Chocolate Chip Brownies

I can't even wait long enough to take a picture of my food before I dig in. Definition of fat kid. As I write this I may have just had a few more bites of those brownies just because they're only a room away. Normally I would be safe from myself and those brownies but I am teleworking today because a lovely dump truck decided to dump some stuff off in the middle of the interstate unbeknownst to him. Yes... when it happened I was driving by and it just seemed a little extra rattly compared to normal dump trucks and I got a bad feeling. I decided to speed up to pass it but right then something flew off of it. It was fate, and inevitable that I was going to hit it. Whatever it was hit the underneath of my car and I heard metal scraping sounds the whole drive home. Thankfully my dad came to the rescue today for me and has saved me possibly hundreds of dollars. A huge metal scrap flew off the truck and hit the undercarriage of my car and lodged itself in there. I guess it's a good thing there's a protective covering under there or it could have been a lot worse. So I bring you the recipe for these brownies, one of my favorite desserts in the world as I snack on them all morning. Now I really  have to go for a run later...
