Brownies

Who doesn't like brownies?? I had a craving for brownies one night but didn't have a box mix in the cupboard. I usually use a mix and people always compliment my brownies. I don't think that is really a compliment if all you did was add some water, egg and oil to a bag of brownie mix. Anyhow, I knew I had all the ingredients to make brownies from scratch, so I did. I used the recipe from Everyday Food. It was simple and lining the pan with foil made it easy to cut the brownies and made for quick cleanup. While they were good, I don't think I'd use that recipe again. The were very fudgy, which is good, but, they weren't exactly chewy. I like a good chewy brownie. Also, the flavor wasn't very strong. Usually brownies don't last long but we didn't even finish this batch. :(

The morning after


The morning after the pizza fail, I needed some comfort. So I made myself a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs and bacon and toast. It hit the spot. Amazing how sometimes the simplest things have the biggest impact.
