yesterday was beautiful and sad. i find it odd it could be both. but that is how it felt. it marked the one year anniversary of losing a friend. i refused to go to that place in my mind that remembers how keith was taken from everyone. i did not think it deserved my time and energy. but the weather was warm, breezy. it was a helpful remedy to ease through the day. to help stay positive and think of the good stuff. i did some yoga with the windows open. the birds were alive and singing. it refused to be a crummy day for me. just wasn't happening. and i dont think keith would have wanted anyone's day to be crummy.....
speaking of crummy. i came home from work today with a headache. nothing that an aleve and some brownies can't cure. i was crrrraaaavvving chocolate. need it. want it. got to have it. i found a recipe for a vegan pan of the delish fudgy goodness that i thought looked interesting. one thing i did change - it called for 1 cup of water. you mixed this with 1/2 cup of flour over heat until it made a paste (odd i know, but it works). instead of water i used coffee. it enhances the chocolate flavor. also, you really need to use muscle to mix this "batter'. it was very much like a fudge texture the entire time, never runny or liquidy. i was a bit nervous before it made it into the pan, but..... i am eating the baked product as i type (well, sort of) and i have to say, scream and shout "THESE ARE POSSIBLY THE BEST BROWNIES EVERRRRRRRR! well, maybe not ever. maryann from the clipper makes a kick ass batch. but these are awesome. fudgy - check. moist - check. chocolate - check. i needed a huge glass of ice cold almond milk to balance the rich flavor. i think that is a win!
