So, my computer finally crapped out last week.
It’s a 6 year old laptop that lived through 3 years of grad school, a few viruses, and almost 3 years of blogging. That’s gotta be like 23 in computer years.
I can still turn it on and use things like Microsoft Office, but it will no longer connect to the Internet. Not even if I go old school and plug the ethernet cord right into the side of it.
Since then, I’ve been using Nick’s computer to work and to blog.
Tip: If you’ve been using Microsoft LiveWriter and have to go back to using WordPress? Plan for another hour or so to put a post together. Be ready to sit and twiddle your thumbs waiting for your pictures to upload. Don’t expect for them to fall into place where you cursor is – that would be too easy. They’ll go in wherever they want to go in.
And sadly, when my computer finally went down, I lost a few pictures from some new recipes I had made.
A week or so ago, I made some awesome sea salt caramel brownies but I lost the pictures during “the crash”.
I am so bummed I can’t post them yet…but I guess that just means that I need to make them again so I can take some new pictures!
Until then, I’ve got a few recipes ready and waiting, but I’m still mourning the loss of my brownie pictures and can’t decide what to share next.
And since I like polls and voting (especially the “Who Wore it Best” poll on People.com – do you ever do that?), I thought I would open this up for you guys to tell me what recipe you want to see first!
The choices:
Pumpkin Spice Swirl Bread
French Toast with Spiced Butter
Buttermilk Waffles
Feta Swirl Bread
Brown Butter Blondies
I know it’s Friday and you’re probably not thinking about bread. And maybe I put the blondies last because they’re the only option that has chocolate. But can you blame me? Look at those chocolate chips.
So – which one do YOU want to see on Monday?

Oh no! Hopefully youll love having a new computer (and livewriter back!!) id like to see the pumpkin swirl bread
Oh no! so sorry about your computer
Personally, I want to see the feta swirl bread!
Are you kidding me, I’m always thinking about bread!
LOL but now you’ve got me on those blondies.
All of them sound fantastic! The french toast though…definetly looks amazing
I’m sorry about your computer! I would love to see the brown butter blondies! Yum!
Boooo sorry to hear about your computer :/ Technology can be so frustrating sometimes! I’d love to see the feta swirl bread – as I just opened my other 5lb package of the stuff and need some ideas haha!
I lost a bunch of photos when I switched from blogspot to wordpress so I feel your pain.
And I vote blondies!
Sorry about the computer woes. My laptop is on its last legs too — got it about 6 years ago and it’s survived studying for the CPA exam, work, blogging, tax returns, etc.
I vote for feta swirl bread!
I want the feta swirl bread, yum! Have a great weekend and sorry about your computer. I’m kind of holding my breath until mine goes!
my vote is for the blondies! RIP your computer. =(
Brown butter blondies!!
Ah, computer crashes suck when in involves blogging. I’m cool with losing documents (I say that now and will freak when it actually happens)…but losing photos really sucks. Not that remaking the recipes is horrible, but it’s still something extra that now has to be done!
wow, they all sound delicious (especially those caramel sea salt brownies–please make them again!!)…but for now, i vote for the french toast with spiced butter! Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to make the butterscotch pumpkin cake/blondies!
the pumpkin swirl bread. however if we can we vote for something not listed?? perhaps a pumpkin bread or any kind of bread really with chocolate? that way both the bread and the chocolate angles would be covered
Pumpkin Spice Swirl Bread! And the caramel sea salt brownies eventually–those sound amazing!
Sorry about the computer…that totally sucks
I would love to see the waffles with spiced butter…that sounds awesome!
Pumpkin Swirl Bread! And can’t wait for the Caramel Sea Salt Brownies, those sound amazing!
