Coffee Musings - 021108

Two of my nieces have birthdays this week. They are siblings, too. Neither was born on Valentine's Day, but they definitely can take advantage of all the love in the air.
I baked brownies last night, and they were good! I used roasted pecans. As the pecans were cooling from roasting I tried a couple and knew I was on the right track. I definitely recommend roasted pecans or roasted walnuts with brownies. If you like nuts, that is. Hazelnuts/fiberts and almonds are too hard, and the textural invasion takes away from the taste pleasure.
