Nichijou : Relaxing Sunday

It's been a long week for me and I need a getaway. Where else other than my lovely kitchen? Everytime I'm there, I always feel the air of serenity surrounding me. It's place I go to when I feel angry, anxious, sad, bored, and even happy.

Since my bf is on his morning shift today, I figured I'm going to bake. I was going to bake a  cheesecake, but I didn't have any cream cheese. So, I opted for a brownies recipe. Not the steamed kind, the baked kind. 

While I was waiting for the brownies to finish baking, I read a magazine and listened to the radio. That's when I noticed that back when I was in high school, I can't even read a magazine and listened to a radio, while a cake or cookie is baking. I'm getting old, urgh --"

After a good 25 minutes in the oven, the brownies are done.

I cut the brownies after cooling them for a good 2 hours after they got out of the oven. I saved the good looking ones. ^__^

I tried to take a picture outside, but apparently the sun is too harsh causing VERY CLEAR shadows.

This recipe resulted in a moist and very chocolate-y brownies. It's a mix between cakey and fudgy texture. I think I overcooked it slightly, I'll try again next time. 

Since I'm not doing anything else today, I washed my brushes, hanged them from a wire hanger and covered them in ladies sanitary napkins. Pantyliners, you know. Sorry if it grossed you out. ^_^
