I know what you're thinking...
How can this simple box
of Brownie Mix -
(not just any brownie mix
but Duncan Hines - the best you can get)
become a trainwreck?
Well....I can explain.....
You know that my back is quite sore,
and I really needed, I mean needed
C-H--o-c-o-L-a-T-E!
So, I know that Aleve is not mind-altering,
at least I hope not, (or I should not be
held responsible for any task that
I may have completed at all this past week)
Well, maybe if I took about 15
of them in one day... they me be
mind-altering.
I attempted to make brownies.
I wanted the chewy ones,
I added the eggs, the oil, then I added
1-1/4 cup of water. What a doofus!
It was brownie soup!
I thought I could salvage it by adding
more dry ingredients, flour and cocoa powder.
Then I added milk chocolate chips
for more sweetness.
The batter thickened up nicely.
Right? Not!
Although, this looks delicious,
It is in reality a chocolate-y frosted
Brick!
Disguised as a brownie!
At least it's chocolate.

As a side note, our hygenist Tara
pulled me aside and gave me a really intense
backrub today and I think she cured me!
I took a total of 3 Aleve today
and I feel like I am back to the land of the living!
THANK YOU TARA!!!!!!
I may even get a decent night's sleep tonight!

So glad your back is better--now DO NOT break a tooth on the brownies! Seriously, I think pain interrupts your thought processes. It can make you tired, crazy, and possibly ill tempereded :)
Oh, girl...I've made so many cookies and etc that turned into bricks, i could have made a Cookie House...could you at least LICK them ?? Chocolate is chocolate! lol
I hope your back is better soon...not fun! I wanted some brownies yesterday too... but haven't made any..yet! Happy Foodie Friday! Have a great weekend ~ Susan

Robyn, that sounds like something I would do! LOL! Was it edible? If it's chocolate, I would be using a pick ax to eat it if need be! ;-)
XO,
Sheila :-)
That is hilarious. I make these brownies all the time for my husband. They are his favorites. I would here about it forever if I did that!
Oh girl, you are not alone. Been there done that.
I sure hope the back rub worked! I just hate trying to sleep when my back is hurting - no comfortable position. The brownies sure LOOK delicious. laurie
Hey, as long as they are on the chewy side, I love chocolate bricks!
Robyn your bricks look delicious haha. I tried brownies once as usual for me they were a disaster.
I am so happy your back is feeling better thanks to your wonderful friend, back paid is no fun and it's the weekend, happy days, Kathy.
Sorry about your brownie bricks. I've done a few like that myself. I remember one time that I forgot to put the eggs in and I already had it in the oven so I pulled it out and tried to add the eggs. Ugh!
Sorry to hear about your back, but glad that it sounds like you are on the mend. This reminds me of my first foodie friday trainwreck post - bricks, hockey pucks, whatever, if they have chocolate in them I'll probably try to eat them! Kathy
I might not be able toget back for your Saturday post...so...Happy Pink Saturday ~ I hope you have a great weekend ~ Susan
I'm glad you're at least feeling a bit better...I hope you continue to improve...because ruined brownies....THAT IS TRAGIC!!!
