Isn't that nice when it works out that way? The kids hang out, the moms (and sometimes dads) hang out too.
This one in particular, the girls were friends almost from birth to age 6. We moved away from them, but the girls (and moms) kept in touch via letters, presents, and Christmas cards.
Later on, the girls got back in touch via Facebook.
Mom and I though, we just stopped talking one day. Nothing happened, that I could think of at least, we just lost touch.
Last night I had a bad dream about her. It woke me up in a sweat. As I fell back asleep, I ended up slipping into another bad dream about her. This happened about 5 times total. It left me with an uncomfortable feeling.
I looked through my email and found a work email for her. I didn't even know if it still was the right one, but I had to give it a try.
To my relief, she answered it! We talked for a bit, and then promised we will have a phone marathon very soon.
I decided to celebrate by making some brownies!
I had seen a recipe on Inspired by Charm and just had to try it.
Oh. My. Word.
Now I am not sure what is more exciting, yummy brownies, or reconnecting with an old friend!
Ingredients:
2 Boxes brownie mix
(plus ingredients specified on box)
4 Cookies and Cream candy bars
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Prepare brownie mix according to the directions on the package
3. Spray 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray
4. Spread half of the brownie mixture into the cake pan
5. Place candy bars on the brownie layer
6. Cover with remaining brownie batter
7. Cook for 35-45 minutes until toothpick comes out clean
