I More Than Like You Brownies

Ever since I started working at Whole Foods I compulsively buy the Callebaut or Varlhona chocolate anytime there's a price reduction. Which means that I have several blocks of chocolate hanging out in my pantry at the moment.

Which leads us to another recent purchase. Shannon and I recently made a trip to Trident Booksellers and Cafe where I picked up (finally) I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence by Amy Sedaris.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread (or something witty)

Despite the fact that the flowers are in bloom and my grass is now long enough to need mowing, I have been craving pumpkin bread. As a matter of fact, there is no time of year that I'm not craving pumpkin bread. I love the combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. That married with the soft, almost creamy, texture of pumpkin kills me every time. Like pizza, even bad pumpkin bread is pretty good.

This Charming Cookie

I spent my day off baking cookies and listening to the Smiths. Which, let's face it, might be the best way to spend a day off ever.(Though the bit where I was dancing around my kitchen and suddenly noticed one of the creepy turkeys in my yard staring at me was less fun). I started off not really knowing what I wanted to make but knowing that I had a TON of chocolate chips. And by that I mean a four and half pound bag from BJ's.

Here's the finished product:
