At the kids' request, we made brownies this morning in celebration of Labor Day and because Gramma Sue recently sent us a box in the mail. The kids got hooked on making brownies this year while we were at the beach where they set a record of three batches of brownies in one week. (That's a lot of brownies!)
Growing up, my brother and his friends regularly gathered at our kitchen table around a bowl of brownie mix and a pile of spoons. Let's just say that there was never a reason to preheat the oven back in those days! My mom showed them how to omit the eggs from the mix and they could eat spoonfuls of ooey, chocolately goodness to their heart's content while my mom was spared the worry of salmonella.
It's almost twenty years later, and here are my kids sitting around our kitchen table enjoying a similar eggless batch of raw brownies. They just love taking turns stirring and eating the batter. After they've had their fill, I add the eggs and pop what's left of the batter into the oven. As you might be able to guess from these picture, they haven't exactly mastered the discipline of the single dip as so at least for the time being, we're keeping these brownies within the family!
