and are all very worthy for the title Best Christmas Movie Ever.

However, I will have to be the tie-breaker this morning and say that I have absolutely LOVED White Christmas since I was Roxie's age (or younger). The music and the dancing and the clothes... I could go on and on. I have the movie. I have had the album since WAY BACK WHEN (Code for STEREOS WITH TURNTABLES).

I'll admit, my Christmas experience is better for watching It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation every year, but as far as "BEST" goes, White Christmas is the winnah! (Ann and I are kindred spirits!)

RANDOMNESS #1 - The Christmas Card count is now up to 54. Not included in the count are the ten Christmas cards Melia gave me last night... each one with a Merry Christmas greeting in a different language. I'll be sharing some of those with you as the week progresses. Is it any wonder I love Melia?

RANDOMNESS #2 - I will be mailing the rest of my Christmas cards today and tomorrow. I ran out of Christmas cards before I finished going through my address book, but my re-order came in, and I am addressing them during ALL of my free time!

RANDOMNESS #3 - One of my reindeer antlers flew off my van yesterday in front of Wal-Mart, the busiest road in the entire town. I risked life and limb running across traffic to retrieve my antler. You know. Some things are worth taking a risk for, and some... not so much. I'm lucky to be writing this post today!

Best Tasting Brownies

If you have been looking for the Best Tasting Brownie recipe, look no more. I copied this from my Emilie Barnes' book, The 12 Teas of Christmas. It all starts with a mix...

You will need the following:

1 family-size package Duncan Hines fudge brownie mix with chocolate syrup
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons water
1/4 cup oil
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts OR pecans
1 cup white mini marshmallows
1. Combine all ingredients.

2. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Have a wonderful Tuesday. I hope you are finished with all your Christmas shopping, baking and such, and are enjoying this last week before the big day. I am still shopping, addressing cards and baking, but so far I have not had a meltdown. That will probably be coming Thursday or Friday! You will want to visit A Simple Life for Wednesday Wisdom, a fun party and more, more, more tomorrow.

Until then, Frohe Weihnachten! (Merry Christmas in German. Pretty cool, huh?)

Take care, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Sincerely,

The Enchanting and German-Speaking Belinda
