Back in the kitchen, he sat and watched as she made the brownies.
She found the recipe, spattered with batter from previous batches, and set the oven to preheat. She took out the big stand mixer with its bowl. And a small hand mixer. And an extra bowl. And two other bowls, which she used to melt chocolate and butter. Two mixing spoons. She found a pan, greased it, decided to use another one, and took that out, greased it, and lined it with parchment paper. She took out a plethora of measuring cups and spoons.
It was precision masquerading as chaos. She used every single bowl and utensil she took out and she got flour on her nose, and batter on her cheek. Despite the measuring cups, all the ingredients were weighed.
Eventually the brownies were in the oven, with a temperature probe in the batter, and they loaded the dishwasher together. As they were putting things away, Jonathan happened to glance at the recipe she’d used. He managed to keep a straight face when he saw the title: “One Bowl Brownies”.
