Fall Break Inspired Fun...

Hey guys,

So I was thinking about Fall Break this coming weekend, and food always plays a major part in my trips home because my mom and I love cooking, watching food network, trying new recipes etc. I've attached a link for one of our all-time favorite recipes. Its from Ina Garten on the Food Network. She's absolutely amazing.

This particular recipe is for "Outrageous Brownies" which are super chocolaty and even have coffee in them. They're really rich, but very good. And here's the funny part... they taste best out of the refrigerator, not from the oven. The first time my mom and I made them, we wanted to try them while they were still hot, as you do with most brownies. We didn't really like them, but put them in the fridge anyways to keep them (Come on, a whole tray of brownies, you just can't let that go to waste!) And then when we tried them later we loved them!! I'm sure this love of the brownies cold relates somehow to taste and the flavors in them, which we talked about this week. I think it also has to do with tecture.

Enjoy!!
