December 8, 2013: The food holidays of December continue with National Brownie Day! Since all of the cookies from National Cookie Day have probably been scarfed up at this point, it’s time to make some brownies. I’ll even allow blondies, if that’s your preference.

It’s also Pretend To Be A Time Traveler Day, and boy howdy, did I have a lot of time travelers to choose from. All of the Doctors Who! Marty McFly! Terminators both metal and liquid, and their friend Kyle Reese! That creepy Eric Bana in both The Time Traveler’s Wife and the Star Trek reboot! Hermione Granger, thanks to her time turner! Heck, even my fantastic husband Scott has written a book that involves time travelers (Off to Be the Wizard, shameless plug ahoy!). In the end, I opted for the Tom Baker Doctor Who, because of the cool scarf, and Spock (who time traveled in both Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home AND the Star Trek 2009 reboot, as well as the Star Trek: The Original Series episode “City on the Edge of Forever”), because Spock pretty much trumps everyone else.
