Top chef: afterschool edition

I challenge you to make this box of brownies with no help (said the mama who hadn't quite finished her work for the day).

I had no idea how "up" for this challenge a 10 and 7 year old would be!  littleT is quite adept and self-sufficient in the kitchen, but A-man is lacking motivation (but chocolate did the trick!).

It was a hilarious display of motivated teamwork.  A-man was his bossy self, but littleT was clearly happy to be working together.  They successfully found the ingredients and utensils (there was some confusion if the cooking spray was supposed to go in the bowl before the mix).

There was vigorous stirring (each doing exactly 25 strokes):
But really (and this should come as no surprise) the whole endeavor revolved around licking the bowl and licking the spoon -- it dominated the cooking conversation!
Now THAT is licking the bowl!

The house smelled great and the brownies were delicious.  Clearly a new challenge must be issued next Friday.
