TWD: Brownie Buttons

It is moving week.  Although Jack and I moved most of the stuff out of our apartment in DC on Friday, I am back here finishing out work.  My current living conditions are such:

Lawn Chair

Air Mattress

Plastic Plates and utensils

My MacBook

My food processor

Don't ask me why I kept my food processor.  I couldn't part with it. 

And of course, my dog, Remy is sticking it out with me. She is not happy about the change. 

So you'll have to forgive me for the lack of creativity in this post.  I have no cable tv. I sent away for the 2nd season of Mad Men on DVD from Netflix only to realize that my mail forwarding kicked in on Saturday. Therefore, I have been relegated to watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Real World on Bravotv.com and MTV.com, respectively.  

I'm not proud.

HBO doesn't even show reruns of True Blood online.  I used to work for HBO. I feel betrayed.

The only books I have in the apartment are the Dexter books (the inspiration for the Showtime TV Show), Dracula, and the Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz.  Reading the first two books at night scares me. Reading the last book makes me hungry.

But let's get to these brownies, chosen by Jaime of Two Scientists Experiementing in the Kitchen.  All I can say is that I loved these. I topped some with Caramelized White Chocolate and others with just plain old white chocolate (which I LOVE. No haters, please).  I loved these. I loved the hint of orange. I loved the ease of the recipe. I loved the frosting on top (I liked the plain white rather than the caramelized).  This recipe is definitely a winner.

And the tiny size is perfect to fit in my cute little kitchen.

That has to be the most hilarious thing I've heard... makeship everything, and a food processor... perhaps as a blanky???!!! LOL Talk about loving your tools! LOL

Either way, those are very well done! Very mouthwatering!

[Lauryn]

Isn't moving fun!?!? :) I am impressed that you were able to make these it the midst of moving! They look great!! And why didn't I think to use the carmelized white chocolate sauce I have sitting in my fridge!

[Carolina]

I feel your "moving" pain. Good luck girl. Amazing you did the brownies. So cute, too. I love Dexter, Mad Men, and True Blood. I will keep my fingers crossed that you will get the second season soon! Take care and hang in there!

[Hornedfroggy of My Baking Heart]

Oh no! At least you've got your computer... I don't think I could live without mine! Your brownie buttons are adorable, too! :) Good luck with the rest of the move!

[Nicole]

That is a hilarious picture in my head. You in a lawn chair with your laptop and your food processor sitting next to you and Remy on the other side! HA :) Good luck during the transition. Your brownies buttons look great!

[Charli]

I currently have the 2nd season of Mad Men on netflix! Exciting! (well, for me. sorry.)

Soon you (and your food processor ;) ) will have finished the transition and you too will be able to look back on these days and smile. At least you have easy, adorable brownies.

[Amy]

You're a trooper to make these amidst the chaos of moving from one city to another. Good luck with the move this week!

[Cathy]

Oh good, I loved these too! I've read lots of mixed reviews. Yours look adorable! Good luck with moving - hope you are back with all of the comforts of home in no time (meanwhile, I'm glad you kept your FP with you - good call).

[Tracey]

Your brownie bites look delicious! I really enjoyed them too! You have my sympathy for your current living situation - I'm not sure I'd last 2 days without cable :)

[Erin]

Too cute! Good luck with the move; the end is near!

[Spike]

I'm right in the middle of mad men s2, trying to catch up before s3 starts! Hope you move goes smoothly and you're back to go tv watching in no time.

The brownie buttons look so cute and tasty! I love to make little brownie bites, but they always disappear too fast.

[Amy (Sing for your supper)]

Good luck moving!! You're doing a heck of a lot better than I was during our moving process!- I didn't cook/bake/blog anything for weeks!! Your little buttons are too cute!

These sound so great with the white chocolate on top!

[Wendy]

Good luck with the rest of your move. Your buttons look cute. I like the caramelized white chocolate frosting.

I hear you on the moving. But I'm glad it's going well. So don't worry about not being able to blog or make the posts look as creative. The food looks delicious either way.

So...you're a true blood fan, too, eh?? I want to start reading the Dexter book. Can't get enough of those show!!!

I think brownies are an awesome "moving" treat. Delish!!

[Marthe]

I skipped the orange and loved the brownies, at least the one that I managed to save for myself!!

[Mike]

Please.... the fact that you made them and didn't skip a week is amazing! Shows true dedication and a love for baking! Hope your moving goes smooth - that's always such a hassle. But you'll have a re-organized kitchen, think of it that way! Perfect "moving" Dorie goods this week - couldn't be simpler! Love that you varied the toppings (mmm... caramel and white chocolate)! They look fantastic!

They are adorable.

Have fun setting up your new place.
