Seems like a waste of coca. I prefer
it straight.

Mess with Barb's brownies at your own risk, These are so fantastic you
should at least TRY the original recipe before you start fiddling with
it!

While that might be the best brownie recipe, the idea that brownies
could be up there with orgasms seems absurd. Even really great dark
chocolate is nowhere near up there with sexual pleasure. I've heard
it suggested that large amounts of cocoa can enhance sex, and have
many times thought of putting cocoa powder into 00 gelatin capsules
for that use. Funny, but a version of "Behind Closed Doors," sung by
a blues singer, just came on American Routes.

I don't have it off the top of my head, but it's easy enough to look up,
Steve. I think it's something like 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder + 1
tbsp fat (shortening or butter) to equal 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate.
Check it out online -- maybe the Baker's chocolate site.

Thanks, Fleece. That's what I should have told him. I don't use cocoa
- only unsweetened chocolate in solid form.

Dollink, they come with a couple blue ribbons. If that ain't good
enough for you, you'll just have to take a chance. (Might want to close
the windows in consideration of the neighbors, though.)

Substitution for 1 ounce (30 grams) unsweetened chocolate: 3
tablespoons (18 grams) unsweetened natural cocoa powder plus 1
tablespoon (17 grams) unsalted butter or shortening

Sounds like a personal problem, sqwertie. I got off just reading the
recipe. And my luck I am out of cigarettes.

You should quit breathing poison. It's two thousand freakin' twelve.
There are all kinds of nicotine replacements out there. As for your
premature ejaculation problem, not my area of expertise.

I agree, except for one minor point! It's "Twenty Twelve"!

We've been saying it's "Nineteen-<something>" all our lives when
referring to the current year (or any year, really), and I think we're
over the hump of the millennium change. I think we can save a phoneme
or two again. ;-)

And just to hammer down Bryan's point, being out of cigarettes is one
of the best things that could happen to you! Be out permanently!
