Sunday somethings

1. Julie introduced me to PicMonkey.

I’m a goner.

2. Have you seen this mathemagician? My husband and I were slack-jawed. My children cheered. (I howled at his Rain Man impersonation. I really must see that movie again. Soon.)

3. I forgot to alert you to my latest Kitchen Chronicles.

Better Brownies

If you prefer a lighter brownie, you can dial back the chocolate to 2 or 3 ounces.

½ cup butter
4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
½ cup flour

Melt the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat. Off heat,
stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Gently stir in the flour and salt.

Pour the batter into a greased 8×8 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25
minutes. The brownies should look underbaked—still jiggly in the middle
and only just beginning to pull away from the sides. A toothpick
inserted in the center should come out wet. (If it comes out clean,
you’ve gone too far and your brownies will be dry and crumbly.)

Delicious served slightly warm, with a scoop of coffee ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

    I'm glad you linked to the Kitchen Chronicles site again-I'd been meaning to add it to my feed reader and it was a perfect opportunity!

    Also, I constantly change recipes…including the ones that were passed down to me from my mom. She was baffled for a while as to why I'd go about changing something that was, in her eyes, evidently good. Now she just asks what I changed so she can try it too 🙂 Victory for daughters!
