The Internet is MINE!

I now have a DSL connection to the internet. The violin I ordered from the US is still MIA, but I hope to try and get USPS to hunt it down or make an insurance claim.

Big news of the week is that I purchased a furry hat. It isn't one of the huge furry hats that are frequently seen on the street, though it is real fur (probably), and of modest size. I decided not to go with a furry baseball cap, though I was tempted. It also has flaps that I can pull down to keep my earsies warm.

I also failed today to make brownies. They turned out rather golden, and excessively cakelike with almost no taste of chocolate. I will need to try again with cocoa powder instead of real chocolate and a fudgier recipe.

Later Note: Upon further consideration, they taste much more of chocolate once they have cooled, and were not substantially different from the batch I baked with cacao. They are still cake-like, but overall I am pleased, and everyone seems to like them.
