Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Today I am grateful to live in a home where the occupants place a priority on stocking the fridge and the pantry in such a way as to allow for (amongst other things) the spontaneous baking of a batch of home made, triple choclolate brownies.

Since I have been asked for the recipe by several people:

3/4 c. Hershey’s cocoa
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2/3 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. boiling water
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 1/3 c. flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. Hershey’s semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 bowl butter cream frosting

In bowl combine cocoa and baking soda. Blend 1/3 cup melted butter. Add boiling water; stir in sugar, eggs and remaining 1/3 cup melted butter. Stir until smooth. Add flour, vanilla and salt. Blend completely. Stir in chocolate chips.
Pour into prepared pan, 13 x 9 x 2 inches. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease pan. Bake 35-40 minutes. Cool completely. Frost with Butter Cream Frosting. About 3 dozen brownies.

Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat; set aside. In a mixer, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed for 10 minutes**. Blend in chocolate mixture, flour and salt until just mixed.

Delicious risotto

Cynthia has now added home made risotto to her cooking repertoire.

Risotto

She is amused by the response to the pork chop post. I pointed out that this is no less weird than the fact that several people have actually linked to the beer butt chicken post.

There’s no obvious rhyme or reason to what will and will not get a response around here.

Tuesday night is pork chop night

Yum!

It’s what’s for dinner

The Lone Star Beer
It looks quite queer
clap clap clap clap
Deep in the butt of chicken!

Cynthia has discovered a new recipe that has been working very well for us and I thought I would share.

It’s beer-butt chicken and it’s yummy!

All you need is a chicken, salt, pepper, olive oil, rosemary and a beer (any brand).

Clean the chicken and prep it by salting the inside just as you would if you were going to bake a chicken.

Open the beer and drain or drink 1/4 to 1/3.

Waste not, want not I always say!

Place the chicken over the beer can in a pan suitable for using in your oven.

Slather the chicken with liberal amounts of olive oil and rosemary.

Place in oven and cook as per instructions on the wrapper you chicken came in.

Remove when done

Come out perfect and is moist and delicious!
