Happy Easter 🐣! I have been using the same brownie recipe for years. It’s no fail, a perfect blend of cakey & fudgy. With 1.5 sticks of butter & 10 oz if chocolate, I should think so! I just bake the base recipe of a chocolate PB brownie @bonappetitmag. Plum Torte recipe @nytimes Cooking.

#booksbyfriends #snapshotreview ‘The Place You’re Supposed to Laugh’ by Jenn Stroud Rossmann (IG: Jenn_Rossmann @Twitter: @jenn_rossmann). The characters in this book are at pivotal points in their lives: a career mom deciding whether to add another child to her non-traditional family. A husband facing the loss of his career - and family. A teenaged boy searching for an identity. What Rossmann does so well is give each of these characters a distinct voice with relatable desires and flaws. And while Rossman creates empathy for some characters’ less-than-honorable decisions by deftly shifting point-of-view, she also pulls no punches: “The ache in his back was how it felt to be closing the distance between the type of man he’d meant to be and the type he was.” Even the adoptive mother who wants the best for her son has her moment of truth: “Chad saw that his dad was maybe her biggest, and longest-term, project of all.” By the time we reach the end of the book, the place where the story began has broken apart, as described so well by its keenest observer: “Chad had learned that the disaster you’d prepared for wasn’t the one that would devastate you.” And for those who come through their disasters in tact, what lies on the other side? . ‘The Place You’re Supposed to Laugh’ is available at #713books and at all the usual suspects online. #bookstgram #books #booksbooksbooks #amreading #amreadingfiction #novel #writersofinstagram #writersofig #siliconvalley #paloalto
