Brownie update...
Well..... They were a flop! I did not use "fudge" brownie mix, not sure if that was the issue or not, BUT... They did not turn out.
First of all, I used room temp diet coke, not out of the fridge... And the mix was almost liquid. Bubbles would not disappear and that's just how they cooked, or I should say not cooked. Could not get the gooey to go away.. Almost burned them, dry around the edges and gooey on the bottom. :(
Rubber chocolate is what they tasted like. Sad.... Wasted a good box of Betty Crocker brownie mix.

Diet Coke Brownies??!!
I personnally have not tried these yet, but I plan on it... Sounds like it would work. Someone try it and let me know...
These came from a blog called www.auntpegsrecipebox.blogspot.com and she says it works..
I found this recipe at Every Mile a Memory, and when I read the post I almost fell off my chair. I thought this was an impossible recipe, that it was a hoax, that it was an early April Fools day trick, but hey, I will try anything once, so....
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl dump the brownie mix in. Open that can of Diet Coke (try not to drink any of it), and slowly pour over the dry brownie mix. It will foam up a lot. I stopped to stir in the soda a couple of times.
When all of the Diet Coke has been stirred in and well
incorporated the batter will be very liquid, but that's OK.
Pour into a 9 x 13 pan which has been lightly coated with
non-stick spray (bottom of the pan only),and bake for 30-35 minutes or as
directed on the box. I found though that I had to increase the baking time
by about 7 minutes in order to have a toothpick inserted in the center come out
clean
Let them cool, cut them into 24 pieces and try not to eat the entire pan before the family gets home!
I have also made this recipe using the low fat boxed
brownie mix, and I'm not kidding, you can't tell the difference!
Using the low fat mix, and cutting into 24 equal pieces, each brownie is 105 calories, and 0.5 grams fat.
OH MY!

Reversible Towel Placemat...
Had to share this with you, I got this from embroiderylibrary.com...... really simple idea... my computer shows it all wonky, spilling off the sides of my page... but as far as I see, you can still read all the directions.. if not, you can go to..

Designs Used: I used the large size of the Ripe Cherries, and the large size of the Zesty Lemon. Designs from Winter in Bloom with Echoes and Vintage Jacobean Fruit would also be tasteful on a towel placemat! Finished Size: 17 3/4" wide by 12 3/4" high Special Project Notes: I used a dish towel for one side of the placemat and lightweight canvas for the other side. Mix and match all kinds of fabrics and textures to make a fabulous reversible and versatile placemat! |

Place the template on the fabric where you want it.I placed the design along the right edge of the fabric with the outer right edge of the design about 1 1/4" from the outer right edge of the fabric. Center the design from top to bottom by measuring equal distances from the top and bottom outer edges of the design and the top and bottom edges of the fabric.Using an air-erase pen or other marking tool, poke a hole in the center of the template and mark the fabric.Also, mark the horizontal and vertical axis points. |

Now that's clever!
They took and drawer, turned it sideways, added a little paper on the bottom/back and made a clever storage space for the bathroom.. Then 2 eye hooks on the bottom for a towel bar..
Who woulda thunk!!
