You can find the entire recipe for Salted Brown Butter Crispy Treats here. Start by buttering an 8x8 inch pan or you can do like I did and line the entire pan with aluminum foil and spray with Pam for super easy cleanup. Set the pan aside.
In a large pot melt a stick of butter on medium-low heat stirring frequently making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan. The butter will become foamy and then start to get golden brown. Watch the butter carefully and stir constantly because it goes from golden to burned quickly! When the butter looks nice and golden brown remove from the heat and quickly stir in the 10 oz. of marshmallows until they become all melted and smooth. Add in 6 cups of Rice Krispies Cereal and 1/4 tsp. of sea salt or you can use coarse kosher salt like I did. Mix well to coat and spoon the mixture into the prepared pan.
I am so glad they now run House Hunters International 5 nights a week at 7:00pm. Other than the episodes where people are looking for vacation homes in Costa Rica or Belize, I love this show. Especially when people are looking in Europe. I loved last night's episode in Amsterdam. It's amazing what a nice place you can get for under $250K in some of these European cities. Makes me contemplate selling Apgar Street and moving to Europe.
A BART employee is now off the job and facing serious charges for false imprisonment and soliciting a lewd act.
According to the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office, it all took place while he was operating the train.
Prosecutors announced Wednesday they have charged veteran BART train operator Calvin Peter Tom in connection with an incident that took place on an eastbound train headed from the Rockridge station to Orinda on August 4.
Authorities said Tom invited a female passenger and a boy into the cab of the train.
Once they were both inside, Tom allegedly asked the woman if he could fondle her breasts and then he blocked her from leaving when she refused his advances.
A BART spokesman says Tom was immediately placed on unpaid leave and escorted off the property, but the 14-year employee decided to retire before he could be disciplined.
"Even without any sexual advances and false imprisonment charges, just bringing somebody into the cab could be a termination offense," said Linton Johnson, Chief BART Spokesman.
The woman managed to get off the train in Pleasant Hill and reported the incident to BART police.
"There was also a child in the cab with this female passenger," Johnson said. "So if all of these charges are true, then he has some serious answering to do before a judge and jury if this goes to trial."
I cried during an episode of "Tabitha's Salon Makeover" on Bravo yesterday. As if watching three hours of the show in a row (instead of getting out and working in my garden) wasn't low enough.

These cute little candy bites are a recipe that I found in the fun cookbook entitled "You Made That Dessert?" by Beth Lipton. The recipe calls for only four ingredients to make around 35 tasty candies. The candies are sweet and crunchy with a nice peanut butter butterscotch flavor. I added a little sea salt topping to mine for some extra flavor. The recipe is pretty basic and calls for rolling the candies into little balls. I decided to take it a step further and dress them up a little by using a candy mold and some melted chocolate. I think they turned out nice and would make a fun gift! Here is how you can make your own candies:
Go forth and fill your libraries with media.
Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees and line two baking sheets with silpat mats or parchment paper.
Wow, I can't believe it has been 2 months since my last post. I think the main reason is my iPhone hasn't been working for that long. The voicemail isn't working and I can't get internet access so I can't email pictures, so I have nothing to post. I wrote a good halloween post a couple years back, if I knew how to link to that I would. I don't really have anything to say. Nothing is going on. I'm fighting with Bank of the West. They really screw you over with the overdraft fees. I swear they hold them until applying puts you in overdraft, then apply them. They suck. Don't ever use Bank of the West. I fucking hate them. As soon as I can I am closing the account and switching to Chase. I don't care how big of a pain in the ass it is, I hate BOTW so fucking much. I hope a million people read this post and everyone closes their accounts. If any of the three people who read this blog have accounts there, please close them.
I am breaking from my hermetically sealed life to actually have brunch with my friend (and former co-worker) Lisa Chan tomorrow. I love Lisa. I'm actually looking forward to a social obligation for the first time in years.
Other than that, we are broke, I can't catch up on our bills, my back is killing me but I have used up the 30 physical therapy appoinments my insurance covers this year. I can't seem to get a day off from work for the life of me.
Oh, and fuck comcast too! I want to get AT&T Uverse so I can bundle in our iPhones and internet, but they don't offer it in my area. In othe words, they don't offer it to poor people so that Comcast can keep ripping us off. A few weeks ago we started losing random channels above channel 39 in the bedroom and kitchen until finally we had nothing above 39 left. Comcast told me I had to go to the comcast store and purchase converter boxes. Then I found out the same thing was happening to my parents and Comcast sent them boxes for free. So I called back and they did that for us. But you have to install them yourselves which was a pain and now I have an extra remote for each tv along with an extra little box that looks shitty sitting on my kitchen counter. Everything is bullshit these days.
Have a great day!
