Brownies

My wife has long contended that brownies made from scratch just can't contend with the mixes that come in a box. Yet when the latest Every Day Food arrived, she was excited by the whole section on brownies.

So I decided to try my hand at making brownies from scratch. It was not as hard as I had expected, and the brownies were good: better than the average brownie mix, but not as good as a Ghirardelli mix. So if you're up for a brownie experiment, this is a great place to start.
