Chocolate brownie cupcakes



This happened to be the rare time, where I couldnt log into computer and had to dig a recipe soon. 
I had to put the cupcakes in the oven 15 min over the required baking time. On the top was a filmy layer. The only thing that was different from the recipe - 1 tbsp less butter.
I asked my daughter how the cupcake is, as thats what the recipe refers to them as. She said "Muffin, not cupcake".
goodness gracious, I must have been sleeping while adding the sugar. I have never seen so much sugar added, almost double the flour. All that just to compensate for the walnuts?

She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
