Tasty Treat

It's been a long winter in Arkansas.  Then, thunderstorms rolled through this afternoon reminding us that spring is on the way!  For the weekend, try these easy brownies as a quick and tasty treat.

Rich Brownies

1/2 cup mini-marshmallows
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cpu chopped pecans.

Prepare brownie mix according to package directions, folding in marshmallows, morsels, and pecans.  Spread batter evenly into a greased 8-inch square pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 28 minutes.  Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack; cut into squares.

Enjoy!!

World Press Award

Here's a great discussion topic for all levels of journalism students.  Attached is the link to the photo of Bibi Aisha, the Afghan girl whose nose was cut off by her husband.  It was the World Press Photo Award winner for this year.  It is a great personality profile photo that also captures a human rights tipping point that all students of current events need to know.
