Recipe of the day
Marshmallow fudge brownies
Ingredients/stuff you need:
1 & 1/4 sticks unsalted butter
1 & 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup of white sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
1 bag of mini marshmallows
double boiler; sauce pan with an inch of water and a heat safe bowl on top.
13 x 9 in. baking pan, greased and floured.
How to put that stuff together:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Melt the butter in a double boiler then add the sugars.
Sift the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda and salt together and then stir into the butter sugar mix. Once combined, remove from the heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the vanilla extract and then add to the mixture.
Stir in the mini marshmallows and scrap into the greased and floured baking pan. Be sure to even distribute the batter. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. Toothpick test should be a little bit stick on the end of the toothpick. The top of the brownies will be dry and golden brown from the marshmallows. The pan will feel heavy. Once the brownies set, it won’t be runny.

Today after long morning, I needed a caffeinated boast to finish out my day. I decided to treat myself to not-so well deserved iced caramel macchiato. As I approached the counter to order, I noticed that the iced drinks were slightly more expensive than the hot drinks. Seriously? I have to pay an extra 20 cents so the barista can dilute my drink. I was tempted to order a hot caramel macchiato and an ice cup so I could later dilute my own drink. I was a victim to my own practicality. I ordered the damn drink iced and paid the extra 20 cents for it. My only consolation was joking about the this stupid price with the barista. He was nice enough to upgrade my grande drink to a venti.

After much consideration and deliberation, I have decided to do craft service for Robert’s feature this summer. I am so stoked to do it! This is my first big project and I’m just hoping I will not disappoint.
I haven’t even received a budget yet and my mind is already racing with things that I need. I made lists; several lists actually about the what equipment I need, cast and crew allergies, and who/where I can get food donations. I really need to organize the crap out of this project.
