For all the men out there who have lusted after me because of my alleged culinary skills, this should be a good reality check for you. No these ones aren't mine. This is the picture in the magazine, which promised me "fudgy", "gooey", "the best chocolate brownie ever".
Fudgy? Check. Gooey? Absolutely. But can it be described as a "brownie"?
Uuuhhh... So much for my career as a food stylist. The only possible salvage for this would be to toss is on top of some ice cream and call it "sauce".
Not a keeper.

Hmmm. The pictures do look a little different I must admit!
But what did yours taste like? Still good, with or without ice cream?
Hey, save this stuff! You could use it to re-create your own "9-1/2 Weeks" kitchen scene with. (Eat your heart out, Micky!)

I have those plates! Well, I used to have those plates - the ones with the pink hearts on them! They were my first plates when I moved in with CB rigt out of college! I got matching EVERYTHING! I kept the plates for years and finally parted with them. But I still have the pink hearts crock pot!
Those brownies kind of remind me of the dutch oven cake Mark and Edie made at CBC a couple of years ago. That was the one the potguts enjoyed so much.
Oh pooh.
At least the kids liked it =)
@ World: Good, but in the way that licking batter out of a mixing bowl is good...
@ John: Only if it's warmed up.
@ Elizabeth: You have them, I have them, and half the world has them. My quest for different "everyday dishes" is a blog entry all its own.
@ Shirley: The potguts would like this one, for sure. Their tiny tongues would cramp, though, trying to lick it up. Simon told me it has supplanted my biscuits as the Densest Matter in the Universe (DMU)and suggested that we use it to level the basement floor.
@ Seagrape: Yeah, Nathan chanted, "Keeper, keeper!" with chocolate smeared up to his evebrows.
...looks pretty pleasant to me...
That is like an everyday occurrence with me. My food NEVER matches the ones in the magazines.
I have ONE dinner that I am good at making (pork roast with honey mustard sauce and apple and onion garnish) and ONE dessert: chocolate chip cookies. Anything else and I am lost.
But, they do look gooey.....
Yeah...I hate to say...but they look really different...but HEY, as long as the kids like it! That's who you're feedin right???
Looks like blackies....
Glad to see I'm not the only one with some cooking challenges : ) Actually, a neighbor's child told me I cooked the best chicken nuggets she's ever had. Hmmmm...
Can't tell you what those brownies look like but I'm sure they tasted good. Chocolate is chocolate!!!
yummy i love brownies.
