Ewa's brownie

 Ingredients

(20 servings)

- 200 g butter

- 200 g dark chocolate

- 3 eggs (room temperature)

- 250 g sugar

- 135 g flour

- a small pinch of salt

- additional: approx. 50 - 100 g dark chocolate for topping

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C. Prepare a small rectangular baking pan (about 21 cm x 28 cm or a similar size). Grease it with butter and line with parchment paper.

2. Cut the butter into cubes and place it in a saucepan. Add the broken-up pieces of chocolate and melt them over low heat, stirring constantly. Once melted, remove from heat.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk or stir the eggs with sugar until well combined. Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture, and mix or whisk until smooth.

4. Add the flour and salt, and mix until the dough is uniform. Pour it into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.

5. Chop the additional chocolate into pieces and sprinkle it over the top of the batter.

6. Place in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the cake rises slightly and a crust forms on top. If using a larger pan, the cake will bake faster, and if using a smaller pan, the baking time will need to be extended.

6. Once baked and cooled, cut into small pieces.

 I personally skip step 5, I don't do the topping

Also, the recipe says '200g' of dark chocolate. I do more or less 150g dark chocolate and 50g milk chocolate, makes it more sweet and less heavy

Parenting tips

 One of the most effective parenting tools we use in our home is something we call “Tribal Council.”

Over the years, our circle has included our own kids, their friends, foster kids, foreign exchange students, and just about any teenager who happens to be at our house that night. If you’re in the home, you’re on the team. We try to hold Tribal Council once a week.

The purpose is simple: to reinforce that we are a team and a family, regardless of blood connection. We want the kids to know we are watching out for them, just as we expect them to watch out for us.

We sit in a circle and everyone answers the first question:

How was your week?

From there, we move into questions like:

• What did you accomplish this week?

• What are you looking forward to next week?

• Is there an area where you’re struggling?

(This is where grades, bullying, or other concerns can come up naturally.)

• What can you do next week to improve?

• Any new friends or relationships?

• Anything exciting happening?

After check-ins, we usually cover one life lesson. These are discussions, not lectures.

Some example lessons:

• How to introduce yourself properly

Handshake, eye contact, repeating the person’s name, confident posture.

• How to get a job

Dress well. Give a firm handshake. Make eye contact. Ask thoughtful questions about the company. Clearly say you want the job. Follow up afterward.

• Dating and relationships

What are you worth?

What are you looking for in a friend or partner?

Recognizing healthy and unhealthy behaviors.

Setting boundaries.

How to exit a relationship respectfully.

• Handling drama

Why do people start drama?

Should you participate or move on?

What does being offended actually mean?

Who controls your emotions?

How should you respond to insults?

There are countless topics you can cover. The key is creating a safe environment where everyone speaks and everyone listens. When it feels like a discussion instead of a preaching session, communication opens up and relationships grow stronger.
