this morning i made the malt-o-meal:

here’s all that remains:

it was ok. the flavor was great; i added some butter and brown sugar. but the texture was all wrong. it was simultaneously watery and granular. i think i’m sticking to oats— irish oats— and all their lumpy heartiness. i finished off breakfast with a nice cup of mariage freres french breakfast tea.
check out my brownies!

they are delicious, truly. nice and dense and very chocolately.

i think my family will be pleased at dinner tonight. we all harbor a sweet tooth. there can never be too much dessert.
