bismillahirrahmanirraheem..
assalamu'alaikum wrt wbt

semalam jam 1030pm si anak dara memberitahu kepada ibunya:
"ummi! kakak lupala! esok ada jamuan!"
ibu yg blur pun tanya balik.. "dah tu?? kenapa?"
jawab si anak.. "kakak kena bawak apa2 lah.."
ya ampun.. dah nak tidoq baru dia teringat!
sambungnya lagi.. "kena bawak dua benda. satu berat satu ringan"
amboih.. oder macam oder kat caterer ja noo..
maka selepas tidurkan sikecik, peluk cium yg besar2..
si ibu pun bergegas turun kedapur.. jam di dinding 11pm
keluarkan daging hancur, rebus macaroni, sagat carrot..
hajatnya nak buat macaroni goreng sbg kategori benda berat
sementara tunggu macaroni lembut, layan doh roti jap dulu..
kemudian baru keluarkan cherry dan bahan2 lain utk brownies

can you spot the cherries? ce cari.. ce cari.. 

• 130g butter
• 150g 70%-cocoa chocolate
• 55g cherries, stoned and roughly chopped
• 55g roasted pecans, roughly chopped <-- saya guna almond nibs
• 225g caster sugar <-- saya letak 180g so, the top is not crusty enuff
• 55g cocoa powder
• 75g plain flour
• ¾ tsp baking powder
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 50g milk or dark chocolate, roughly chopped (optional)


1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4. Line a 20cm (8inch) square baking tin (or the equivalent) with baking parchment.
2. Melt the butter and 70%-cocoa chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water). Stir in the cherries and nuts, then take off the heat.
3. In another bowl, add the sugar, then sift in the cocoa powder, flour and baking powder. Add to the chocolate mixture and stir till well combined. Mix in the eggs. If using, stir through the chopped chocolate.
4. Transfer the mixture to the tin, then bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes. You want them a little gooey in the middle. Remove from the oven and cool in the tray, before cutting into squares.
