best brownies in the known universe (at least, according to my grandma)

some year and a half ago when i was getting ready to move out i combed through all the family recipes that lay lost to time and one of the ones that i found was my grandmas brownie recipe. idk where she got it from (nor can i ask cause she has dementia) and its a printed out email she sent to my mom in june 2000. but by george these the best brownies i have ever tasted. would she be pleased that i am sharing this recipe with my vast following? absolutely.

YOU WILL NEED:

5 tablespoons butter (unsalted) 1 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate (or as much as your heart desires) 2/3 cup unsweetened good cocoa powder 1 cup sugar (white) (superfine preferred, normal works fine) 1 cup sifted white flour (can use gluten free) 1/2 teaspoon baking powder as much cinnamon as your heart desires (your heart needs to desire at least some cinnamon. its essential to the recipe) 3 egg whites 1 egg splash of vanilla extract (again, non negotiable step!)

preheat your oven to 325 degrees. grease a square baking pan (9x9 preferably).

in a small saucepan over medium heat melt the butter and baking chocolate. while that is melting, sift together the flour, baking powder and cinnamon into a small bowl. once the butter and chocolate is done melting add the cocoa powder and cook it together for 1 minute. add in the sugar and stir. it will get very thick. this is correct.

set that aside to cool. while thats cooling take a large bowl and put in your egg whites, egg and vanilla. beat it up with preferably a whisk but you can use a fork if youre fresh out of whisks. once the chocolate is cool enough to not scramble your eggs dump it in the eggs and mix it together. add the flour in gradually and keep mixing until its smooth and happy.

spread into your greased baking pan. put it in the oven for EXACLTLY 18 MINUTES. very crucial step. they will come out slightly under done. that is what we want. as they cool they will continue to cook in the pan. we dont want them to get hard and sad. they are not good when they are hard and sad. do not overbake them. you will be sad.

slice them up and as the official last step on the original recipe says: EAT ENJOY AND MAKE MORE! (theyre very good with mint chocolate chip ice cream)

That Seems Totally Unnecessary.

Little things that can make you feel better when you feel terrible and don’t feel able to do anything:

Being clean. If you can manage to have a shower, that’s great (even if you just lie on your bed in a towel after and don’t get dry). But if you can’t, you could try just standing under the hot water of a shower for a little while, or rinsing your face with warm water, swilling some mouthwash, putting dry shampoo in your hair, wiping your face and underarms with a wet wipe, putting on some deodorant, changing your socks or t-shirt or underwear, etc.

Look after your body. Drink a glass of water. Make sure you’ve taken your medication if you take any. Have you eaten anything in the last four hours? Try eating something - you don’t have to spend a long time making it. A piece of toast, some cereal, some fruit, a cereal bar, the components of a sandwich even if you can’t put them together. 

Sunlight. If you can, try going outside (even if you just go for a minute in your pajamas and slippers, just outside the door). Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky. Take a few slow, deep breaths of fresh air. If you can’t do that, make sure your curtains are open, and try sitting by the window for a few minutes. Maybe open a window to let some fresh air in. 

Look after your environment. Being in a dirty environment can often make you feel worse, and cleaning feels productive and you can admire your work at the end of it. Even if that’s just doing something small, like putting dirty laundry in the hamper, or putting trash in the bin, brushing the crumbs or loose hair off your sheets if you can’t change them, spraying air freshener or lighting a scented candle. Opening a window to let the air circulate. Straightening some cushions, or shoving a few things that are out of place in a drawer so they aren’t in sight. 

Do something self-soothing. Watch your favourite episode of your favourite show, or listen to your favourite album. Drink a cup of tea. Put some nice-smelling lotion on your skin. Wrap yourself up in a soft blanket. Find a picture of something cute or funny and send it to your friend. If you live with someone else, sit in the same room with them, or give them a hug. If you have pets, play with them or pet them or give them treats. Read a poem or a few pages of a book. Watch your favourite youtuber’s new videos. Scroll down your favourite blog. Put on some of your favourite perfume. Do something to do with your hobby. Play a video game or mobile phone game. Look through old photographs. Doodle something on the back of a piece of paper. Read a positive news article. Trim or paint your nails. Put on your favourite t-shirt or set of pajamas. Read a random wikipedia page (maybe about your favourite animal or celebrity or a historical event). Send someone a kind anonymous ask.

Most importantly: congratulate yourself for doing those things. Sometimes the tiniest things can be really hard, but doing them can make you feel better. Even if they seem like such small things, it’s important to recognise that you did something good by doing them. Be proud of yourself.
