The Sock Project

Thursday, December 23rd, 2004

Ah, today is the last day of the Accessories show at FIX. It was fun to have all the socks up, marching across the wall together (see pics at alizarincrimson.com) and everyone at FIX is super talented and super nice! Starting the second Saturday in January they will have a new show up–something about puppets–it sounds neat.

In honor of my dear sweet husband being out of town for the week I am posting one of his favorite recipe’s:)

Andrew’s Favorite Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Brownies

Ingredients:
2 ounces chopped unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9 inch square baking pan. Melt unsweetened chocolate either in microwave or in a double broiler. Be REALLY careful not to burn the chocolate!! Cool to room temperature.

In a large bowl mix butter and suger until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until incorporated.

In a small bowl sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix until just blended.

Now divide the batter between two bowls. Whisk melted chocolate into one batter and peanut butter into the other. Stir the peanut butter chips into the chocolate batter and chocolate chips into the peanut butter batter.

Spread peanut butter batter onto prepared baking pan. Carefully spread chocolate batter on top of the peanut butter batter. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until cake tester inserted into center of brownies comes out clean.

Enjoy!

Chalkboard Grocery List

Instructions:
This one’s pretty obvious–All you need is:

–Chalkboard paint (You can buy it in a bucket or in a spray can)
–Masking tape
–Something to paint (a board, a wall, whatever–in this case my bathroom door)

I took my door off it’s hinges and carried it to the back yard where I masked off the sides with tape and sprayed away. It only took 1 can of spray paint for the whole door:)
