I have a really nice brownie recipe for when the weather is hot.  Make just 
the base and serve with icecream, cover with just chocolate icing or follow 
the recipe exactly and you will have Chocolate Mint Brownies.  If you don't 
like peppermint just leave it out.  The reason its great for warm weather is 
that it is a microwave recipe and they are done in 5 minutes!  If you have a 
1,000 watt microwave cook on 85% power.  Its it written for a  700 watt oven 
but I have switched to a 1,000 watt and did it at 85% power.
