What are you doing today?

Oven @ 325

In double boiler melt;

1oz 70% chocolate (get the highest quality you can. 50-60% can be a replacement if you like a slightly more sweet brownie. I highly highly suggest Icelandic Sirius Noir brand chocolate for these brownies. Tcho chocolate comes in a decently close second)

1oz cocoa powder

8 tbsp butter

once melted take off heat and cool a bit then mix in;

3/4 cup sugar

then mix

2 eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp salt

then add

1/4 cup flour

Butter/flour line a 8in square pan

add batter

bake for 40mins

eat

If you put that ganache/icing on these brownies and you will probably be charged for manslaughter since people will die from deliciousness.

EDIT: suggestions on what chocolate to get.

Hey y’all! Sorry I’ve been gone for a while! I’ve been taking a break from the internet lol. I’ve been getting out of shape and decided to pick up my bmx bike again for the first tome in 5 years! Also built up some dirt jumps on my property. Got some laps in this afternoon!

I’m hobbling around the house and playing computer games as I recuperate from surgery. Throwing is too painful unfortunately.

(Had a large lipoma removed from my ribs. General anesthesia is a wonder of modern medicine!)

After five weeks, I’ve finished gnawing on the Jamon Iberico leg. Sawed it up and popped it into the Instapot to make bone broth. The house smells good.

That looks like it’s going to be as nutritious as it is delicious!

I ground my own beef and baked some potatoes last night. This evening I will be making Krabby Patties (MSG-seasoned burgers), and slicing up those baked potatoes for French Fries. It will be the most preparation and work I’ve ever put into burgers and fries. Pray for me.

Nice! Ironically, I just purchased the meat grinder attachment for my Kitchenaid. I’m planning on stuffing sausages once the casings come in. Good luck with the burgers!

Suggestion; Grind the beef with some white miso.

Storytime. So there is a bar in Cambridge Massachusetts call Cragie on Main. It is an attachment to the restaurant Cragie on Main. Their burgers are good. So good in fact, that back in the day, people would not go to the restaurant but to the bar because of that burger. So to not lose money on the restaurant, they will only make 16 burgers any given night. I’ve had one. I’m a lover of burgers, and that one burger made me forget what any other burger tasted like. I seriously could not remember what any other burger tasted like. Their burgers have depth of flavor. They put white miso in the burgers. I’m going to guess about a tbsp per pound of beef.

Nice! I am making a simple facsimile of the first burger in this video. What you’re describing sounds like the gourmet version, which I also plan on trying in the future when I have even MORE time.
