happy accident :)

GET THIS: i've been trying to prove to my husband that i can make a better brownie than betty crocker since we got married a year ago! i've made countless brownie recipe and never has it come up to par with betty's. dillon finally... FINALLY... gave me the seal of "betty-crocker-ness" last night after trying this brownie! YESSSSS :) :) :) dreams come true!!! only problem is... i hadn't intended to make brownies! AHAHA i was trying to make a warm fudge pudding and SOMEWHERE in the cooking process it decided to turn into a brownie! GO FIGURE! i really can't complain though! that's just the way life is! sometimes life seems to go astray and things don't go according to how i would have planned them, but in the end they work out! and MOST of the time, they work out better than i ever could have wished for in the first place! the little mistakes turn into happy accidents :)
