Guest blog by Ms. MacGregor: Baking brownies

Hi Everyone,
Quite a bit of interest was stirred by Diane's blog on cooking. By your comments it seems that some of you are interested in eating and cooking. Also, you seem to have an interest in chocolate. As I am a big chocolate lover, I would like to introduce this easy recipe for brownies (sorry Kazu, it requires an oven - but it is really really simple!). Here we go:
Ingredients (c. means cup, based on 1 cup = 250ml)
1/2 c. butter       3/4 c. flour
1/4 c. cocoa       1/2 c. chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans or anything you like - or no nuts at all)
2 eggs                pinch of salt
1 c. sugar

Get a medium sized pot and melt the butter and cocoa on the gas burner. Take it off the gas burner when it is melted. In a different bowl, beat the eggs well and them add the sugar and flour, nuts and sugar and mix well with a spoon or spatula. Then pour the butter and cocoa overtop and stir well. Pour into a baking pan and bake at 180 degrees celsius for about 15-20 minutes. Check frequently by sticking a toothpick in the middle. When the toothpick comes out with just a bit if brownies sticking to it, they are done! Take out of the oven, and let cool. Then cut into squares, make some coffee, and have with vanilla icecream if you like.
Sound easy? Yes! I hope some of you will try it and enjoy them.
