Brownie Madness

This morning I woke up at 10:30 and went to work making 6 batches of  Cocoa Brownies with Browned Butter half of those batches also having walnuts. Around 5:30 this evening I actually finished all of those brownies.




As you can see my plating skills are not the greatest, but that is one of the many reasons why I am going to school. Anyways, the brownie extravaganza started because Daniel and Raul had asked me to make them brownies and then next thing I new my mom needed brownies for work, along with my dad and my amazing husband Jon. So I decided to just do them all at once. Earlier this week I bought a Perfect Brownie pan for the occasion and was thrilled to get the chance to give it a work out.




After baking 6 batches of brownies I must say this is the best "As Seen on TV" product I have ever used. It actually worked and made my day much easier since the brownies were cooked pre-cut. It was great. Well I am exhausted from my day and I plan on snuggling in front of the TV and playing some video games before I head back to school tomorrow.

Back to Cooking

Well yesterday and today has been spent getting ready to head back into the kitchen. Yesterday I did laundry and was greeted with the typical cooking class laundry fiasco, a giant mess of apron knots.



Today I went through and cleaned out my backpack in the normal fashion as well. I still have a handful of things left to do, but I am mostly ready for class on Monday. I am so excited to get back into the kitchen, but most of all I am thrilled to finally be in the one and only baking and pastry class in my associates degree program. I know the majority of this class is going to be bakery basics but I am still thrilled. Anyways, I should get going since I need to be up pretty early in the morning so I can make 6 batches of brownies for my family tomorrow.
