It’s an incredibly gorgeous day here–beautiful blue sky with some puffy white clouds, sunny and mid-80s, which is unusual for this time of year. It’s nice break from the heat, and if we’re lucky, we might have a few more days like this. It might rain, but rain is better than heat.

I made a batch of Dotty’s PB Chocolate Brownies over the weekend. :: pushes some through the cd drive :: Hope that helps!
Oh and one note on the brownies, I think the conversion from metric is off a little. According to **KeithT **(my source for this kind of stuff), it’s closer to 5 oz of chocolate, not 6. And having tried it with 5, I might even cut back to 4 next time. They’re having a hard time not falling apart. Which isn’t totally bad, but it’d be nicer if they had a little internal cohesion.

I made the brownies, and they’re nice and chewy. Some of them did fall apart a little when I cut them, but overall they’re fine. Maybe I cooked them a little bit longer–they’re overdone around the edges, but the middles are perfect. They’re good, but next time I’ll use better peanut butter–I used Target store-brand PB, and it’s a little too gooey.
My most important life lesson:
Always use your powers for good.
What is wrong with people? It’s like a sport to see how many people you can ruin the book for, before they’ve had a chance to read it. I usually don’t mind spoilers, but some people need to be more considerate about it.
swampbeer, based on the previews for the movie that I’ve seen, I think you’d be a much better Edna than John Travolta. He’s pretty awful. And they usually put the best parts in the previews, so it’s really not a good sign that the previews are so bad. I’m sure it’s a very good movie, but I’m not a Travolta fan.
welby, your fish grilling party sounds marvelous. Why weren’t we all invited, hm? :dubious:
velvetjones, I think it’s a rule that you can’t have a good night’s sleep on Sundays. Just when you’re dropping off, someone drives by with their car stereo turned up really loud. Or the dogs start barking, or your neighbor starts doing something ridiculously noisy, just after midnight. And after all that’s over, just when you’re drifting back into lovely, dreamy sleep, the bunnies start thumping for no apparent reason. This is why it’s hard to get up on Monday morning.
Haze, I hope the new place works out. It sounds lovely.
LiLi, I had a tomato, cheese, and bacon sandwich for lunch. Nummy. I don’t have any butter tarts, though. I’ve never had a butter tart, but I think I’d like them. I like pretty much any pastry kinds of things. You can’t go wrong with pastry, unless it’s bad pastry, with too much salt, or too tough, or something like that.
kai, I hope the rest of the summer is better. Summer should be relaxed and warm, not toothachy and yucky. It’s hard to let go of bad friends, but sometimes it’s better for you in the long run.
The only explanation I can offer is that I never looked to make sure I was entering the info on the correct card!
