Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Thicker. They'll be thicker. Apparently I'm living in backwards land.

Hee. We're OK.

Now I want brownies, but in my current mental state, who knows how they'd turn out.

Oooooh brownies. I have mini butterfingers.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Butterfingers are proof of a benevolent deity or just a universe that really, really cares.

ION, my body makes me laugh. In the past 2 months, I have been working out MUCH harder than I have in a while. I have, however, deliberately been not "dieting" in the sense of reducing calories to make the number on the scale get lower. And it hasn't. (And I haven't. Trader Joe's mini peanut butter cups are my weakness.) But I've lost 1 1/2 inches off my waist and -- seriously -- 2 inches off each thigh. In TWO months. That's wacky.

I guess I can wait to make these until tomorrow, but it occurs to me that I'll have extra choc chips, so maybe a few now....
