Sweet treats

I was very excited today to find out that I've won 200 bars of chocolate! And I've also been contacted by Ben & Jerry's offering me free ice-cream. It's not for myself, alas, but for a Fair Trade event I'm planning. More about that another time.

We had rain in the night and the temperature has cooled right back down to something more seasonally normal. So instead of baking outdoors it was quite pleasant to spend much of the day baking indoors, in preparation for a party the Girl is having tomorrow. She and her friend helped me out, and insisted on making Rice Krispie treats with melted mini-marshmallows. The Boy and I agree that this is a crime against Rice Krispies.

A propos of nothing, in the DC area we spied quite a few signs like this one. We'd not come across the concept of a Kiss and Ride before - have you?
