miscellaneous monday

miscellaneous monday at the whimsey project. our day to share miscellaneous, stuff that comes to mind, bright ideas and so forth.  share some of your miscellaneous here at the whimsey project.

it's memorial day.  typically considered the beginning of summer. people have picnics at memorial day. i attended one. the menu was standard american fare: hot dogs, hamburgers, baked beans and potato salad.  watermelon, cantaloupe and brownies for dessert.  yes, brownies.

brownies seem to be the unofficial official picnic dessert.  my contribution to the meal was the brownies. it got me thinking about brownies; some like the soft inside, some like the balance between the soft and the crust (that touches the sides of the baking pan) and some just like the crust. some like chewy, fudgy brownies and others like them more like cake. there's a preference for icing or no icing. naked brownies or dressed brownies, which would be a dusting of powdered sugar or no powdered sugar. some like them plain, others like them with additional ingredients like nuts. some like milk chocolate and some like dark chocolate brownies. some like them with a scoop of ice cream or just out of the pan.

me? i like fudgy, chewy brownies, the balance between the crust and soft, no icing, naked (but won't quibble about a dusting of powdered sugar), dark chocolate with additional ingredients like nuts, chocolate chips, coconut.  with or without a scoop of vanilla ice cream. how do you like your brownies?

  1. Anyway they are prepared! Well, except for nuts, not a fan of those, but I wouldn't turn a brownie down because it had nuts. I especially like fudgy, chewy brownies with dark chocolate. But, I will eat any. After all, they are chocolate!
