Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Another day, another mid-class meltdown from Mr. S. sigh....First couple of classes were ok, and the afternoon classes went alright, but inbetween...yikes.

This week off has not been terribly restful for me.

I just watched the worst LE product launch I've ever seen happen in real time. Hype a product set with a legendarily feral and large fan base, don't put it on the home or what's new page, don't tell people they'll have to use a specific search term to find the product page, and have it sell out in 5 min.? Your project managers are a disaster.

While I'm Really Angry about not getting the thing I wanted (Pete said he could feel my rage from the other room), I feel sorry for whoever has to handle their social media accounts. Which have said NOTHING in response to this.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

how should we pronounce "pecan,"

You didn't ask me, but I'm going to say it anyway: p'KAAAAAN!!!

What is even happening?

How did the brownies turn out, Cindy?

Like something a thin Bryn Mawr graduate, whose father was a Connecticut doctor, would bake and call "brownies."

Ha! Not going to try them, then, check.

Happy Hanukkah!

askye, I feel bad for your dad. I am glad he's feeling better physically.

You didn't ask me, but I'm going to say it anyway: p'KAAAAAN!!!

I like this, dcp.

I say pik-AHN, but I'm becoming somewhat less prescriptivist about such things in my old age.

I always find it funny (emphasis on "fun") which little nothing conversations on here have stayed with me.

Ha! Not going to try them, then, check.

Less flippantly, they weren't bad, Jen, but I think I'll try a different recipe next time. If I were to make them again, I'd double the recipe for sure. I made them for the lowest amount of time listed (and popped them in the fridge to cool), but they weren't fudgy.

Someone linked me to the King Arthur recipe last night. I think I'll try those [link] or Alton Brown's [link] next time.

I look forward to your brownie rankings.

Cindy, do you have the Buffistas' cookbook? vw bug's brownie recipe is in there.

Edited to correct. I do have some recipes in there, but not my brownie recipe.


JenP - Dec 10, 2020 3:32:59 pm PST #933 of 30000

Oh, my god! I think I had that! What the hell did I do with it? What even did it look like? Did I really have it?
