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
Your garden even now is a beautiful sight.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lisa!
DeleteCallicarpa berries are just amazing in the winter garden. The first time I encountered them my jaw dropped. The shady path is fantastic in any season and aways a favorite.
ReplyDeleteI think your Mahonia may be soft caress...
So do I - I was captivated by one in our neighborhood when we moved here. They grew in the south too. You are right about the mahonia - I will add that info.
DeleteSo many lovely blooms, but I especially love that fountain grass. I see we share the 'Lady of Shallott,' a personal favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteI love that fountain grass. It is a dwarf and has stayed below 1 ft. tall.
DeleteYour November garden is beautiful with remaining blooms and so much color. I enjoyed the stroll!
ReplyDeleteThat aster is indeed a show-stopper! I've always coveted Callicarpa. although there's at least once species that my Sunset guide says will grow here (USDA 10b/11a, Sunset 24), I've yet to find it offered locally.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms!
ReplyDeleteAnd I enjoyed the two wider views of your garden!
November is not very bloomy for me either. That NOID Fuchsia ! I can't even count the number of them I've had that sport the label ' Assorted Fuchsia'. All my Asters are over so I'm interested in 'Monte Cassino'. It reminds me of my Aster divericatus -I really want to pop in a couple more Asters .
ReplyDeleteI envy your collection of Roses specially' Golden celebration'. It would be my pleasure if you participate in my Gardening link up party here at http://jaipurgardening.blogspot.com/2021/11/garden-affair-lycoris-lily.html
ReplyDeleteWho needs blooms when you have such wonderful texture and color still.
