LOL! As a serious foodie who regularly shares recipes with friends, I need to take that into consideration when writing. I bet those brownies kept you awake for a good while!
Newly married, my wife and I gathered a whole bunch of apples from a friends farm. Apple pie! We got started and looked at the apples - hmmmm - do we peel them or not? After numerous cookbooks with no help, we thought and thought some more. None of the recipes said anything about peeling them, just slicing them, so in they went. Baked it with the peels on thinking they would soften up or whatever.
First bite told us we were wrong!
