It was Karin's wedding last weekend. Karin is Matthew's elder sister.
Karin is an extremely high maintenance person. And it kind of intimates the low maintenance of me who has no problem staying at home doing nothing and not speaking to anyone for a whole day. Not happening to Karin's life at all. Not one single day. Being energetic, passionate, funny, resourceful, friendly and socialized, Karin is a core piece of the family puzzle. And I believe those characters have made her a very successful business woman.
It's Karin's second marriage. The beautiful wedding aside, there were also moments where I witnessed how a mother shared the joy of this life event with her daughter. It sucks when the first marriage doesn't work. But that's exactly what Karin would do - mend your broken heart, get yourself ready to move on with your life. Be brave to embrace what comes next.
Love you, Karin and Brian.

Yep, I too shouldn't be browsing food blogs before breakfast! I feel like I could pluck one of those beauties right off the screen!
Why are desserts so popular.....ummm probably because I've been trying to limit my sugar intake and these look so innocent and delicious and easy and quick ...I'm doomed! ~Mary

These look SO FREAKIN GOOD. I wanna try one. Right now.
Very similar to a recipe my family has made for years called Hot Ziggerty Nut Bars....except we use pecans and only brown sugar. They are the best and I know your version would be awesome as well!
