Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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....

Nice job Steph. I asked my doc when I can fully return to karate and he said a month (boo) but I can return sooner without pushups or hitting pads with full force (yeah). Never thought I'd say I miss working out, but I really do miss it.
