My social life gets a shot in the arm tomorrow - 3 parties, if you can believe it! Office picnic at 1:00, a surprise 40th birthday party later in the afternoon, and a part at my cousin's house in the evening.

I've been assigned to bring a dessert for the evening party, and I'm going to make two things, I think. A sort of a cream puff ring, with chocalate glaze on top, and these Guinness brownies (second to last recipe). Mmm.
