Jon's food weakness has to be chocolate. He gets a bag of dark chocolate baking bits and then just eats them! When I was growing up, eating baking bits got me in big trouble- they were 'expensive' and only to be used in baking. If I wanted candy, I'd have to wait until Halloween or Easter. Now, every time I bring chocolate into the apartment, it gets eaten up before I can bake! The only thing that is safe is unsweetened cocoa powder. Now that we are out of chocolate, and I am NOT buying any more because I'm on an either-make-it-myself-or-go-without binge, I had to get creative to satisfy Jon's craving with what I had. SO:
Kahlua Brownies
I substituted the boiling water for some of my homemade kahlua, because I want to use that stuff up. They are in the oven now, and I can't wait to see how they are!
I had wanted to make crackers today, but Jon called and wants me to come over and help him paint a sign for my parents' farm. (The farm has been in my family since my great-grandparents, and they've never had a sign! We don't even really know what the farm name means because the name came from my ancestors' farm in Scotland!) Tomorrow, I hope to fit them in as well as make bread for another week.
