2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* Evenly divide batter into prepared baking pans and bake on 350F for 30-35 minutes or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with fudgy crumbs (preferred, as sometimes a clean toothpick can indicate the cake is overdone).

Littlewolf1 * Allow to cool in the baking pans for 15 minutes then run a knife along the edge to loosen it from the pan and carefully invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely (be careful, the pans will still be hot).

So thankful I remembered my kindle! It looks like it‘s going to be a long wait to see the doctor & I got here right when they opened. I‘m probably going to catch something else in the waiting room! 🙄

Mccall0113 Feel better soon! (I have a couple of the books in the series. I‘ve been picking them up at thrift stores and such. Do you have to read them in order to understand ?) 4y
NovelGirl82 @Mccall0113 Thank you! Umm...If you‘ve read the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich- They‘re kind of in that realm in that they can be read and enjoyed out of order (I actually read the 4th or 5th one and then went back and started from the beginning), but it may take you a little ways in to the book to catch up on who everyone is. She‘s great at explaining who the characters are in each book so that you can catch on & not feel lost, though. (edited) 4y

#MOvember #Sorry... not sorry it's not you, it's me. Lots of women loathing again, an apology of guns of all things from Lisa was well.. not a fun surprise. This is the last one of the series I had in my collection and I was done. I was not #sorry to quit this series.

Cinfhen That‘s a shame when a beloved series starts to go off the rails!! Sometimes we need to walk away☹️ 4y

My first crack at pic collage...

I was busy shopping for my #witchpleaseswap match and said, Oh snap! I don‘t know how they feel about licorice! So for my fellow swappers...let your mystery matches know if you have candy aversions!

Black licorice: no please never
Candy corn: all types, gimme! chocolate candy corn, yum
Gummi worms: worms 🐛 insects 🕷 ew...other gummies ok

I‘m really skeeved out by insects...

SilversReviews LOVE the background, but NO, NO, NO on all of these. The texture of gummi worms just gives me the chills. Thanks for the fun. 6y

Today was one of those days when I hit my knees for a long time and then curled up in bed with a non-school related book. Tomorrow will be better!

Why yes you're absolutely correct, I should be reading ahead for school. Am I going to listen to that perfectly sound logic?? Nope! 😉📚 Happy Friday everyone!!
