| Too Much of Nothin' |
What was I Thinking???I'm baking some brownies for the nice plumber who's coming "before 12:00" to fix my broken water heater. I've been dieting for two days now, and I haven't done well, either. Now I'm baking brownies. That makes a lot of sense for someone who is brownie deprived and on a diet.
But the brownies are for the plumber, you see. Except that one 9 x 13 inch pan of brownies won't fit on a paper plate no matter how high I stack them. So I'm going to have to eat the rest.
I was wondering why I needed a 9 x 13 inch pan to bake these brownies in. You see, normally I'm really lazy and buy a box mix. It never makes more than a 9x9 inch pan of really thin brownies. But I didn't have any box mixes, so I made them from scratch. I didn't know that brownies from scratch would fill a 9 x 13 inch pan. I mean, it makes sense, but I didn't realize til now how much I'd been getting ripped off at the store paying $3. 95 cents for a box that only make a half batch of brownies!!! They should at least say that on the box. "This box only makes a half batch of brownies--so buy two of them (or 4!!) so you can really pig out!
I'm sure the cocoa company has the opposite view--the more brownies you make from scratch, the more they make selling the cocoa. So for them, a 9 x 13 inch pan is a "regular" batch of brownies. If I were them, I'd have two recipes. One for "regular" brownies, and one for "extra-super-duper-thich brownies" that takes the whole box of cocoa to make. Wouldn't that be a really good way to sell their cocoa?? I think so, cause I would bake 'em!!! And.....eat them!!!
