Maple Pecan Blondies

Here’s a blondie recipe that I have made many times!  Mine are never as gooey as Gemma’s and that’s probably because I over-bake them. I should keep a better eye on them next time.

Persian Style Spaghetti / Pasta (version 2)

Placing a towel between the pot and the lid not only creates a tight seal, it also prevents the condensation that forms inside the lid from dripping down into the pasta. This same method is used for making steamed basmati rice. Just make sure the edges of the towel are tied on top of the pot lid so they don't fall on the burner and catch fire.
