The Cheesecake Marbled Brownies I made for the bake sale this past weekend were a hit. Thank you to the lovely Holly, who not only also shares an intense addiction to white noise machines (we realized this while rooming together at the Broad Summit), but gives fantastic bake sale advice.
(Currently enjoying the Quiet Noise iPhone app, by the way. I highly recommend the air conditioner sound.)
Did I mention that when it comes to bake sale recipes, I’m set for the next 60 years? Thanks to you and you and you, the next time I need to bake something, I am going to use random.org to pick a recipe from your comments.
However, my baking did not end at the marbled brownies. No sirree. When I popped those babies in the oven, I realized I had 80% of the chocolate chips remaining, so I made these chocolate chip cookies. (All before 7:30 am on a Saturday. I am baker, hear me ROAR.)
So good, so good, so good. In fact, there are crumbs all over my laptop as I type this. You might want to make some this very minute.

Listen up, ladies and gents!
I’m super excited to be working with Leslie Blodgett of Bare Escentuals and Sephora (OMG, pinch me) on a contest that starts today and goes through October 23, 2009. Many many MANY of you all need to enter immediately. Why?
#1 – (1) grand prize winner and a guest will receive a luxurious vacation to Honolulu, Hawaii for 5 nights/6 days and a gift basket of Leslie’s Bare Skin collection (approx. $2000 value).
#2 – (3) second place winners will receive a gift basket of Leslie’s Bare Skin Collection (over $100 value/each).
#3 – The contest involves writing about a personal travel experience, and considering so many of you are TALENTED BLOGGERS, you could totally win this thing. For reals. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT.
#4 – Because I said so.
Leslie’s brand new perfume line, The Perfume Diaries, is a series of fragrances inspired by Leslie’s travels around the world, and now she wants to hear about the scent memories you’ve created while on your own travels. The official rules and entry requirements are over here. I can’t tell you how incredibly stoked I would be if someone I knew won this contest.
(Even though I’m not eligible for the contest, I wrote about my own scent memories revolving around my wedding in Hawaii.)
