Well, the first thing I realized is that we don't always have everything we need on hand. So this first attempt came on my first day of vacation, and I picked something easy made with ingredients we had in the pantry. I think this recipe came from my son's cooking class when he was a freshman in high school. It's written in his handwriting, and it seems like the kind of thing a freshman cooking class might make.
Overall, it wasn't too difficult to prepare or cook, though I'm not convinced it's going to be the most delicious brownie I've ever had. Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? I guess the key ingredient is the graham crackers, which must give it some bulk. I'm afraid they are just going to give it chunks, but who knows, maybe it will all work out. One thing I've found, though, is that when it comes to brownies (which my wife makes about a thousand times better than anyone I know, I like things inside, like chocolate chips. See, that's the non-mathematical part of baking/cooking again. If the recipe didn't call for it, I won't put it in. But perhaps that is what this whole process will be about - learning how to 'break the rules' in favor of creativity and a life lived according to my own choosing.
