YNAB is a budgeting program called You Need A Budget.

My only to-do tonight is to go to the damn gigantor liquor/party store in Northern Kentucky to replace my dad's Christmas present that I dropped and broke last night (a Budweiser holiday beer stein). Budweiser has a new design every year and he collects them. I've been getting them for him for literally decades, and this is the first time I'm dropped and broken one.

It's just -- going to the gigantor booze store the week of Christmas is going to be scary. OTOH, I need wine anyway.

Dinner was soft-boiled eggs and a GF bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon. And I want more eggs. They are tasty as hell.

Oh, wait -- I do have one more to-do item: make 7-layer bars (also called Dream Cookie Bars, etc.) -- the ones with condensed milk, chocolate chips, coconut, etc. The regular recipe uses graham crackers, but I found a GF recipe today that subs out the graham crackers for rolled oats. And suddenly they sound like a divine cracky combo of a no-bake cookie and a Samoa Girl Scout cookie. Must. Make. Tonight.

also called Dream Cookie Bars, etc.

Heh, I have to make those, too, but not until next week. We call them Magic Cookie Bars. I first tasted one in college from a care package that my friend shared with me. They were, in fact, magical. And still are. Maybe I'll make two batches. One to share; one to hoard.

Aren't there GF graham crackers? I'm pretty sure I've seen them in grocery stores.

Magic cookie bars! That's right -- magic; not dream. Although someone somewhere may call them Dream Cookie Bars. I'm very intrigued by making them with oats, though.

I just put 5 loaves of chocolate chip pumpkin bread in the oven. That's right. 5.

That is QUITE impressive.

There are, but I don't have any on hand, and I didn't want to go to Whole Foods, and they're kind of disproportionately expensive (or more than what I'm willing to pay for graham crackers, which is silly when I consider what I pay for GF chocolate chip cookies).

I just put 5 loaves of chocolate chip pumpkin bread in the oven. That's right. 5.

Dang! You SO win! Your house is going to smell SO GOOD in about 15 minutes.

As am I. I will likely stay awake until reviews are posted. Unless you don't actually make them tonight; then I'll probably go to sleep. But I'd be a little sad.

It's like Christmas! Oh.

It already smells good. They've been in the oven almost 30 minutes now.
