Photo of the Week: Six

I’m really not a big risk taker and I’m really not all that adventurous, but I felt a little bit of both when I realized that I took this photo shortly after “breaking in” to an unused chapel (in all fairness, the property is pretty much abandoned and the door/lock was already broken…), about the same time as a dead rodent was discovered on the altar just to the right of where I was standing, and just before being scared out of the building by something flying around in the rafters. So apparently, photo excursions make me uncharacteristically bold.

Photo of the Week: Five

If you follow me on twitter (or facebook), you may recall that last weekend, I had a bit of a baking fail. I tried a new recipe for peanut butter chocolate bars, then totally forgot to add the vanilla to the chocolate layer (worse, I didn’t even think about it until the pan had been in the oven for about 5 minutes), and then I ended up not loving them anyways.

So in an effort to redeem myself (um, yes, a baking fail one weekend absolutely requires a baking success the next), I finally got around to purchasing brown sugar this week so I could try another new recipe that I found for one extra large chocolate chip cookie. Win!
