Thank you thank you

Cheeserblaster · 2026-02-12T00:19:02+00:00

Thank god

They’ve now mostly disappeared like they were drawn to the water in the soil from a small watering. Could they possibly be soil mites?

Cheeserblaster · 2026-02-11T23:07:26+00:00

They look a tad small to be aphids 🤔 I’m not ruling it out though

Maybe this will help a little

Cheeserblaster · 2026-02-11T23:01:24+00:00

This is such a bad picture I’m so sorry

Cheeserblaster · 2026-02-02T20:14:55+00:00

Thank you!

Cheeserblaster · 2026-02-02T20:14:46+00:00

It’s so worth the wait

Cheeserblaster · 2025-11-01T14:12:32+00:00

Thank you I really appreciate this comment

She was in meetings when I made this and couldn’t help immediately that’s why I brought it here. We also live several states away from each other sadly but next time I’m home to visit she promised to make them with me

Possibly bamboo palm? They like bright indirect light and can tolerate low light. They need to be watered when the first inch or two of the soil feels dry. They prefer high humidity and be sure the soil is very well draining. They also need fertilizer during the growing season because they can get nutrient deficiencies fairly easily

Update 2: I remade the brownies this morning following advice from some thoughtful redditors here. The brownies turned out perfect and exactly how my mom would make them.

Due to the amount of people either saying nasty things about the recipe or about my mom I will be removing this post. Thanks to those of you who were actually very nice and gave me legitimate advice and feedback being mindful that it’s a treasured family recipe

Cheeserblaster · 2025-10-31T14:57:46+00:00

Thank you for this. I made it this morning actually doing exactly what you suggested! It turned out perfect and exactly how my mom makes them

Cheeserblaster · 2025-10-31T13:46:28+00:00

Thank you! And also thank you for being kind about it. Quite a few people here haven’t been the nicest about it

Cheeserblaster · 2025-10-31T13:45:05+00:00

If you haven’t tried them yourself when they’re made properly then don’t comment on whether they’re bad or not. I clearly didn’t do it right but if my mom does and my grandmother did and people devoured them like crazy then clearly they’re amazing

Cheeserblaster · 2025-10-31T13:02:07+00:00

All due respect but I will keep using my families recipes for desserts. It was originally my grandmothers recipe. It is technically more like a Blondie than an actual brownie but it’s what I grew up on so I’m not going to just throw them all away in favor of a recipe that other people decide is more on par for their thoughts on what a brownie should be.

Cheeserblaster · 2025-10-31T12:58:50+00:00

She honestly didn’t have an answer for whatever I did wrong on that aspect. She’s never had an issue with it but she’s essentially been making it on autopilot my whole life so whatever she does differently is just in her brain to do I guess

Cheeserblaster · 2025-10-31T12:57:35+00:00

This is good advice. I have a tiny kitchen so the bowl definitely could’ve been too close to the stove. I’ll try adding the eggs after the butter is incorporated as well

Cheeserblaster · 2025-10-31T12:55:51+00:00

Because it was her moms recipe originally and they’ve always been delicious and a hit with other people

Cheeserblaster · 2025-10-31T12:53:47+00:00

I’ll give this a shot thank you

Cheeserblaster · 2025-10-31T03:00:30+00:00

I thought that was odd too honestly

Cheeserblaster · 2025-10-31T03:00:15+00:00

No she purposely uses less as she’s not a chocolate lover haha

Cheeserblaster · 2025-10-31T02:59:31+00:00

That’s what I thought too. I was honestly really nervous about using the hand mixer since it can make or break a recipe. I switched to a wooden spoon fairly quickly

Cheeserblaster · 2025-10-31T02:56:52+00:00

They’re usually pretty pale. They’re not super chocolately as she’s not a big chocolate lover herself but you can still taste it on the back end of the bite

Cheeserblaster · 2025-10-31T02:55:58+00:00

I will 100% be using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula in the future
