Brownie Bowls – Nailed It

Bownie Bowls

Have you ever seen something on Facebook that someone made and figure that you could follow those easy steps and do it yourself? I saw a video of someone who made brownie bowls by placing a cupcake pan on top of another cupcake pan. So, I tried it. I greased the pans like crazy and they should have come apart with no problem but there were tons of problems. First of all, I must have put too much batter in the cupcake tin. The batter overflowed and dripped onto the bottom of the oven. I scooped it out with the grilling spatula but knocked some underneath and it caught fire. I shut off the oven so it would burn out and then started it back up. When the brownies were finished I figured I’d let them cool a bit before separating them. That was a mistake because I waited too long and while they would pop out of the bottom cupcake tray they would not come off the bottom of the top tray. I managed to mangle them all and we ate the crumbs with our ice cream. It still tasted good, but I would have liked to have gotten this right.

My Cookie!

Mondays and Tuesdays. Man, they are some tough days to get it together. We thought that we would be slick and crock pot a pork shoulder to make pulled pork but even with it being in for 8 hours it didn’t quite shred the way we wanted it to do. So we kept it going for another few hours and took a family walk to Weatherlaines for dinner. Monday night’s they have a discounted menu and it was nice to walk with the kids to the restaurant. We’ll be having pulled pork for the foreseeable future anyway.

At dinner Andrew was cute and sweet. He was articulate and clear with the waitress. After dinner he got a cookie, part of his kids meal, and shared it with everyone. He even shared it with Eva, who had her own cookie. He was also very sweet with the people next to us.
