I think I’m coming down with something. Cold, lack of sleep and poor nutrition do not a healthy person make. Yesterday I ate: coffee, pizza, mac and cheese, a cookie, and two cups of hot chocolate. So not pretty.

I accidentally bought salted butter at the store today. They should warn people. Also, memo to No Frills: since when was regularly stocking shelves a “frill”? I went to look for any kind of dark chocolate and coconut and they still had none of either.

I’ve looked in two different stores for coconut. This is not a popular ingredient here people! I know it kind of looks like snow, but that’s no excuse. Another thing there is no excuse for is burning my thumb on the hot brownie pan. I am retarded. The white stuff in the middle of the brownies is cream cheese. It’s Nigella’s recipe, but I had to make half again as much to fill my larger pan. It seemed to work out okay, but I didn’t need near as much cream cheese as I thought.
