Try whipping up a batch of these brownies.
They're from my favorite foody blog, Baking Bites. I like to read it all the time and daydream about the yummy delicious food. I try to only make treats from it quarterly. They're just too delicious not to eat every crumb of them once they're made.
These brownies have a layer of oatmeal cookie crust at the bottom. The brownie part is really chocolatey in a dark delicious way. (all you dark chocolate lovers out there would love them--mom and dad!!).
Luckily I had a good excuse to make these tonight because I've been dying to! Kris met a kid at church who is applying to a master's program at RISD. He was here for interviews and had taken a cab to church. He was nice and Kris recognized the lost traveller feeling that he's had a lot during interviews. Kris invited him to dinner and gave him a ride home from church.
After we fed him a yummy spaghetti dinner and he left, I started thinking about all the people that were so kind to us when we first went out to Kansas City, that made us feel welcome and at home right when we got there. And the friends who have done the same here. We're just so lucky to have our church, to have a built in support system with great friends no matter where we have to go.
Anyway, we're grateful when we think back on it, and it was nice to share the love a little bit today with somebody who needed it.
And Max liked the brownies of course.
Tomorrow's a new week, and I'm going to blog more, yay! Another week closer to spring. We'll make it there eventually.

Way to go taking care of the lonely traveler. The brownies look scrumptious
Love you all
Dad
It's been so cold here, I'm eating like a bear getting ready to hibernate. So DON'T SHOW ME ANY MORE BROWNIES. The kids were here for a couple of hours tonight with Mr. Rooster Hair. So I'm tired now, and it's dark, and it's going to snow again, and I haven't done half what I was going to. Glad you took in the stray lamb, and gladder that you remember those who took you in. The best thing you can do for them is fatten them up. Then I won't feel so plump.
Are these the caramel oatmeal brownies? I really want them. I am not sure if the link to the recipe is right.
if i come interview at RISD will you make those brownies for me? :-)
Those brownies look delish! The problem with eating chocolate is it makes my bathing suit look smaller. I hate that!
So kind and good of you two to bring home the traveler. Your dad would be proud. :D
Mmmm...brownies.
If I hadn't given up chocolate for lent I would definitely be over there eating a few of those, ha :)
Those pictures of Max with chocolate on his face are just too cute. They really make me want to make those brownies. They do look scrumptious. Thanks to all those nice people that took you in. It makes all the difference doesn't it. Glad you could pay it forward as they say.
mmmmmmm, mom made the brownies today and they are so yummy!!!!! Good luck with the apartment search, never fun. But I hope you can find a place with a school that you like. If not you can come stay with us until Kris is done and Max and Parker can go to school together :)
Your right it really is a comforting feeling that no matter where you are, you are not alone. As long as we have another member of the church around we have an instant friend, with so many things in common. I'm sure you guys touched him and helped him not feel so lost. And the brownies with oatmeal, that looks great!
Yay almost springtime!
And yay chocolate!
That sounds like a dangerous site. :)
