> I'd make it without the coconut and rum; it wold taste much better, IMO.

Agree there :)

Interesting too, that this receipe uses cake mix and instant pudding, along
with added fresh ingredients.. I wonder if there's an older recipe that used
everything from 'scratch'?  I know in (more or less) modern times, many recipes
used cake mixes as the basis for a cake, but I was just curious.

Maybe the time just wasn't right for the area? Not sure...  I found a picture
of us on the web.. (laugh)..

sorry for the wrap there..
that should be Junior&picnum above...

Boy we look so little hahahaha.. I'm in the picture, but you'd never make me
out even if you knew me (g). I'm one of the drummers on left side of the
picture.. when that picture was taken, I was the 2nd drummer on left side of
the center of the picture (g).

Yes, sometimes kids weren't interested in such things.. The Queens (our drum
corps) lasted until about 2001 according to the web page I found.. interesting.
I'd thought it had dissolved long before.

We used to cook before taking long trips on the bus to our destination... we
had to have good "healthy" junk to eat :)  So I always made brownies.

===Brownies from the Joy of Cooking:===

Description: "Almost everyone wants to make this classic American confection.
We guarantee good results if you follow the signals. Brownies may vary greatly
in richness and contain anywhere from 1 1/2 cups of butter and 5 ounces of
chocolate to 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 ounces of chocolate for every cup of
flour. If you want them chewy and moist, use a 9x13" pan; if cakey, use a 9x9"
pan. We love the following."

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt in a double boiler:
     1/2 cup butter
     4 oz. chocolate
Cool this mixture. If you don't, your brownies will be heavy and dry. Beat
until light in color and foamy in texture:
     4 eggs at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
Add->gradually and continue beating until well creamed:
     2 cups sugar
     1 teaspoon vanilla
With a few swift strokes, combine the cooled chocolate mixture into the eggs
and sugar.
Even if you normally use an electric mixer, do this manually. Before the
mixture becomes uniformly colored, fold in, again by hand:

      1 cup sifted all-purpose flour

And before the mixture is uniformly colored, stir in gently:

      1 cup pecan meats

Bake in a 9x13" pan for about 25 minutes. Cut when cool. Wrapped individually
in foil, these keep well 3 or 4 days.

A good way to serve Brownies is to garnish with whipped cream.

====we didn't bother with the whipped cream :) :) ===


Take care,
Janis
