Thank God For Blondies

Hi out there in cold and rainy land.
Wow I think it has rained here for 24 hours straight. Not a hard rain but a nice kind of light showery rain. Now it is suppose to get cold and I am sure that I heard someone say the "S" word. You know the white stuff that Bing sang and dreamed about in his Christmas song. I still have some autumn clean up to do outside before that happens. I need to cut back my raspberries and the iris. I have some more day lilies and a new kind of iris to plant. Oh I will get it done.

Today I met some out of town relatives in Valpo for lunch at Applebee's. I thought they were passing through and that is why they called me to meet them. NO. They just drove up to see me. How nice was that. With today's visit it makes three times in the past week that I have been to Applebee's. I was a good girl today and only had a bowl of clam chowder and half of a sandwich. I thought I was doing really good, then my cousin ordered this blond brownie dessert thing and insisted that I try it. OH MY GOD! I am a total chocolate girl but this was just wonderful. She ask that they serve it on a hot plate and they did. It has a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and then they pour a maple sauce over the whole thing. Oh, did I mention the nuts? There really are no words to describe the taste.

So tomorrow I plan to really go after the dust bunnies. Plus it is that time to switch out summer clothes for winter ones. I do so hate doing this, but it is time.
So for now I say adieu.
Here is the official description;

Maple Butter Blondie

Blondes really do have more fun! Baked with nuts, topped with both ice cream and chopped walnuts, and served sizzling at your table where it's covered with a rich, maple butter sauce.
