Day 8: LA Primavera
Atmosphere - Sad Clown Bad Year

I have zero knowledge on classical music, but I assume Vivaldi's 4 seasons is made up of a piece for each season of the year. La Primavera being for spring, obviously. Back in the 00s, way before Weezer had the idea, Atmosphere released 4 EPs from their Sad Clown series (9-12) that were for each season. Sad Clown Bad Spring, etc... They also eventually released all 4 into one record, dubbed Sad Clown Bad Year.

Such great cover art. Reminds me of Daniel Clowes stuff a bit.

I officially request both brownies and bonus brownies for having the wherewithal to be the fractional score scandal whistleblower.

I prefer whole numbers, sir.

Unless the fraction is something like 90000/2. I'd take that.

9. Born Under A Bad Sign

As TMZ (GLN) has blown the fractional brownie point scandal wide open, I'll play it straight and see what materializes.

If I get, like, 7/96th of a point, I'm going straight to my local news.

This would definitely be a fractional score. I'm not sure my college learning through Calculus 2 is enough for me to be able to figure out what the fraction is though. A whole brownie point is still up for grabs. :p

Brownies-Recipe-2-1200.jpg

YOU WILL NEED​


10 tablespoons (145 grams) unsalted butter
1 ¼ cups (250 grams) granulated sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (80 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder, natural or Dutch-process
1/4 rounded teaspoon kosher salt, use slightly less if using fine sea or table salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large cold eggs
1/2 cup (65 grams) all-purpose flour
2/3 cup (75 grams) chopped walnuts or pecans, optional

DIRECTIONS​

  • PREPARE BATTER
  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 325 degrees F. Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch x 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on opposite sides to help remove the baked brownies from the pan.
    Prepare a double-boiler by filling a medium saucepan with water about 2 inches deep. Heat the water until barely simmering. See the notes section below for tips on making these without a double-boiler and instead using a microwave or making them directly in a saucepan.
    Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium heat-safe bowl. Rest the bowl over the simmering water. If the bottom of the bowl touches the water, remove a little water from the saucepan.
    Stir the mixture occasionally until the butter has melted and the mixture is quite warm. Don’t worry if it looks gritty; it will become smooth once you add the eggs and flour.
    Remove the bowl from the saucepan, and set aside for 5 minutes or until it is only warm, not hot.
    Stir in the vanilla.
    Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring vigorously after each one.
    When the batter looks thick and well blended, add the flour. Use a spoon to beat the flour into the batter until it is very thick and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. We use a wooden spoon or spatula and beat for 40 to 50 strokes (see video for reference).
    Stir in nuts if using.
    • BAKE BROWNIES
    • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
      Bake the brownies until the edges look dry and the middle looks slightly underbaked; 20 to 30 minutes. You can test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. The brownies are finished baking if it comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
      Cool completely before removing from the pan — this step is essential and helps the brownies set. Cut into 16 squares.
