Well, this blows
Here’s what I heard: some dumbass developer near Sacramento ploughed up a fiberoptic cable, screwing up high speed internet for the entire West coast.
WordPress gives me all kinds of errors when I try to open my comments. I don’t know if this will even post!
Here goes nothing . . .
Yay! It worked! But I’m still disturbed by all these “WordPress database error” files. Next thing you know, I’ll crash my blog. I’ve done it before.
Here. Have a recipe.
From Pampered Chef . . .
Tempting Toffee Crisps
12 whole (5 x 2 1/2 inch) graham crackers
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter (do not use margarine)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cup chopped almonds1. Preheat oven to 350. Arrange graham crackers side by side in a single layer pan (with sides)
2. In saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil. Continue boiling 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from saucepan and pour over crackers.
3. Bake 10-12 min or until bubbly and lightly browned. Remove pan from oven and place on a cooling rack. Sprinkle with chocolate morsels. Allow chocolate to soften, then spread over the crackers.
4. Sprinkle almonds over chocolate. Cool completely. Break into pieces.
I’ve made these using Saltines and they were AMAZING. I can’t even begin to imagine how much better they would be with graham crackers. And, hey, why not throw some marshmallows in there, too? Toffee smores!
D.
A heart attack in easy to chew chunks.
Jeez, Doug. Trying to drum up business for your medical friends? (Can’t see it being much of an ENT issue – unless taken nasally, of course)
Delish, no? My old roommate introduced me to the Florida trash version (just butter, brown sugar, choc. chips and saltines) a few years ago, and now if I don’t include them among the Xmas cookies I make I get hell for it.
OK, have to stop thinking about these now, or I will drown in drool…
Oh yummy!
Thank goodness I can’t buy saltines or graham crakers here, or I’d be a blimp – this recipe looks scrumptious.
When I worked at a telecomm, we called them FSBE’s – fiber seeking backhoe events.
Not fair on the toffee crisps: I am prepping for a colonoscopy today, and am trying to avoid thoughts of food.
Looks like the Net is working again. I don’t get any strange, incomprehensible error messages from WordPress, and I can read my comments.
My son will be so relieved. He went through World of Warcraft withdrawal yesterday.
mmmm… My grandmother makes these. She calls them Rocky Roads.
Mmmmm….
Oh.
Oh, Doug.
I hate you.
I must make these now. I *think* we’ve even got all the ingredients in the house at the moment…
You bastard. My Weasel days will be over if you keep this up.
*whimper*
Mmmm Rocky Road.
Kris, maybe some of us WANT to see a little more chunk to our weasels 🙂
I’m not listening lalalala I’m not listening lalalaaa!!
