Friday Recipe Blogging: Desperation Brownies

Here is a recipe I make when I am desperate. Either for something sweet just for GF and I (in which case I quarter the recipe), or when I don't have much time to make something that people will enjoy. It's a ridiculously easy resipe...and it might not have the, er, complexity of "better" brownies - but people don't care, do they. They looove chocolate, that's all that matters. And it's yummy!! People are always on about how good it is.

I have made these today because I am desperate...I have committed myself to bringing tons of food this weekend...GF and I are going to a close friend, A's, cottage with her and her new girlfriend. So today I've made a pasta sauce for dinner tonight, and muffins, and these brownies as a desperation-dessert for tonight. In between shopping for other foods to bring, and another errand, and pulling a job application together to send out today, and going for a long run because I was desperate for burning-lungs feeling (go figure). Gah - I can't wait to just veg at a cottage for 48 hours, with all this food.

Oh man - do I looooooove brownies! These look simple and yummy, my two favorite things.

Have a great time at the cottage and I hope the application bears fruit (or brownies - even better if they grew on trees).
