Last Thursday, we were having some pre-sundown play out on the lawn, when Kris spotted a 40-foot yacht sailing in to the Naitonitoni anchorage in front of the farm. "Hey, our friends are coming for dinner!" he said. "Huh?!" said I. And yes, they put down anchor here and motored to shore in their dinghy, a great big freshly caught fish in tow. I cooked up some garden fresh pesto & pasta while the men cleaned the fish, and we shared a delicious meal. We've been blessed to meet new friends Josh and Nelia, sailors of the Pacific, baby Claire, and Josh's brother Henry, and to share these past few days with them. I took a picture of my pesto making, but it was not recipe-sharing worthy. However I'm going to share my yummiest brownie recipe... sorry no photo since brownies never look like much more than a brown blob in photos. You'll just have to try it to see how fudgy it is! It has passed the Stice brownie testing squad, by the way.
Bomb-DIGGITY Brownies:
1 cup butter, melted
3 cups sugar (white or Fiji-style)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (or more!) semisweet chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C). Lightly butter a 9x13 baking dish
2. Combine the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each, until thoroughly blended.
3. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Spread the batter evenly into baking dish.
4. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick comes out clean, or about 35-40 minutes. Cool pan on wire rack before cutting.
5. Invite over your chocolate loving family and friends and indulge to your hearts' content.
Enjoy!
