Son K recently asked/bugged me to make some cookies. I found an old recipe for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies which called for brown sugar. It would be the perfect opportunity to use up some hardened brown sugar I had stored in a spaghetti jar. I googled and found a neat way to soften it. It said to put a moistened paper towel in the jar with the hardened sugar and microwave in bursts of 20 seconds. In between bursts you break up the softening sugar. The good news is that it worked and I was able to use up the old sugar. Lost without the internet, that would be me!
Husband M and I went with some friends to the Donny and Marie Christmas show currently playing in Toronto. They are pros, Marie was beautifully dressed and we had a good time. Well, except traffic was so bad that night we were 20 minutes late for the show. I've never been late for a show before.

Love that saying! Good trick with the sugar! Valerie
What a neat trick for the brown sugar. I'll have to keep that in mind. The internet offers a wealth of useful information!
I've never been to an actual show like that but I understand the main rule is leave as early as possible. If you think it's too early to leave then it's too late. I've been to a few events that I really should have turned up earlier for, but I've never been so late I was actually late. I'm glad the sugar was reusable like that and you didn't end up with a jar of unusable sugar.
Thanks for the tip for softening hard brown sugar.
The show must have been fun despite the delay in getting there.
Hope all Mondays are short.
Cool trick. No pictures of the cookies? Tease.
I never knew that about brown sugar! The internet is great! I'm glad you had fun at the concert. Traffic can be so vexing...
