Trial Run

I will be honest, I follow a couple of blogs (I justify it as my source of naptime entertainment)…one of my favorites is www.flythroughourwindow.com.

A few months ago, one post was totally devoted to this mom’s liking of her “Perfect Brownie Pan”.  She talked about using it to make brownies and other treats for her small group which left me quite intrigued, I’ll admit, I watched a couple utube videos about it. I mentioned the pan to C and he pretty much laughed it off, or I thought he did…

UNTIL…

I unwrapped my birthday gift and discovered by very own “Perfect Brownie Pan”! C really did a good job of listening and then locking the gift idea away.

So today, B joined me in the kitchen and the two of us took the pan for a little test run, to see if it was all that was cracked up to be?

        

B made sure I read the instructions…

We talked about the ingredients as I took them each out of the pantry and refrigerator…

B helped me pour the water and oil into the mixing bowl…

B was quite fascinated by the “all natural” chocolate mix…

He stirred…

Watched the batter get poured…

And even tried to sneak a taste of some of the batter (though I was faster and wiped it off his little hand before he got a taste).

 

Afterwards, he helped me wash the bowl, measuring cup and spatula…

He even helped dry!

In the brownies went…

In effort to make time pass as the brownies baked and cooled, B found some fun outdoor entertainment…

After B’s fingers and toes turned into raisins we came inside to see if the brownies were cool enough to taste?

It was like magic…

And they tasted good too!

B took my lead and agreed that milk is the perfect pairing for an afternoon brownie!

All in all, I am pretty impressed by my gift…a little silly, maybe…BUT, in all honesty I really am looking forward to using it to make treats for our small group and for other visitors who may make their way over to our neck of the wood.

Happy Tuesday!

Be blessed.
