Day Thirty-three: The boy and I baked… it’s a good way to wrap up this whirlwind week.
Hi there! I’ve been trying all week to “blog” words, not just pictures, and failing miserably at it. I like to do things in style. Anyhow, I have words and news and things to say—those are all different things, for the record.
I have music pounding in my ears, and usually that gets me on the road to words. But sometimes I just end up grooving—“faux drumming” the house down, Â much to IZ’s chagrin (can you believe actually marched into my studio and said, “That’s not writing!” The nerve!) Â Tonight, I’m having a hard time working past “My mouth you’re touching, your mouth is running. . . no loving, for nothing, nobody, knock my body out. . . ” Yeah. Actually, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s!
So, I’m going to keep chair dancing, it’s good for the soul, and let the words percolate for another day. Sometimes, you need to “ferment”, you know? And in the meantime, you can try out this brownie recipe from Dear Jillian. We substituted Agave (one for one with the honey) and they’re surprisingly good. Ignore the sodium numbers listed on the recipe, it’s clearly a typo! But I think the rest is accurate. In our convection oven these baked for 20 minutes and came out perfectly. However, wait until they are completely cool to cut—otherwise you’ll end up with the crumbly mess I got!
It’s hard to find words sometimes–I know!! My younger one is home this weekend, so it’s all a whirlwind. I forget how much I love her, yet how much she unsettles me!!
The brownies were suprisngly good considering they used apple sauce.
Nice! I use applesauce in a few recipes…I might give these a go.
Didn’t I read somewhere that when you enjoy something and it is really tasty you say Nom, Nom, Nom…
I would definitely eat them again!
It’s called ‘pre-writing’ and you have my permission to do it as long as you save me a brownie. You did save one, didn’t you, Kitty?
