O.K. Roberta and Jenna,
Let me tell you about my Brownie experience!!! I am starting a new thread as your posts about brownies was all mixed up in other posts.
Super Bowl Sunday I was telling my DH he should have picked up some snacks to watch the game with. I had not been doing much grocery shopping for the last couple of weeks as I was toooo dang busy. He told me I should run downtown---Yeah, Right!!! It is 10 miles to the nearest grocery store and it was only 30 minutes to kick-off. Didn't think so!!!!
Went into my pantry and found a Brownie Mix. So being a dutiful wife I took pity on his Sweet tooth. I had the water and oil mixed up--reached into the refrig to grab an egg. AHA---NO
eggs. I figured what the heck's---what could one lousy egg do to a receipe. Stirred the brownies up and baked them anyway. Well, let me tell you----the edges of those brownies around the pan were harder than the dog biscuits we use for treats for our dogs. The middle looked like chocolate syrup you would put on ice cream. DH suffered thru the middle ones. They were Horrible!!!!
I guess one
lonely egg has a lot to do with how they turn out. I was laughing so hard. Told DH I did not promise him a good cook when we got married. Now I can't even bake brownies from a Mix, for goodness sake. Seeing as how Pot is legal in our State---Perhaps I should have added that to my brownies. LOL LOL LOL.
Hope you all are staying safe and warm. Jenna, thank goodness, you have power. So many in Mass do not.
Hugs all
Jan.
