Baking Brownies

Ok, so Random decided that despite keeping her mother up for almost 24 hours, she was going to sleep for her dear ol' dad.

And what did I do with the time?

Why, I made some brownies, of course! I had a sweet jones on, and thought I should whip up some brownies from scratch.

The interesting part? The brownies are not only not vegan. They're not even entirely vegetarian.

Letting that sink in a bit for dramatic effect. I'll wait...

That's right. As part of a long-standing discussion I've had with many friends over the years, I've always contended that there must be some way to make a dessert that contained meat (and that tasted good as a dessert - I mean, I can make chorizo pudding, and it probably won't be great). And not some froofy meat like candied ham. I mean manly meat.

Hamburger. Ground beef. The recipe I used is here.

The suspense is killing me. They're baking right now. I think I'm going to take them to work tomorrow.

Pshew. And they say new parents lose their minds for a while. What a fine line between genius and insanity (or clever and stupid, if that's your fancypancy).
