Yes, I made these, and an expanded post with photo will be going up soon. Thanks to Nicole of Cookies on Friday for picking this recipe for today’s TWD.
*Begin rant*
I was supposed to be out of town, looking in on my auntie in Wisconsin. Except that . . .
- Milwaukee had seven inches of rain in 2 hours
- They closed the airport
- Midwest Airlines knew that the airport was closed and, consistent with its poor customer service in the past, failed to: call me, email me, OR UPDATE ITS AUTOMATED FLIGHT INFORMATION . . .
Whereupon, I sat in the airport for FIVE HOURS before I corralled an employee who informed me that the flight had been canceled at 5:00 am that morning. When I mentioned the aforementioned failings, which have been going on for at least 10 years (based on my personal, first-had knowledge), I was told that “Yeah, IT (information technology) is a problem with the company. But I don’t do that type of customer service.” I was told I would have to wait three days for space to open up on the next available flight out.
Needless to say, my patience is at an end, and I have re-booked on a competing airline. I figure 10 years of waiting for them to get their act together is long enough.
*End of rant. *
So, I went home and baked the blondies
, which were really good. I cut back on the brown sugar to half a cup (I made a half batch) which was plenty sweet for me. I even kept the coconut in the recipe even though my husband doesn’t like it (I had a little bit left and I had to use it up), and it was not offensive at all. Be sure to check the blogroll to see what everyone else made!

I’m so sorry that you had to go through such a frustrating experience. I hope that baking and enjoying these blondies cheered you up a little. And I hope your Auntie is doing okay, too!
I can just see them in my mind’s eye. And they look great. Baking is a good way to deal with frustration. Especially if it needs beating….
Sorry about your flight. I’m glad the baking helped a little. Thanks for baking with me this week.
Flying can be such a hassle when everything goes right…it’s a horror otherwise. On the plus side, you got to make these blondies and they look great. Hope your Aunt is doing better.
I’m glad you changed airlines. There is only so much abuse anyone should take!!
We’ve been taking the train when possible. It’s much less stressful.
