Groundhog Day Countdown

10 Groundhog Day countdown banners

There are quite a few other sites that offer holiday countdown banners and loads of scripts one can use, but several of those won't work on Blogger and while some will work, they conflict with my calendar at the top of the page.

I know one thing for certain, though: No matter how many years I will be blessed to live, I will always think of my online pal Garazon on Groundhog Day.

I might be senile, and not remember his name (or my own), but I'll think of him.

A little "bump" because...well, just because.

For Your Hairy Brownies

I really like shopping on Amazon, finding it easy to get certain items without having to buy from the local Walmart and most of the time the items are less expensive on Amazon than they are at that "discount" store.

Earlier this evening, I searched for an unfamiliar candy ingredient I saw in a recipe and saw the sale listing on Amazon in the search results.  After finding out what it was, I started looking at other items on Amazon, checking out the related items.  I looked at baking chocolate and saw a high rating for a Ghirardelli brownie mix.  I glanced at the price,  reasonable enough for four boxes of premium mix, then scrolled down to read the comments when I saw a "Frequently Bought Together" listing.  Amazon has these under nearly every product and usually there's a price break when the items are purchased together.  It's mostly like items or those that compliment each other, such as several pieces of microwave cookware or a set of knives with a sharpener.  I couldn't understand this pairing, though:
