This weekend the neighbors on our block put on a party which they call a Hootenanny. I’m not quite sure what that term means and I am sure that I pronounce it wrong, given the number of times Jeff has corrected me. But to put it simply, it was a pig pickin. It was a dripping hot day, despite the forecast of rain, which didn’t come through until evening. But a small tent gave some shade, everyone brought great food, and there were kids galore. I can never bear to attend a potluck-style event without a dessert in tow, so although I made the requisite pasta salad, I also had to make some of my favorite peanut butter brownies. These have 3 layers and are absolutely decadent, but if you love the chocolate-peanut butter combo, they are definitely for you. I make them exactly according to the recipe and have never needed to change a thing except occasionally the combination of chocolate given what I have on hand. Happy drooling!
