Culture shock and chocolate cravings...

The experts say that right about this time Jason and I are going to experience various symptoms of culture shock. I think it has come with cravings that are comforting and devilishly fudgy. Brownies. No box, no mix, and I don't own a hand mixer yet...

The chocolate products available here are in your kissy-face-Hershey good. So far, Jason and I have collectively eaten the equivalent of half of Willy Wonka's inventory of chocolate bars- and of course, it must be dark.

Succumbing to primordial chocolate desires I made a small batch(which means not nearly enough) of brownies. Incorporating instant coffee to it made them unbearably yummy. Needless to say, they were the best brownies I have ever made.

Fudgy and moist(but not greasy), they were an inspiring accompaniment to a simple glass of milk. Flavors from cocoa powder and freshly chopped 70% chocolate bars made these no-box brownies go faster than a Wii after-Christmas sale at Wal-Mart.

I feel another craving coming on soon...
