Chocolate and Fluff

Hey there, World and Wonderland!

I hope you had a wondaaful time since my last post and I hope for you that weather was
just as gorgeous as it was around here. But even if I really enjoyed the sun I found that
30°C + A lot of Students + Long Lessons = everyone getting annoying.

No matter what, the weekends´ weather doesn´t seem a rosy and so i simply decided to cheer myself up with some brownies. And as our blog is famous for having this certain "fluff" here´s the recipe for all of you
that want to get some of that fluff home.

Best Cocoa Brownies
Adapted from Alice Medrich’s Bittersweet

Makes 16 larger or 25 smaller brownies (the size you see pictured yielded 25)

10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks, 5 ounces or 141 grams) unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups (9 7/8 ounces, 280 grams) sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (2 7/8 ounces, 82 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process)
1/4 teaspoon salt (or a heaping 1/4 teaspoon flaky salt, as I used)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, cold
1/2 cup (66 grams, 2 3/8 ounces) all-purpose flour
2/3 cup walnut or pecan pieces (optional)

the whole recipe from www.smittenkitchen.com will be visible on the "food"-page rather soon 

actually I also wanted to add some pictures but...well...the truth is I burnt 40% of the cake and the rest of it didn´t look that good... but it tasted awesome :)

so before I leave I still take a try to get the boredomness out of your manicure. Here are some awesome colours for your paws ;)

I´ve always had a fable for CaTRICe-stuff (I actually don´t really know why) 

and the three colours I chose just seemed so awesome to me. 

The first one is a minty fellow called  ACid/DC, the second one´s called  

From Dusk to Dawn and it´s a kind of brown that gets a purple touch 

when looking at it in the sun :D and the third one has the 

stunning name Bloody Mary to Go and kick-starts an awesome season!

always nice is nail art. a very simple way of doing this is getting a nail liner at your drugstore. they´re not
availiable everywhere but they make very good with your mani, also when you just do a key-nail.

So stay classy!
