Random Friday for the 21st, brownie making edition

Random Thoughts:

• I signed up for Jill's Jousting with Joyce. Come on, read Ulysses with us! Yes, I might be crazy, but I've been feeling outside of the blogging community lately and wanted to participate in something.
• I also signed up for Joanna's Food Challenge, and posted my first recipe here.
• Last weekend we went back to the old house and did a TON of little tiny things. Just one more trip and we should have it all spiffed up. It goes on the market within the week.
• They are showing the house today at 5. 
• I have a brand spanking new nephew! We're going to go visit him while they show the house.
• I want this. I want it so bad that I leave the link up all the time in on of my tabs. I keep thinking I could make one, but then I don't have the money for a color ink cartridge. Plus I'd rather buy a nice one. I'd buy that one but see lack of money above.

Books I Read This Week:

•  The Family Dinner: Great Ways to Connect with Your Kids, One Meal at a Time by Laurie David - Excellent, really inspires me to solidify the routine to be unbreakable.  At least one more post about this book to come.
• Perfect You by Elizabeth Scott- I did not like it. There, I said it.  I thought Kate was whiny and unlikeable for way too long. It wasn't until over 200 pages in that she began to redeem herself and then never fully did. Bloom was much better.
• The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry: Love, Laughter, and Tears in Paris at the World's Most Famous Cooking School by Kathleen Flinn - Still working on this one, pretty close to finishing.
• Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi - I heard it won the Printz so I grabbed it up quick. Have only read a chapter or so.

A Look Back at this week's posts:

• A Yummy chicken recipe, make sure to add the olives.
• I'd like to know your pantry must-haves.
• A brief review of The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

Shop Update:

I added a handful more knitting needle rolls this week, in case the birds weren't your style. Last night I whipped up an adorable little bib that I'm thinking of perfecting for the shop as well.  Hey, what do you think of that picture? Do you think I should crop in more? Is it attention getting at all? Is it better like this with the interior needles peeking out:

Also, I got a new signature for email this week.  It's big, but I like it.
