Ammonia smell in coop-first time owner

The Brownies were an absolute triumph - will certainy be doing those again.

[Seagazer]

I made the brownies today, first time ever. They are delicious but I think that I needed to cook them for a couple of minutes more.

 

I don't think the boys will be worried about it though.

[Egluntyne]

I knocked a batch of these together this morning.

 

Heavenly...and quite possibly the easiest recipe I have ever used for brownies. Quality control on the first three gives them a definite thumbs up.

[chickencam]

looks like we need to give them a go then, we have always used HFW recipe which is seriously rich.

[Seagazer]

My hubby said that they are the best bit of baking I've done - I'm a bit upset as they are sooo easy to make, should I take it as an insult to the rest of my baking?

 

Off to buy some more chocolate today

[Egluntyne]

They taste even better the next day. I did a bit more quality control at breakfast time.

[Seagazer]

I must admit I've never known any of the cakes to disappear quite so quickly - I went to get myself a piece last night as a little treat and all that was left was the greaseproof paper what a disappointment!

[Sunshine]

Well i decided to get it from the library first so i could see how aga friendly the recipes are. I can collect it now but i won't get into the library before it shuts at 1pm I'm hoping i'll have chance to get it on Monday all this talk of lovely brownies is making me hungry!

Did you lick the paper?

[The Dogmother]

Lesley would have sniffed it!

[Lesley]

I probably would have eaten it!

[The Dogmother]

spoken like a true lurcher!

[Lesley]

I don't have the build for a lurcher

 

Wasn't this thread about cakes once

[Egluntyne]

I can't remember.....and I started it.

[sunshinesupernova]

dying to have a go at this one - but had no cream in the house this morning. Made a chocolate and ginger brownie instead with a chocolate and ginger cream cheese frosting. Sounds strong - but it was actually very subtle and very yummy.

 

Unfortunately, instead of taking it into work this am - I ened up having to take Oliver (17months) to A& E instead - so it's still in the fridge (minus a square)

[Seagazer]

S-S I hope Oliver is ok.

[sunshinesupernova]

Thanks Seagazer. He's better at the moment - hopefully no more hospital trips until the organised one next month..

[Sunshine]

Well i finally made it to the library and have got the book! Had a quick flick through and everything looks so yummy! I love that it has pictures of everything as well-something to aim for!

 

I'm thinking i'll have a go at the brownies tomorrow or maybe Sunday so if (a big if) there are any left we can take them down to my cousins that we are staying with next week!

I made brownies for the first time today using the recipe from this book. They are easter presents but we've had to try some for quality control purposes and they are very
