well, you did manage to break some records...luckily enough, they're not of much use to us as the record player has been broken for some time.

Egads! Okay, so I'm ... elsewhere when this song strolls back into my life. I Remember what it used to do to me.... and it still does.

But more interesting is that it was somehow conected to this brillant Firefly vid: Mal's Song:

Absolutely Brillant!

*eyeroll*

Melt and cool a 1/2 cup of butter. Stir eggs in with 3/4cup sugar and 3/4 cup Ghiradelli sweetened ground chocolate and 1tsp vanilla. Add butter. Stir in 2/3 c flour, 1/4tsp salt, 1/4tsp baking powder and 1 cup Ghiradelli double chocolate chips. Pour into greased 8x8 baking sheet and bake at 350 for exactly 20 minutes. They should still be just a weensy bit gooey in the middle but the edges should just be starting to pull away from the sides. Take out. Let cool for about 5 minutes and then cut them into squares while they are still hot.

Best brownies EVER.

And, when those are done, will you bring me some mint chocolate chip ice cream to go with? Thanks!

I'm in it til the end. I've had renewed interest in the show lately, despite reservations I've had with this 3rd season so far. Looking at it in a different light, I'm beginning to really like it. I still have some problems with it, but I think there are possible answers for some of them.

As far as them being stuck there forever, I don't think that'll happen (or at least the show will be resolved in a timely fashion). The producers of the show and the head honcho of abc seem to be on the same page concerning the show, so it looks as though it will end somewhere around 100 episodes, likely 4 and a half to 5 full seasons.

i couldn't cope with that!

I think what i'm going to do is wait for all the seasons to come out on dvd, wait for my brother to buy them all and them watch them at my own pace and stop as soon as my brain starts to melt.

As it is i just don't manage to see it enought to get everything that going on... so i'm abandoning it for now.

So when does Drive hit British screens?

I don't like nuts in brownies. I'm a purist.

Honestly, this is the gorram best brownie recipe I've ever made. People BEG me to make it all the time, and it's easy to adapt it to make it dairy free, too.

The trick, really, is to pull them out right away, because if they cook until they're solid, they're not nearly as good.

I still really want mint chocolate chip ice cream.

I have mango sorbet at home, but try as I might, it does not taste like mint chocolate chip.

And why am I obsessed with MCC when it's 36 degrees outside?
