Denver Brownies
These are sooooo good. I think these may rank as one of my favorite of Maida's numerous brownie recipes (my favorites are the Palm Beach Brownies and the Santa Fe Brownies ). Maida Heatter says she got the recipe at a television station in Denver and was told that Julia Child had raved about them. I can see why. 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1/3 cup honey 2 tbsp. water or coffee 4 oz. (1 stick) unsalted butter, in pieces at room temperature 6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped 1 tsp. vanilla extract 2 eggs 1 1/2 cups (6 oz.) walnuts or pecans, cut into medium-sized pieces 2 tbsp. bourbon, brandy, or rum Preheat oven to 325. Line a 9-inch square pan with foil. Butter the foil and set aside. (Note: It is helpful to cut the foil large enough so that it drapes over the sides of the pan. This will make it easier to remove from the pan). Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Place the honey, water or coffee, butter and choco
I would certainly give that room in my garden; wonderful photo.

I have some growing by a Russian Sage plant. I didn't know it was widely known as a good place for them. It happened quite by accident here no doubt. I have never heard them called leopard plants either. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I love orange in the garden.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful lily!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a delicate orchid for some reason...
I had a picture of this lily on my blog a few weeks ago. I didn't know what it was. Tina from In the Garden blog, told me it was a Blackberry Lily. Sometimes my neighbor plants things in my garden to surprise me. He is away on vacation for a few weeks, so I have not been ablr to ask him if it was him. Thank you for posting the info on it.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe your blackberry Lily is already blooming. Mine do not even have a hint that a bloom is coming. Isn't is strange how things can flower in one area weeks before one farther south?

Thanks all! Skeeter, it does look like an orchid, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteGail, I've never seen the yellow in person. They sell it here - http://www.lazyssfarm.com/Plants/Perennials/B%20files/B_images/belamcanda_hello_yellow.htm
I've ordered from this nursery and they have nice, healthy plants.
It is a show stopper. I think these would look good at the back of my shed. We get strong morning sun there but shade in the afternoon. I might give a try. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteNow how wierd, I just took a pic of mine yestersay, to post later this week! They are pretty aren't they?
ReplyDeleteIt looks a bit like toad lilies doesn't it? I tried it once but had no luck. Urrr. Sure is pretty.
