CARAMEL BROWNIES! YUM!

First there were cheesecake brownies... then there were cheesecake greenies... and now....

CARAMEL BROWNIES!! (I love caramel so much!!!)

I've been playing recipe leggo again. I used the same recipe as for cheesecake brownies, but I replaced the  cheesecake mixture with caramel made by heating sweetened condensed milk in the microwave and thinned with a little cream. Viola! Caramel brownies!

FOOD FOR CYCLING

 I often go on long bicycle rides, and it always makes me really hungry. Sometimes I pack a picnic, but even if I do, I eat it all up quickly and end up buying stuff from convenience stores. A while ago I rode from Kyoto to Uji to Ishiyama and back to Kyoto. The scenery was great, especially along the Uji / Seta River. I took a rice ball with corn, okra, and black pepper, some walnut brownies, a mini-pack of tofu, and a nashi pear. I ate all that at Uji, and by the time I got to Ishiyama I needed more food, so I bought fried chicken wings and a sweet potato chou cream (in NZ we call those cream puffs.)

Sadly I don't seem to lose any weight from biking....
