brownies.

woot! i am making brownies and writing a new blog post. i have about a hundred other things i should prolly be doing at this moment, but i really just want to make some brownies. which is actually very odd seeing as brownies by definition are tasty morsels of rich cake made up of lots of chocolate  or   benevolent elfs that haunt houses and do chores secretly. i have to admit i wouldn't mind the latter 'cause well i could use a house-cleaning-elf, but it does make sense contextually for me to be making a wee brown man and i've only ever made brownies of the bakery kind. anyways sorry for the willow/harry potter tangent on fairy creatures, and back to the point. it's odd for me to make brownies without a purpose for making them, sure some people find them tasty, but i don't particularly enjoy brownies anymore...they tend to cause me massive headaches. 

you see i am one of the rare unlucky peoples who get chocolate headaches, dun dunt duhhhh. the older i've gotten the worser these headaches get, and so i don't eat brownies often since lots of chocolate=lots of headache and as stated above brownies are made from lots of chocolate. 

dang! i ate some of the batter...and i can feel the headache coming on. i was really hoping it wouldn't happen this time. like when an anemic person craves red meats cause they are low on iron, i was hoping that i was having the urge to make brownies because my body was trying to tell me i can eat chocolate like a normal person again, but alas: fail. perhaps there is someone besides me that needs brownies and my urge to create the chocolaty goodness is so that i might be prepared to bring them the gooey wonder. (if this person is you- please let me know, k thanks)

brownie batter reminds me of another thing. . .how much i wish that the whole don't eat the batter or you'll get sick thing was a myth. i mean wouldn't it be like those old wives to tell the tale of "children don't eat the batter or you'll get ill" merely because they didn't want all the batter to be gone before they could bake anything? seriously i'm waiting for the myth busters episode that says go ahead eat it.* but because the little old women have not yet been disproved i continue to try my hardest not to eat batter of any kind. a  jeannette tid-bit: mix in the water and oil first, eat as much of the non-salmonellae batter as you want, then mix in the eggs ;) 

.beep.

well thats my brownies ready to be taken out of the oven, so i gotta go. i'll be sure to add some pictures before posting this, mostly because ya all need to see something besides that photo of me with a green tongue (warheads post reference).

19. brownies they may be chocolaty and cause headaches, but they are still tasty and bring joy to others. 

*disclaimer: batter that contains raw or lightly cooked eggs may cause illness due to the slight risk of salmonella and other food-bourne illnesses.
