Tell us about all the cool stuff you’re doing JJ!
Hey there!
So Manchester United lost the football tonight.
Still… life goes on. Especially if you could care less about Manchester United.
Today I thought I’d share with you what I’m up to, and then send you away with a chocolate surprise as I get busy with aforementioned stuff.
You’re soon going to see a few changes around here:
A New Cleaner, Clearer Website Design
A new splash of paint.
There’s a ton of really awesome stuff on this website.
But it’s a right bitch to find it, and the layout of the site is rather confusing.
So I’ll be taking the time to sort that out. The new design will be:
- cleaner
- easier to read
- lighter
- whiter
- like fresh laundry on a summer day
- funner
- more JJ. (Oh yeah.)
If you come and visit and the site looks as if a child drew it on your screen with half-chewed crayons, then you probably caught me in the middle of upgrade limbo.
I know there are ways and means to update a website in such a way that the changeover is almost seamless from the visitor’s perspective. I also know we probably won’t bother ourselves with such folly.
So if it looks like crap, that’s why. It’ll get better. Honest.
More Really Cool Stuff.
I’m busy making really cool stuff for you. If you’ve been paying attention to my coaching marketing blueprint then you’ll know that the last step is:
Explode your Business. Get leverage on your time.
In my business, this means making cool stuff to help as many people as possible. There’s some really great free stuff coming up which I’ll make available to existing and new subscribers to my awesome Jalopy Gang newsletter, as well as some slightly-more-than-free-stuff that I’ll be revealing soon.
Some secret other stuff which is just like so totally cool it’ll make your eyes pop out and your head fall off, at which point you won’t mind so much about the eyes.
Yeah, some of that too. Subscribers will find out soon!
As I’m so busy, I’ll posting a bit less often on here from now on. Not a lot less, mind you. We’ll still hang out and laugh and learn together.
To make up for that – and as a present for being so lovely and reading down so far – I’m going to share my super awesome brownie recipe with you. These are the best brownies in the whole world. Enjoy!
Here’s your shopping list.
- 200g Butter
- 200g of the finest dark chocolate money can buy
- 100g of milk chocolate
- 50g of cocoa powder
- 275g of caster sugar
- 90g of flour
- 3 big eggs
This makes enough brownies to last a couple of hours, regardless of the number of people you have. They’re good. Really good.
Now the instructions. Pay attention! 
Cut the butter and break the dark chocolate into cubes. Put them in a bowl. Rest the bowl on top of a saucepan filled about a third full with water. If the bowl touches the water then you either have an inappropriately shaped bowl or too much water – remedy the situation!
Now but the saucepan on a low heat and stir the butter and chocolate as it begins to melt.
Once melted remove the bowl from the pan and allow the melted chocolate to cool.
As it cools, sieve the flour and cocoa powder into a bowl to remove any lumps.
Chop the milk chocolate into chunks with a knife or whatever garden implement you feel like misusing.
Put the eggs and sugar into a bowl and whisk like crazy until you get a nice fluffy sweet mixture. This mixture is delicious…
Now pour the melted (cool) chocolate over the fluffy eggy goo and fold it together with a spatula. Keep going in a figure of air so everything is the same lovely chocolate color. Be nice and gentle because we don’t want to get rid of the lovely fluffiness of the egg goo.
Now sift the cocoa and flour mixture on top of the chocolate goo. When it covers the top, fold the dry mixture into the goo. This will look horrible and dry at first, but bear with it. Keep going gently until you’ve folded in all the cocoa and flour and you end up with a fudgy, sticky consistency.
Finally, stir in the milk chocolate chunks.
Stick the mixture into a shallow baking tin that you’ve prepared in whichever non-stick way you like. Make sure it covers the whole surface of the tin.
Whack it in the oven for about half an hour. You can tell when it’s ready because it won’t wobble in the middle when you shake it.
Now allow them to cool, chop them up and eat them.
They are best served with wine, coffee good music and great company.
TASTY!
See ya later, Alligator!
JJ Jalopy.

Good luck with the website improvements.
I’m redecorating too, but I’m really fed up with painting ceilings and my neck hurts! Any decorating tips JJ? I believe Michelangelo cheated and lay on his back to paint the Sistine chapel (wimp).
I can recommend the brownies, they’re rather good.

Looking forward to seeing the “new you.” The brownies sound heavenly. Not sure how to convert the grams to Cups and Tablespoons, though.
Sorry to hear that your team lost!

Grams makes your recipe sound illegal! Look forward to your site and our upcoming podcasts. Just think, if we rock how much more we will rock with the master of persuasion.
