Fresh Air, Sunshine, and Chuck
Today was beautiful! Sunny and warm, about 64 degrees. Instead of going to the gym, my friend Katie and I walked and jogged on Katy Trail in Dallas. We pass by a Pinkberry on our way there. Has anyone ever been? It's a frozen yogurt place (I think) AND I WANT ONE.
When I got home, I asked Nick how the brownies with green Bailey's frosting were. He said the brownie part was really good, but the frosting was too thick. A wall of icing. An icing fortress. So when he dishes them out, he flips them upside down and eats the brownie part and leaves most of the frosting.
I can't believe I married someone who doesn't eat frosting. What was I thinking? I also found out that some of the brownie didn't cook all the way, but it still tastes insanely good. I will pretend I did this on purpose and call it a chocolate chip fudge sauce brownie.
The recipe for the Bailey's frosting goes a little something like this:
1 stick of room temp. unsalted butter
3 cups confectioner's sugar
3 or 4 Tablespoons of Bailey's Irish Cream
What you do is, you first beat the hell out of the butter with an electric mixer. Then you add the Confectioner's sugar, tablespoon by tablespoon. Which means basically, add a tablespoon. Beat with mixer completely. Add a Tablespoon. Beat with mixer completely. And I add each Tablespoon of Bailey's between each cup of sugar.
And apparently, don't slather a whole bowl of it onto an 8x8 glass cooking dish of brownies, depending on who you're married to.
Also, I just saw the most recent episode of Chuck since my DVR decided not to record it on Monday. (Yay Hulu!) This is such an amazing show. I love everyone in it. I won't give out any spoilers just in case. Just know that my feelings on this episode is 'OH NO, WHYYYYYYY?! And HOOOOOOOOOW?! Also, NOOOO YOU CAN'T! and COME BACK!'
