so no lamenting about the brownies
I whipped up a batch of brownies this morning before I left for work. As it was first thing in the morning, I substituted coffee for the Guinness because it was at trifle early to finish off a half bottle of beer (outside of Pennsic). I also added 3 tablespoons of cocoa to the flour. I can probably cut that back to 1 1/2 or 2 tablespoons next time. The taste is nice, very rich, but I need to do something about the texture. It's cakier than I like them. Less cakey than the ones I made in Buffalo, but not quite as gooey as the ones I'd been making here. I suspect that when I get home tonight, they'll be fine.
In other news, still warm brownies for breakfast = win and flavor.
