Because sewcute told me to

...and I usually do what I'm told. ;)

Post one good thing and one bad thing about your day.

Good thing: I just watched the second episode of Sherlock season 3. Hilarious. A bit slow as the middle eps usually are, but this is the best middle episode of all 3 seasons.

One bad thing: a friend is in the hospital with low blood sugar, which may be related to her diabetes or it may be related to her failing kidneys. Said friend has had a really rough go of things health-wise for years now.

I need to bake brownies now. I have to make them for a work potluck, but baking is theraputic, so that's a plus.

Yay brownie baking! Are they from scratch or box? (Not judging just curious)

Scratch. It's the King Arthur Flour recipe, though I found it here: http://www.bunsinmyoven.com/2009/10/15/good-ol-homemade-brownies/ I make a couple adjustments: measure cocoa powder by weight (4 1/2 oz) and mix it into the melted butter and sugar first. Mix in everything but the flour and chocolate chips, and add 1/3 cup water if the batter is too thick at that point.

This is my favorite scratch brownie recipe. Before that, it was Ghiradelli box mix all the way.

So sorry for your friend! I hope things get an upswing for her soon!

Sooo glad you are enjoying Sherlock! I agree! It was slow but had so many funny, adorable moments!

So sorry about your friend! I'll be praying for her!

Yum, brownies!
