Brownies for the Goddesses

Yep, I got an allrecipes email about brownies and just had to make them. Thankfully Kim & Co. had posted a nice looking brownie recipe a while back and Queen Scarlet had hooked me up with some much needed extract, so I got down to quick business. They are in the oven now. Can I just say the batter itself was DIVINE! I added some chocolate chips to the batter and I'll skip the frosting. I am really excited!


Yes they are good...but a bit more like cake...too much baking powder...doh!

Plus Masaki took a sick day for a painful back. His shoulder is WAY too tight because of the 4 international flights and cold weather. Luckily he was able to find a chiropractor and it seems to be helping a bit.

Oh and some pictures that wouldn't upload last night.

...and Sarah, ditto! I can't wait to hang out more next time we are in town.

Finding Nemo was on...can you tell?

Oh, and since we were super touristy in LA...the fountain by Grauman's Chinese Theater
