I did not have time to make for the first round of the NFL draft, so I made up for it for rounds 2 and 3 – brownies with chocolate chip cookies baked in.

BTW, I loved the Bills pick of Maxwell Hairston last night.  Filled a need… and, ow cool was it to see him congratulate everyone who was drafted before him?  He will fit right in with Bills Mafia.
