Notes: Gigi's mother Erna Sullivan passed away, tragically only four days after her son Jimmy passed. She was 94. A great chef in her day, she's lived in a snazzy retirement community with a fancy dining room, so cooking for "one" wasn't high on her list of things to do. When quarantine rules allowed these past months, she managed to squeeze out a batch of her brownies for us every now and then. I'm not a big dessert eater myself but I would save room for these. The walnuts added saltiness and crunch to the chewy goodness of her brownies and they were my favorite. Occasionally, Gigi and I would swap a half-gallon of Jim Bean Bourbon for a tinful of these delights. I betcha Grammy dunked the brownies in the bourbon.
