saturday fudge brownies.

this cool, chilly saturday afternoon is quite the rarity in sunny singapore and so is my baking. i'm not the least bit shy to say that i am quite an awesome cook but i'm quite rubbish at baking while most of my female friends are the exact opposite.

i envy women who can bake up a storm. everything from cakes to cookies and all the complicated confectionary in between.

in fact, after my decade old convection oven finally gave way last christmas and my dad replaced it with a spanking brand new one, this is the first time i have a proper oven. well okay it's still a convection oven but at least this one comes with an instruction manual so at least this one i'll know how to configure.

since we got the new oven we never used it for convection purposes so i thought i'd give it a go today. i had a box of betty crocker's fudge brownie premix in the pantry, left over since my last woeful attempt at baking. and what better treat on a cold rainy weekend than warm freshly baked brownies!

i believe this officially counts as brownies for dummies.

the 3 simple wet ingredients being half a cup of water, two-thirds a cup of vegetable oil and two eggs. it's that simple!

yummy rich batter!

ever the busybody, billy fusses about on the coutertop.

and 38 minutes later... voila! left it to cool before cutting and serving!

i think i'll take some to work later this evening. i'll need to get out of the house if i intend on getting any studying done for the impending exams. my bed is far too inviting and coupled with the weather, i may never make it out alive (or awake).

have a fantastic weekend everyone!
