Making Brownies

This weekend, Mom was recovering from the flu, but while Little Man does his best, sympathy is a challenge to the attention span of a four year old.

So, while mom wanted to be housebound, Kev wanted to go to the petting zoo. The only activity I had in my distraction arsenal was...Making Brownies.

This was his first time to use the electric mixer, and this was also the time introduced him to the joy of getting to lick the mixer attachments afterwards.

The hard part was waiting for the brownies to bake, so while they were in the oven, we set about melting some chocolate on the stove to drizzle on the finished brownies. His concentration where chocolate is concerned is impressive! Once the brownies were cooling on the counter, we drizzled chocolate on the top, a small spoonful at a time. The end result....mmmmmm, and it provided a nice treat in all the brown bag lunches this week:

This is so cute. And your kitchen is gorgeous, by the way. My son has impressive zen-like concentration where chocolate is concerned as well. Hmmmm we need to figure out how to harness that to our advantage more often.
