Hey what’s up? Do you like to go to the gym and work out and stuff like that? If so, then you might already be familiar with the Lenny & Larry’s brand of cookies and brownies.

They also provide a quality energy boost, or small meal replacement that will satisfy your hunger between proper meals. Continue reading Product Review: Lenny & Larry’s Brownies and Cookies→
Everyone probably has a memory of brownies baked at home: helping Mom with the mixing and getting to lick the spoon, then enjoying the tempting chocolate aroma filling the kitchen as they baked, waiting impatiently for them to be done and – at last – biting into that still warm chewy chocolate brownie. Ahh, you know you can almost taste them now.
If you enjoy eating fresh baked goods but really need to keep the bake-at-home preparation simple, then you are going to love Krusteaz brand Gluten Free Double Chocolate Brownie Mix, which will be in stores in late August/ early September! Krusteaz sent us over a box for review and I baked them this past weekend. It was so easy and the results were beyond my expectations.
This is all you will need to have on hand:
1 egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup water
The instructions are so simple a child could do it. Seriously, it is impossible to mess it up.
Baking times suggest 48 – 52 minutes for a metal pan and five minutes longer for a glass pan. My oven is ancient and runs a little hot, so I opted for 48 minutes and they still got a little “brown” around the edges. I just cut that part off. No harm, no foul.
Take a look at the finished product: moist, chewy, and super chocolaty with tons of real chocolate chips in the mix! You would never know this is a Gluten Free Brownie because it lacks for nothing with regard to taste and texture. With Krusteaz you can have delicious home-baked Brownies in about an hour.

Dorian Grey Gallery in the East Village hosted an informal brunch today to promote its current exhibit, Indulgences, works on paper and recent paintings by New York artist Walter Robinson. As you might infer from the show’s title, Indulgences includes paintings of sweets and fast food favorites, pharmaceuticals and alcohol. The show also includes a selection of celebrity portraits, nudes and romance novel covers, but I didn’t feel compelled to shoot pictures of any of that stuff, so, you know, just go to the gallery and check it out.
Do you like to eat delicious, chocolaty brownies? I sure do. Mmmm, brownies. Yummy. But I really don’t like to have to bake them myself, for reasons I’d rather not go into here. If you are like me, the ideal situation is, of course, to either live with your Mom (not really an option), or find a good bakery and buy your brownie supply from that particular vendor. Here’s another question: do you like to help people? I like to help people. A lot of my friends are “enjoying” the unemployed lifestyle in these interesting times, and I’m reminded that those of us who are fortunate enough to earn a steady paycheck should maybe throw a little cash and /or kindness in the direction of those in need. It’s just the right thing to do. This combination of loving both brownies and selfless acts of charity brings me to TheWorley Gig’s Rad Website of the Day: Bastard Brownies. Run by a lady who calls herself Meg, Bastard Brownies was created as a home business so Meg could earn some extra cash to make payments on the house her asshole fiancé left her with when he dumped her for the coffee barista down the block. Gee whiz, what a dick. Anyway, Meg tells the story better than I do, so you can read all about the asshole ex-fiancé whom she is most definitely better off without at this link. But anyway, Meg’s home-baked Bastard Brownies come in a variety of mouthwatering flavors, including the signature “Bastard” Brownie (The brownie with everything in it!) described below:
Chocolate chunks = His Heart of Coal
Walnuts = The small penis that I put up with for 6 ½ years!
Marshmallow = Mush. How his life will ultimately end up
Caramel Topping = How easily he slipped away
You can see Meg kept her sense of humor, which is so important. But what is even more important is that these brownies sound fucking awesome. Brownie lovers out there, help a sister out and order a batch of delicious Bastard Brownies right now!
