Brownies
Last night our middle school boys came in at curfew and informed us that they would need to bake something for a party in their French class. They needed to make enough for about 50 people! We were of course very surprised and a little annoyed by them telling us this at this time of night. We already had two cakes in the oven and another one that was waiting to go in. We told them they could make two pans of brownies but they would have to do all the work including putting the dishes away that the dish crew did not finish putting away earlier ( why not right?). They complained a little and of course fought over who would get to the "fun jobs" but they actually did a fine job and we ended up getting some of the dishes we had been using for baking the snack and breakfast washed by the kids. Everything worked out fine and in the end we had fun.
