National Blonde Brownie Day: A day to indulge in the much loved dessert

Brownies are very popular dessert items of today and are made by mixing butter, eggs, flour, sugar, baking powder and most importantly, cocoa. Blonde brownies have a unique flavour and through they are not well known but are very delicious. 

There are many stories regarding the origin of blonde brownies. One of the stories is that it appeared in a Boston Cookbook which was published by Fannie Farmer in 1896. Another story is that it was made by chefs at Chicago's Palmer House Hotel in 1893 for World's Colombian Exposition. 

The brownies rapidly became a dessert in 1906 when Boston Cookbook by Fanny was updated with a blonde brownie recipe. Bonde brownies use brown sugar instead of cocoa which gives them butterscotch flavour. 

These brownies were very popular in the 1940s and 1950s as they became an alternative to chocolate. The brownies have many options when it comes to flavours like vanilla, nuts, toffee, butterscotch, coconut or any candy flavour which enhances the flavour of brown sugar. 

It is an unofficial holiday for a delicious and underappreciated brownie. The day can be celebrated by making delicious blonde brownies at home and having them with your family.

How Floods have Effected Human Beings and Wildlife

Floods are a natural calamity that ruins houses, wildlife, crops and takes life of many people as well. People were already suffering from COVID 19 and the floods made it even more worse this year. The people were not safe inside their houses as well.  Floods forced everyone to come outside their houses and gather in a single place or ask for help. The condition of the people had become very miserable and the government came forward to help them in these tragic times.  They tried their best to help the people by providing them food and shelter so that they are not rendered homeless. There were many non-governmental organizations that came forward and helped the people in times of need and emergency.  It is really saddening to see the situation that has taken over the world and we can only hope and pray that things are returned to their complete normal self so that everybody can leave peacefully and comfortably.

She slowly gains confidence when people understand the work she is doing and she becomes the favourite of the Bihar people and ultimately gains their trust. However, the series is faulty on many grounds. Fir...
