Good News on Menu Ingredients!

Just to keep everyone posted on things that don't really matter ;)...

We have the asparagus for the reunion. They had a great price on them, so we got 5 pounds, and we have frozen them. So, that pretty much takes care of 2 of the menu items: the blackberry lemonade and the asparagus. We still don't have anything to put on the asparagus, but I figure that can come then. The important part is that we got them at a great price and we are now ready with the asparagus!

Also, the poll closed on the t-shirt graphic. The majority vote was for the cemetary scene, so we will be sticking with the design I sent out. Again, those who have not gotten me the info on whether or not you want a shirt and what size you would like, please get that info to me ASAP. We would like to order them this week so we can be sure to have them here for the reunion!

And finally, a great recipe (and photo will be added later).

Brownies
1 cup cocoa
1 tsp. extract (this can be any extract you like. My mom uses mint, vanilla, or almond)
1 1/2 c. butter or margarine
2 c. sugar
1 c. + 4 tablespoons flour
4 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. baking powder
1 c. chocolate chips (optional)

Melt butter and mix in cocoa. Stir in sugar. Add eggs and extract. Combine flour and baking powder. Add to butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips, if desired. Grease 9x13 pan. Pour in batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, until toothpick barely comes out clean. Remove to cool on rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Cut into squares.
