But, but, but that recipe requires judgement, or guess work, or stuff like that!

I love Jesse's recipe.
I am vaguely considering looking to see how many bags of brownie mix we have left. If we have two, I think I may cook brownies for my students tomorrow.

OK, so it's 3 tablespoons of tomato paste, a teaspoon of mustard, 4 tablespoons of chili powder, 1 or 2 chipotles.
And it's not guess work, it's tasting.
Mmm... chili. Maybe I'll make some tomorrow myself.

Hee. Tasting is good. I can do tasting.

I'm terrible with the measuring. Even when I fake like I'm using a recipe, I make half of it up. I got it from my mother.

I actually do that a lot too. It just takes me a couple of tries with a new recipe to get it how I like it.

I am terrible about following recipes, too. That's why I suck at baking. Baking requires precision.
Hrm. Not sure it will make enough brownies even if I double the batch.

Yeah, I can do OK with baking, but I'm not that into it. And actually, the thing I bake most often is banana bread, which I use a recipe for the base of, but then add and subtract some stuff anyway. Not that I've made it in forever.

My one successful baking improvisation was turning a banana bread recipe into pumpkin bread. Mmm.
Okay, I'm gonna go make the brownies. I can just cut them kind of wee.

Ooh, that sounds yummers. As do brownies for class! One of my classes last night was devoted to time for the groups to meet, and the prof brought wine and cookies, and it was awesome. So nice.
