Katharine Hepburn's Brownies
Katharine Hepburn's Brownies
8 tbsp. unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup roughly chopped walnuts (I used pecans)
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp. fine salt
1. Heat oven to 325F. Grease an 8"X8" baking pan with butter. Line the pan with parchment paper; grease the paper. Set the pan aside.
2. Melt the butter and the chocolate together in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir to make a smooth batter. Add the walnuts (pecans), flour, and salt; stir until incorporated. Pour the batter into the baking pan and spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool on a rack. Cut and serve.

Mom's Favorite Saying!!
My mom says that God will never give you more than you can handle, and I really try to believe this,
because sometimes I think that I've been given more than I can handle. But it seems that I do have a
real instinct to survive, and I'm way too proud to let anything stop me or get in my way. And I have

real instinct to survive, and I'm way too proud to let anything stop me or get in my way. And I have
way too many things to do on this Earth to let anything stop me.

The two and a half year old.
Scribbling stage
First disordered scribbles are simply records of enjoyable kinesthetic activity, not attempts at portraying the visual world.After six months of scribbling, marks are more orderly as children become more engrossed. Soon they begin to name
scribbles, an important milestone in development.
