e ended up eating really well (thanks to her doing all of the cooking - I got a little taste of what Jilli and Pete got when they had their friend the nutritionist living with them!)
I would so lower the rent to have a housemate who was a nutritionist, cooking for me. Or even just a yummy healthy cook.
Steph, Ouise gave me this incredible recipe for gluten-free cookies that taste a lot chewy brownies. I can post it if you want.
I wish you could go up to strangers and tuck in their labels. On the other hand, do that to me and I will kll you. Also there should be a no-shame code for "lipstick on your teeth."
Sue, you could post it for me!

Zen, here you go
Chocolate Melting Kisses
8 squares BAKER'S Bittersweet chocolate
2 tbsp (30 ml) Butter
1-1/4 cups (300 ml) ground almonds
2 eggs
3/4 cup (175 ml) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (125 ml) icing sugar
1. Heat chocolate, stirring often, over barely simmering water in double boiler (or microwave on Medium until semi-melted). Stir in butter until smooth. Stir in almonds and let cool to room temperature.
2. Using electric mixer, beat eggs with sugar util thick and fluffy. Fold in chocolate mixture. Chill until firm enough to roll, about 1 hour.
3. With icing sugar-coated hands, shape dough into 1-inch (2 cm) balls; roll in icing sugar until thickly coated. Palce at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart on parchment-lined orwell-buttered baking sheet. Chill for 10 minutes.
4. Bake in 350 F (180 C) oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until cracked and slightly raised. Remove pan to cooling rack; let cookies cool completely on pan. Store in airtight container. Makes about 4 dozen.
Fooooooootbaaaaaaaallllll!

Holy crap, that was a way to start a game.
