234/356: Baking Brownies

This is one of the first's I am really glad I did.

I baked brownies last Friday and today (Wednesday) I am still eating them. I didn't get the ready to bake stuff at the grocery store but store but took the time to look for a good recipe and I think the result speaks for itself. Naturally they didn't turn out perfect on the first try but they taste really good and that must be the most important point.

I went wrong with the mixture somewhere and they turned out a little too moist. The difficulty was that it's an american recipe so the quantity was in cups and I am not used to that. Also too my shame, I still lack some kitchen gear in that department. To my defense, my kitchen really has no space for more things.

186/356: Baking Cookies

The last Saturday I a tried to bake cookies.

I am a bit ashamed to admit but I but the dough all done. So I only had to make the shapes and put them in the oven. And surprisingly I still messed it up. In my defense, I bout the dough already done because I didn't want to buy all the kitchen utensils that I was missing to bake properly.

As I mentioned, I still managed to fail. I have never made cookies so I thought they had to be hard on the outside to indicate that they are done. Well I was wrong. Seems like it is OK for them to be soft... soooo the cookies turned out to be something for people with good teeth. They are still yummy but I am a little afraid I might chip my teeth on them.

I will have to try again before Christmas time is over. My ego demands it.
