Just so there’s no misunderstanding, today we are not celebrating an old Kodak box camera or the version of Girl Scouts for younger participants, though both of those things should get their own special days too. No, today is about the delicious chocolate treat that’s like a highly concentrated version of cake. Brownies have been one of my favorite sweets since childhood (naturally, the corners are the best pieces!), and I like them so much that if I were forced to choose between brownies and chocolate chip cookies, I might have an existential crisis. So eat a brownie today. I like adding chocolate chips and walnuts to my brownies; I’m given to understand that some people like even more exotic added ingredients, but I wouldn’t know anything about that.
