Lis's Project 365

with 9 brownies to taste and vote on, the whole staff was pretty overdosed on sugar this afternoon. First place went to my coworker Tim, whose brownies were very tasty indeed.

The ones Doug and I made were good, but the caramel was so delicious that it overpowered the chocolate, and ultimately, brownies are about the chocolate. They did receive a handful of votes and I had one coworker who really liked them a lot. At any rate, when brownies are involved, there really are no losers, are there?

I hesitate to give my opinion of the brownies before the bake-off tomorrow, but they certainly look delicious!

My coworker Juli has declared that we shall have a Brownie Bake-off on Tuesday at work. Today Doug and I cooked up a batch of Turtle Brownies; the batter was quite tasty, so here’s hoping the brownies will be too!

I remember watching the chick enclosure at the science museum when I was little. And now Leah would stay there all day if you let her.

As is typical of him, Parker is unfazed by the fact that there’s a bicycle in the living room. It was there all night, and I was fully expecting to hear a crash, but it never came.

Look, friend, you drive a scooter. Ergo, you are not a bad ass. Hate to burst your bubble.

Went to the Revere Sandsculpting Festival today. Every year I see the pictures online and think “dammit! I wanted to go see that!” and this year I finally did.

This was my favorite sculpture. I should have taken a picture of the backside as well, which showed the rest of the lion’s body, with his head stuck through the front-facing opening.

The last one was a Black Swallowtail. This time it’s a Spicebush Swallowtail. Pretty groovy looking little fellow, isn’t he?
