This is a true story. Long ago, and not so far away my
oldest ran cross country for his high school, Lake Braddock. For four years I would
bake trays of brownies to take to the Saturday meets to share with the team
after they had run, rested and cooled down. Something to look forward to and I
really enjoyed baking these brownies for them. One of the star athletes on the team continued on to run for William and Mary, a prestigious school in our state. A few years later, she was
interview by the Washington Post about her dazzling running career. She reflected
on her running journey and reminisced about the good that had come from it. Of
many fond memories, one was she loved those brownies after the Saturday meets. Well,
there you have it! One line of ink in the Washington Post! Of course, no names
given, but we all knew where they came from. Sort of famous, even for a moment.
So bake these brownies and create some new memories of your
own. You never know who remembers the little things that you do. Perhaps your brownies will become famous too!
This is what you will need-
1 C. Soft Butter
2 C. Chocolate Chips
1 ½ C. Sugar

Sorta famous, even for a moment...
