How much...?

So, my obsession with numbers/counting continues... So, it's been a slightly more than a year since I moved into this apartment. And, I just renewed my contract to stay in the same place for another year. Guess, I'll try to save up some money and see what's next. Maybe I might decide to move into my own place next year. Maybe I might decide to move to another apartment next year.

So, in a year, I used about 1 liter of cooking oil. What else?
4 tubes of toothpaste,
4 toothbrushes,
48 rolls of toilet paper,
7 rolls of paper towel,
250 sandwich bags,
6 boxes of facial tissue,
300 bags of teabag,
4lbs of brown sugar,
...

Anyway, I wanted to start studying this weekend, but instead, I decided to procrastinate a little longer. To effectively do so, other than watching movies and sporting events, I came up with something even more creative. That is, to make brownies... (inspired by my manager a month back as a pick me up for us who were studying and a colleague who brought brownies in a couple weeks back,).

So, it turned out really well, much better than I expected.
The ingredients... Baking spray, marshmallow creme, chocolate fudge frosting, chocolate fudge brownie mix (not in the picture: a pinch of salt (even though it's not mentioned in the instruction, I was told by my mom that you need salt for whatever you cook/bake...), 2 eggs and 1/3 cup of cooking oil (which pretty much finished that liter of cooking oil).

Mix the ingredient and spread them onto a baking tray...
350 degrees and 29 minutes later... this is the semi-finished product... well, semi-finished because I decided to go fancy than just plain brownie...20 minutes later, when it's cooled down, I spread a thin layer of marshmallow breme on it.
Then, I add some chocolate fudge frosting onto it, spreading it with a butter knife in a circular motion to give that swirling effect...
To give it some room to be cut into slices, I took away about half an inch from the side so that I can have some sliding room for those cut slices so that they are well separated (also, so that I can eat that half inch that I took away). It came out really much better than what I expected it to be... Must be from all the watching my mom making all the cookies and cakes when I was growing up. Or just because I can follow instructions well... :-)

So, will let you know what my colleagues think tomorrow... Who knows, this might sprawl a bake-off...

Either way, I successfully procrastinated studying.
