The Science of Sweets

I like to bake.  For the boys, for fun, for stress relief.  In particular, when the need to bake for stress relief pops up, I usually turn to brownies.  Fast, easy, yum.

Do you like them chewey, cakey, fudgey, plain, with nuts, etc?  I like mine on the gooey side.

Not surprisingly, there are a lot of opinions on brownies.  Now, Harvard has turned its intellectual attention to the topic.

Later this month, if you're in the Cambridge area, you can attend The Science and History of Cookies and Brownies.  A Harvard professor and his students will discuss all the science that goes into these treats.

Sounds delicious.

  1. Perhaps your love for brownies may be founded in high school Bible Class at Holy Cross many years ago. Connie made the best (and still does!)

  2. Absolutely! The brownies were one of the many wonderful things about that class--I have great memories of those Sunday mornings. And yes, Connie makes fantastic brownies!
