Gary turns 30!

It's Gary's birthday and he's turning 30!!!! But 28th July came and went without much of a squeak... because he wasn't even in town. And I was thinking so hard about what to get him as a gift. There's nothing that he needs. And there's nothing much that he wants (the few stuff that he wants are way beyond my means to get it i.e. home theatre system to match our TV here!). 

So I did what I can do confidently and I made him some brownies as a surprise when he came back today (31st July).  

 

I made it a little healthier by using olive oil instead of butter (also because it's very hard to find unsalted butter here). It tastes not too bad, if I may say so myself. The texture is chewy and moist, except maybe the olive oil smell is a tad too strong. I should add a little less next time.

Think we'll get 'big' very soon, if I continue to bake sinful desserts like this. Maybe I should try oriental desserts.... they seem less fattening.....
