Last night, the choir gathered at my home. There were brownies to bake (9 half sheet pans with two recipes each pan), wire crosses to make (we now have about 25 crosses and a lot of zipper pulls and key chains), bracelet lore to pass on to new people, pizza to eat, and songs to sing together.
Before I tell you more about the evening...I have a serious question: I bought new hand mixers for the choir, and when I opened the boxes, I made the annoying discovery in the picture to the right--------- So, here is my question to Black and Decker...why, on God's green earth did you find it necessary, amongst all the other packaging to CABLE TIE the plug in this manner? There is no good reason for this, other than to incite package rage. Good grief!For the first time, we added a new dimension to our bake night and broadcast our evening on Ustream with a few select friends. As the choir grows and we age, more of our friends will move on to college and the Ustream client will be nice so that those far away can still join us every so often for fun and good memories.
Friday we will start baking at 8:00 in the morning and will not close the kitchen doors until we are done late Friday night. Pray for us, please, as we need stamina, good cheerful hearts, and a sense of community and fun throughout our long weekend. I pray that God will bless the works of our hands and hearts.
See y'all on Friday when I post more pics and possibly video of the choir doing all this crazy hard work.

Thanks for the glimpse into the choir last night! And they probably will cite some safety reason, but its so they can charge more money.
that was so so so so so fun!!!!! i cant wait for friday when my brownies become brownie pops! And yes they are MY brownies...
That is so strange. Hope the baking went well. I missed the stream though. :-(
Thanks again for sharing your evening with us! The fields ARE ripe for harvest! God bless you! And thank you for sharing your joy.
Regarding your question to B&D and their alleged apparent intent "to incite to package rage" (LOL!) Maybe B&D might have myriad mountains of minimally-manned mixers and this is their only way to subvert ill-intended returns... Or maybe it is merely a miserable marketing mishap... OR maybe they just want you to buy their "cable tie remover tool" too! $$$
LOLOLOLROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at Sohpia Grace's alliterative assault on the almightily avariced B & D. hee hee hee
and Dominus...no worries, we'll do it again eventually. If we ever get WIFI at St. R's like we're supposed to....(hint hint Fr. Mike hint hint how long, O Lord, must we wait...hint hint WIFI) we'll do some streaming from the commercial kitchen where we coat the brownies, sing and package them up.
