Brownies

Ingredients
275g/10oz plain chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
275g/10oz unsalted butter
85g/3oz pecans, broken into pieces (I put coconut in for Charlie's party instead)
85g/3oz milk chocolate, cut into large chunks
85g/3oz white chocolate, cut into large chunks
175g/6oz plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla essence
325g/12oz caster sugar

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas3. Line a 30x20x3.5cm/12x8x1½in tin with lightly buttered greaseproof paper or foil.
2. Put the plain chocolate and butter in a large bowl, place over a pan of simmering water and allow to melt.
3. Sieve the flour and baking powder into a bowl and set aside. Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and stir in the sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla essence. Fold in the flour, nuts and chocolate.
4. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared cake tin. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The top should be firm but the inside should feel soft when cooked. Allow to cool in the tin. Remove the brownies from the tin and cut into squares.

SOL, are you around - this poster needs advice

As predicted, O was much perkier by the time we got to the doctors. He said "she sounds a bit upper-respiratory" and I though - what the hell does that mean?! Anyway, at least it's nothing serious.

I am sitting here alternating between Teenage Mums on BBC2 and Baby Race about 30-somethings having IVF on Sky 3! The teenage mums are more fun!

Glad she seems better - did he suggest treatment or just leave it for a few days?
