Chocolate Karma

Posted on Friday 20 May 2005

It isn’t sweltering but it is definitely muggy and I’m hotter due to clunky looking brownies. I’m at the Blu Jazz Cafe @ 71 Dunlop Street working and was struck by a brilliant idea - or rather a brilliant idea back then. I would bake brownies for J today in celebration of his appearance in this world! Problem number 1: I’m out. Problem number 2: I do not have an oven at home. Problem number 3: I don’t really bake…. but like all problems, they can be solved.

So since I’m more or less a permanent fixture here, I managed to bribe the management with smiles and labour of some sort to use their oven. Sweet! Life is good and this is what I’ll call good karma.

To make these little chocolate heaven, I followed a receipe which took less than 30 min. However the baking was tough - took nearly an hour and the brownie kinda exploded. So J, if you’re reading this, I hope your tastebuds will be overwhelmed by the sweet cocoa and ignore the presentation when you swing by with your friends tonight :P

    they allowed you to?

    wah. Do they give baking lessons or not? Maybe can be a new kind of concept cafe.

    I pay you to bake my own stuff (with your staff’s help)
