The British Museum and Baking

Today, a few off us went to the British Museum. We took our time and slowly made our way there. We found the museum pretty easily and were ready to start our visit. Outside there were a ton of trucks with lighting equipment and there were signs everywhere telling people not to use flash photography. You see, today the crew for Night at the Museum 3 started filming. Unfortunately, we didn't see any one or anything important but it was still cool knowing what was going on. The museum was amazing. I was entirely too big for just the few hours we were there but we got to see some pretty cool stuff. Some of the more famous things we saw were the Parthenon sculptures and the Rosetta Stone. There was just so many artifacts that it's hard to tell you all about everything we saw. Also, Jill and I had entirely too much fun in the gift shop.

The Rosetta Stone.

After our adventure out, Jill and I tried to bake. We would have done an amazing job if the kitchens weren't so fussy. The first thing we made was Peanut Butter Cup Crack Brownies. The first step was to make brownies. That seemed simple enough until the oven decided that it wanted to burn the corners of the brownies while leaving the middle completely uncooked. We continued however and put broken peanut butter cups on top of the brownies and put them back in the oven. As the Reese's cups started cooking, rather than just melting, the brownies still refused to bake. We continued the recipe and finished with a mixture of chocolate, peanut butter and Rice Krispies on top. We aren't entirely sure if it all worked because we haven't been able to eat them yet. Tomorrow though, we will have a verdict. Then we made Rice Krispy Treats, or Marshmallow Fluff Treats as they are also known. After a lot of butter and weird smells coming from the microwave, our desserts were complete. The Rice Krispy Treats turned out pretty good so I have high hopes for the brownies.
