Today we celebrate the brownie! I don't know about you, but that's something worth celebrating in my book. Nuts, no nuts, mix-ins, blondies- nothing is more satisfying to me than a rich, gooey, dense brownie/blondie.

The brownie was first created by a chef at Chicago’s Palmer House Hotel for ladies attending the Chicago 1893 World Fair.

Here, as always, even though it has not been daily- just a lot going on these days.

Nor'easter coming to my place in the next day or two- better get baking!

7:37 near Plymouth MA.

I missed you & your treats, VikingGF! I stayed many times at the Palmer House, and have several (dim) memories of drinking at Trader Vic's the tiki lounge/restaurant in I believe the basement of that hotel -- Trader Vic's at the Palmer House ran for almost 50 years, until 2005. A good run.

Checking in for 24 more. I don't always feel like going to meetings, but I've never regretted going. In fact the times I don't feel like going tend to be the times I need meetings the most. I'm so grateful for AA and SR. I'd rather be in a meeting rather than in jail, the hospital, or the grave.

7:23 pm in TX

Courage- The Monkey Head nebula is beautiful! I once saw the Horseshoe Nebula through a telescope and thought it was the most amazing thing---- I'm a should-have-been astronomer for sure. Thanks so much for that!

Cool

A major consideration in my life is not picking up that first drink.
To do so could see me slip back into a crazy world where I self medicated my problems by utilizing an even bigger problem. I might say the same thing for the benzodiazepine prescription drugs.Triggers will occur, but by turning to a higher power, based on my own conscience, my chance of survival is greatly enhanced. Alcoholism and addiction solves nothing and worsens everything.


All good wishes to newcomers and those celebrating milestones!
