sj, I'm wondering if it's not so much that the brownies will go bad as it is that the texture of them will start to change after a day or so. With brownies, the big problem is that they'll get hard. So, if you package them as airtight as you can, you may be okay.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Oh, I'm so sick. Still, can probably handle latkes. Which is good, 'cos there are people coming over to make them with us.
It's a longstanding Jamaican tradition. It was called egg cup, and people would travel from house to house getting served egg cup at each one, and they'd pour out a libation for departed ancestors.
That's a great tradition. Clearly I'm wrong about the American thing. Wikipedia thinks it began in eastern England, but I have no idea how reliable that is. [link]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'd always thought of eggnog as a British thing -- it just seemed like what they'd be drinking at Mr. Fezziwig's party -- but I don't know why I thought that.

I just went to 7-11 to get some frozen burritos and a bag of potato chips, and they had a display of vegan cookies from a local bakery right at the front. I'm both impressed and confused. Local bakery selling stuff at 7-11?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I like Silk Nog quite a bit, though.
Mmmm. Silk Nog. I might need to get some today. Or just make eggnog.
I do love the nog.
I don't approve of sheets under 400 thread count.
I've read a few articles that say that manufacturers who claim their sheets' thread count is above 400 are just engaging in deceptive wording: [link] .

That sounds about right actually. You just don't encounter it much now. First time I got to try it (this was a mistake) was in the US.
The Girl is annoyed that she can't find Baldrick's drum song, from Blackadder, on youtube. So she's looking through an entire season of episodes on DVD for it. Now that's dedication to the cause.

Thanks, Anne. I have been wanting to try this brownie recipe, but I think I am going to stick with bark and cookies for shipping and make the brownies to bring with us on Christmas day.

Random question, based on a few letters to advice columns I've seen recently: If you host a holiday dinner, like invite a bunch of relatives over for Thanksgiving or whatever, do you give each guest some leftovers to take home?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I usually at least offer. But I'm not fancy.

Our wings are not tired.
Mmmm I do like the nog.

Huh, they never last long enough here for that to happen.
Hil, we have always ended up sending food home with people, but I never thought it was expected or traditional. More a function of cleaning up after the meal.
