I have a really small question, after all of this: Because I am lazy, when Trader Joe's didn't have the baking chocolate I wanted to buy for brownies, I just bought cocoa powder. All of the recipes I'm finding for cocoa powder brownies call for an 8x8 pan. I want to make a 9x13. Can I just double the recipe? OR, should I use a sub I found online of just adding more butter with the cocoa powder, and use a different recipe? (I also want to add choc chips and cherries, but that shouldn't be an issue, right?)
And in patting-myself-on-the-back news, I did remember my reusable bag AND put it back in my purse.
Stay off the computer, Suzi! I'm glad you're feeling pretty good.
Also glad meara did not set the house on fire. That was quite a day.
I have hamentaschen dough in the fridge, thanks to Holli, and S. is making shrimp scampi and it smells SO GOOD.
I double my 8x8 brownie recipe when I want to use the big pan. It works fine. (It is appalling how fast my family can eat up a 9x13 pan of brownies.)
Also, Casper is doing homework and Dillo is drawing a picture of her blasting off in a space in a rocket.
Amy I've told myself this is the only place I can post, unsupervised, for now. Y'alls are the bestest.
The kids are at the store getting my drugs and ice for my ice cuff.
I have no idea on brownies. I want to veg tonight, not play video games with the noodle, but he wants mom time. I want adult time and have a strong compulsion to be flirty, yet no one to be flirty with.
MMm. I want brownies.
You've probably thought of this, meara, but be sure to ask the plumber about the shutoff so you'll know.
Didn't ask, may ask tomorrow. Did have him change hot water heater temp, and fix one running toilet (took five minutes) while I had him, though.
Trying to decide if I should take out the drywall now, while it's wet, or wait for the insurance people to come and look at it. Probably will go with "wait", because I'm exhausted now, after all the excitement!
I double my 8x8 brownie recipe when I want to use the big pan. It works fine.
Cool, thanks....and on closer examination, the baking chocolate-using big-pan recipe I have is about half of everything else in the cocoa powder recipe. So that's good. OK then!
Stay still, Suzi!
Oops, misread question. Doubling works, but they're a little thinner, so the cooking time probably needs to be shorter. Or this may all be irrelevant.
They'll be thicker, no? In 8x13 or whatever vs. 8x8 doubled? Either way, I will keep a close eye! As soon as I get up to do this.
