Outrageous brownies! They sure do live up to their name. The Barefoot Contessa outdid herself with this recipe! I spent Saturday morning in the blazing hot sun watching a baseball game.

I can’t imagine what his parents went through in the mornings during his high school days. I mean, the kid, sleeps like a rock! I hopped on the ...
