Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

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!!!

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.

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.

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?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was just thinking about that cookbook last night, trying to remember if it had an eggnog recipe. Did I go find it and check? No, I did not. The shelf I think it is on is not easily accessible at the moment.

move out and draw fire

A lot of the US is getting the Northern Lights for the first night of Hanukah!

They are even supposed to be visible from VA but I'm not sure we'll be able to see them.
