This is why I don't cook...

Today was the day I decided that no matter what - I HAD to get our tax stuff done.  Farm tax stuff.  Jewelry tax stuff.  Personal tax stuff.  No, I have done nothing towards organizing anything all year.  Yes, I am a procrastinator.  Bleh.  I did have enough forethought to stop & buy some stuff for a crockpot dinner. I knew I wouldn't wanna stop to make supper (oh, the humanity) so I started dinner around 9 am. 
I also needed to make a dish for a Superbowl party we're going to.  I really wanted to use my new pan from Christmas.  (Remember the 'baked from a box in Jaime's kitchen'?)  I had just the yummy boxed dessert - cookie brownie bars.  Heaven.  I followed the directions to the letter.  Afterall, I am an avid detail payer-attention-toer....
 I don't know how in the world THIS little detail evaded me until I was searching frantically for the directions for how long to bake it.  My 13x9 pan was not listed in that chart... so I read the fine print, "For 13x9 pan, use 2 boxes for best results.'  Sigh...
  THIS is how it turned out.  I mean, really?  I can't take this with me.  B-rad said, "Don't worry about it-we'll eat that & just make cookies!"  (Of which I have 2 rolls of in the fridge...)  Oh, how I love him...

The box said to cook them for 50(!) minutes so I did... Uhm that was for 2 mixes, I had 1. They're hard as a brick. I don't know how I'm gonna get them out of the pan! Like the title says... :)

They look good to me...I love the brownie/cookie idea. Too bad they were hard. :(

Next time I see you, you better have some of those brownie-cookie bars ready to share. You know what you have to do now to get some good ones. I'm looking forward to trying them. ;-)
