GJ brought chocolate-chip cookies, chocolate-chip-pecan cookies, chocolate-chip-cherry-pecan cookies, brownies, and hash brownies, a cornucopia of chewy crispy chocolate confections. There were pitchers of fresh mare’s milk and goat’s milk on ice. He assured everyone that the hash brownies were only very lightly hashed, and he put them by themselves on their own little end table next to the big one, clearly marked. Sugarpie bragged about how they had roasted the pecans and the walnuts, on their own, before putting them into the cookies and brownies. It made a big difference to the taste.
