So, being a good school parent I am doing my part today by baking brownies for the bake sale. Six sticks of butter and one dozen eggs later, my kitchen is a mess!  But the good news is that I managed to whip up three batches of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kingarthurflour.com\/recipes\/fudge-brownies-recipe\">best brownies EVER<\/a> all while my 3 year old was at preschool. Truth be told I only needed to make two batches. But then I sure would be sad tonight remembering all that fudgey chocolate goodness and not one single one to have with a cold glass of milk!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/gems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/ugly_brownies.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"359\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/gems\/2010\/10\/21\/baking-day-keeping-it-real\/ugly_brownies\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/gems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/ugly_brownies.jpg?fit=1072%2C635&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1072,635\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D90&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1287659169&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.166666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ugly_brownies\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/gems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/ugly_brownies.jpg?fit=188%2C111&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/gems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/ugly_brownies.jpg?fit=494%2C292&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-359\" title=\"ugly_brownies\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/gems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/ugly_brownies.jpg?resize=494%2C292\" alt=\"\" width=\"494\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/gems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/ugly_brownies.jpg?resize=494%2C292&amp;ssl=1 494w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/gems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/ugly_brownies.jpg?resize=188%2C111&amp;ssl=1 188w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/gems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/ugly_brownies.jpg?w=1072&amp;ssl=1 1072w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 494px) 100vw, 494px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nDid you know that brownies prefer to be cut when they are warm?
