Brownies

[cjsmith]

No sooner did the kitchen get cleaned up than I had to go make it dirty again.

I chose to pitch pie number two, which is exactly the kind of thing that happens during futzing with a recipe, but still it never feels good to actually do it. (Pie number one is significantly depleted and won't last much longer.)

So I am assuaging my poor sad little feelings with a recipe I know never disappoints (and which needs absolutely no futzing whatsoever): Alice Medrich's "Bittersweet Brownies". MAN THOSE ARE GOOD.

Oh @#$!. The version of the recipe I just found online is noticeably different from the one in the book. FUTZING ALERT! DANGER, WILL ROBINSON! ...I think I can avoid it though. Looking at the ratios, the one in the book -- the one I've done so many times the book has a crease -- looks to me like it'd come out better.

Danger averted.

Brownies imminent.

Army - Signal Corps. Yay for you, making brownies for a care package. When I was in boot camp the best thing any of us could ever get was mail from home. Somebody in the outside world remembered we existed! I would have eaten shoe leather if it were in a care package.
