Getting old sucks...

I couldn't figure out why, after an hour in the oven,
my apple Butterbraid wasn't browning... I read the recipe
instructions three times. I saw, 225 for 22-27 minutes
Then I put on my reading glasses... And, bumped up the oven to 325!

  3. Oh, no, Teresa! Can't take credit... It's a thaw/rise and bake Butterbraid I purchased to help a friend at work with a fundraiser for her bowling league.

    I'm still jamming along on my CLEAN program so I'm not baking from scratch like I once did - But as you well know, our husbands still love their desserts... So this was the answer tonight! Happy to do it... But it took FOREVER because I just REFUSE to wear my reading glasses!

    I had PRK corrective laser eye surgery in 1999 and have been SOOOO happy without glasses/contacts that I just don't want to give in. But what happened tonight is a lesson that I may no longer have a choice!

    ♥You, dear friend,

  4. TidyMom...

    I've never heard of them at all... However, a few weeks ago a woman at work was selling them to benefit her bowling league... If you google Butterbraid you can buy them on-line.

    If you cannot find it I can give you the information from the back of the package.

    Love to you!

  6. As you know the doctors cannot correct aging eyes.

    People over 40 that have 20/20 vision just hate the fact they
    have to put glasses on their nose.

  8. Welcome to the group of folks who keep a pair of reading glasses in the kitchen.

  9. I used to have to wear reading glasses to see the morning paper, now I can't read anything without them. If I forget them when I go shopping I can't read the price tags! Such a pain.
    My husband had laser eye surgery years ago and was delighted with the results. He does require glasses when reading however.

  11. Ok, that looks beautiful. I'm going to have to look into the Butterbraid thing. Why can't the kids in my neighborhood sell that for a fundraiser? Sure beats wrapping paper and candles!

  12. I always tell my in-laws, you know when you're getting old, when you have to take OFF the glasses to see. Cracks me up!
