Years ago we went to a reunion at the lake house for Steve’s relatives. We were the hit of the day when I brought; chocolate brownies with walnuts, blondies with pecans, peanut butter brownies with peanuts, almond butter brownies with almond and coconut bars with cashews all laid out on a big tray lined up in rows. It was pretty splendid.
