The highlight of the evening was dessert. Dinner was an unremarkable collection of leftovers. Dessert, however, was a moist, chocolatey collection of brownie-cookies prepared by a fabulous mother-daughter cooking team.

In addition to our own personal enjoyment, we also made the cookies for Mr. Barry and Miss Barbara. In January, they had given us a chocolate cookbook—Mr. Barry, being a choc-o-holic, asked for samples of anything that we happened to make from it. Then, for Valentine’s Day, they gave the kids gift certificates for Cold Stone. So, you see, we had no choice but to make brownie cookies.
