Shared Brownies With My Neighbor

Yesterday was the four year anniversary of my neighbor's wife's passing. She was a sweet friend to me and is greatly missed by many. He lost her to cancer. He recently lost his little dog, Oreo as well. He spent part of the day with his daughter and her family. When he came home I took some fresh baked brownies over to share. He was so happy. I added walnuts, he loves those. And I do as well. These are the turtle brownies, with a little caramel drizzled in the batter. The house smells so good. I kept a few to munch on later. Photo is mine. Fresh baked brownies out of the oven.

What a very sweet gesture on your part, literally. Sweets from a sweetheart. Your neighbour is so lucky to have the bond that he does with you.

@CarolDM So many people reside beside each other and never interact, that is why I feel that you are both so very lucky to have the bond of the years and memories you have built.

How kind of you to say. He is very special. He called his daughter to tell her how good they were. Just got off the phone with her. She was reminding me of how special I was to her Mom. Made me feel really good. We shared a few tears.

I really have to move closer to you. Of course, I’d probably gain all the weight back that I’ve lost, so I guess I should stay where I am.

You’re so sweet!!!

Yes you should. I added a little cream cheese to my part of the brownies. I don’t bake a lot and when I do it is usually for my neighbors.

I love walnuts in brownies, as well- that's my favorite way to eat them! That was a very kind and thoughtful thing for you to do.

What a nice thing to do. I really like Bravetart's Glossy Fudge Brownies but my absolute favorite are Thomas Keller's in his Bouchon Bakery cookbook.
