| It's our 16th Anniversary on Friday Posted: 20 May 2009 07:56 PM PDT (That's 16 years of wedded bliss, not 16 years of blogging. Just wanted to clarify.) Look what came in the mail from Mom & John! An awesome anniversary gift - the book Lifeskills for Success by Dave Anderson of Famous Dave's restaurants. Dave and Frank are both Ojibwe chefs, and Frank has always admired Dave and his success. On top of that, Dave's book brings up the same subject of the power of the mind, just like many other classic books such as The Secret, Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad, The Richest Man in Babylon, and others.        |
| Calorie-free brownies? Really?? Posted: 21 May 2009 05:01 AM PDT The paint pens I sell with Pass It On Plates have a variety of uses. Have you tried one yet? A recent pot luck dinner dilemma had me wondering if I would ever see my shiny new cake pan after the party. No prob. I whipped out a few of these special paint pens and went to work on the cake pan. Not only is it distinctly mine, it's prettier, too. Using the two green colors and dots in pearly white, I drew leaves and vines on one side. Then I took the pearly white color and wrote a little message on one end. It's only visible when the light hits it right. I wanted this to be a funny surprise when noticed. Funny thing now, this is the end that people always start to cut from. (I had to take a little cut, myself. For quality control purposes, of course.) Last, make no mistake, this is my cake pan. More importantly, the extra big name says "Pam Hawk MADE THIS FOOD." People trust my cooking. I don't know why; when it comes to practical jokes they don't trust me...
The instructions on the pen say to bake it in the oven at 300F for 30 minutes. I cheated and baked it at 350F for about 20 minutes. The cake brownies were in the pan and I didn't want to mess them up. (Yeah, this was a last minute project thought up at the last minute while I was making the brownies.) I don't recommend cheating, but I figured the retained heat in the pan would continue cooking the pen for a little while longer. Everything stayed intact through the dishwasher, so that's a good sign. These brownies are made from scratch. I'll have to post the recipe for you. They're pretty darn easy and really good. Cakey. Yum.   |
