Knitting at Mark's

After we finished our breakfast at Mark's Kitchen, we pulled out the knitting. Vicki just learned to knit and she is doing great! She is making a Noro garter stitch scarf now, and I told her she could make a similar sweater to the one she is wearing in no time!

Peppermint Brownies

With Christmas exactly 3 weeks from today (how did that happen?), I figured I should do something to "deck the halls"... we don't really decorate the house, and I haven't had the chance to feel any Christmas spirit... but these peppermint brownies did help turn my mind that way a bit :)

"In the Mint" Chocolate Brownies, from Vegan Cookies (the new one by the PPK ladies!) - adapted from the Espresso Fudge Brownies on pg. 130 :)

3 oz semisweet baking chocolate, chopped
5 tablespoons nonhydrogenated margarine (I used Earth Balance sticks)
2/3 cup sugar (I used natural cane sugar)
1/3 cup nondairy milk (I used almond milk)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 teaspoons peppermint extract
3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons Dutch cocoa powder
pinch of salt

Line an 8x8 square metal pan with aluminum foil (enough to turn over the side lips of the pan) Apply a non stick spray or grease with shortening. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place the chocolate and margarine in a large glass mixing bowl. Microwave at 50% for 2 minutes until chocolate is soft enough to melt in with the margarine when stirred. Stir until smooth and add sugar and combine.

In a liquid measuring cup, vigorously whisk together the nondairy milk, cornstarch and vanilla and peppermint extracts until foamy. Stir this into chocolate mixture, using a spatula, until combined. Sift in flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt until moistened. A few lumps are okay, so do not overmix. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, getting as much as possible and smooth out evenly to the edges of the pan.

Bake for 22 to 24 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted into the center and comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs (no gooey batter!). Place the pan on a wire rack and cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Makes 12 brownies.

Knit Sleeve Competition

Olympic sweaters face off!

Kris's ivory cuff vs. my navy cuff! (but this is 2nd sleeve for Kris and 1st for mine, so there is an edge! ...of course, I am knitting them both, so I am really just competing with myself)
