misery + james jean

A few pics from NZ artist Misery's "The Heart of Misery" show & the James Jean book launch we attended last Thursday night. We picked up a copy of Kindling and had it signed by James himself.

"The Heart of Misery" is at Plaything gallery, 21 Dacre St, Eden Terrace, Auckland until the 29th August.

Can you believe before tonight I had never made chocolate brownies in my life? Crazy I know!

I made my first batch thanks to Sarah over at bobbyrobin. Her post on dairy-free brownies was just the chocolately goodness I needed. I raided my kitchen cupboards and found the recipe on the back of a tin of cocoa, not dairy-free but delicious nonetheless. It turned out I didn't have enough cocoa so I halved the recipe and made a batch of 8 muffin tin sized brownies which came out just perfect! Chewy on the outside and soft on the inside. This is definately one to put in the recipe book.
