Saturday: brown sugar

Today I was making some PB cookies and opened up a new bag of brown sugar. It was as hard as bricks! I started looking on the bag to see if there was an expiration date, but wasn't really sure what I'd do if it was expired. Probably use it anyway. There was no expiration date, but there was instructions on how to soften it. Put a piece of bread over the brown sugar in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. I had some big chucks so microwaved it for a little bit longer, but it worked very well! Mixing the batter wasn't the arm-wrenching experience I had been anticipating.
