My husband keeps a bowl of hershey kisses sitting near the computer (honest, he did this, not me), and I found myself reaching for one as I read your post. I think your brownie contest is a great idea, Have fun! Oh my, as someone who must have something chocolate every single day, this post was delicious.

Yes, it's my creative alternative to serving turkey for the holidays. I'd rather make eight batches of brownies and hold a contest. :) And then give them away to children who would rather eat brownies than turkey anyway. :) Must be my own Inner Child Projections. I love the portrait of you and your twin having hot chocolate with your aunt and grandmother. And, yes, isn't Mexican chocolate delicious?! Would love to have seen that doggie painting, btw... :) Kathryn xoxo Hi, Philip! Yes, it’s my creative alternative to serving turkey for the holidays.

I have never made many desserts personally, but I love your idea of having the fun of making them and then sharing them with a food bank! Hot chocolate is not brownies, but my twin brother and I were very proud of our chocolate mustaches growing up as we had cocoa ever morning. We also had it ever night when we stayed with my aunt and grandmother. I once painted a portrait our dogs sitting in wing chairs by the fire drinking hot chocolate as a gift to my aunt. :) In the 1970's we took a trip to Mexico and Patrick and I were "blissed-out" on Mexican hot chocolate: a rich infusion with whole milk, cinnamon and a bit of chile. :) Philip Hi Kathryn!

I'm convinced of that connection. The days get shorter as our appetite for chocolate increases. I’m convinced of that connection.
