I made these yesterday, when I was taking my brand new KA Stand-Mixer (the big one, 7 Qt & 1.3 Horse Power!).

I tripled the recipe, and these were fantastic. I just baked a dozen now, having let them sit for about 24 hours. I have been using my own little variation of the Levain Bakery recipe (which are awesome) as my go to recipe, but I can see this one making an appearance a lot more. Just great cookies. We'll see how well they hold up the next day, not they ever really last that long to start with.

Probably. Aside from research I do online for work, 80% of my browsing is food related... mostly blogs. I just find it interesting and relaxing, and it's a great way to learn.

I'm all for sharing, and will gladly give out any of my recipes to anyone who asks. I too believe that food is meant to be shared, and if someone likes what I have made that much to ask for the recipe, how can I not? Besides, I want people to share their recipes with me, I think that's how you grow as a person and as someone who loves food - by trying new things, and by exploring other peoples food experience.

Totally agree. This is the only reason I ever really think to go to Wendy's. I like there burgers just fine, I just never think to go there. But when the Mushroom Melt is in town, I will make a special trip... several times. And I only get the burger, no fries. It is terrible, to be sure, but oh so tasty.

About 3 years ago, the mrs. and I went to Bymark in Toronto, for our 10th Anniversary. Dinner for the two of us came to around $300. I thought it was worth it. The meal was amazing, the service was fantastic, and it was just a great night.

Between the two, Big Mac definitely. A little surprised at the majority of Whopper choices. I guess I just assumed it would at least be a little closer. I do like a good Whopper, but pretty much every BK I have seen is fairly disgusting. The place just always looks and feels dirty.

I happen to have had one of these for lunch today, and it was fantastic.

Chips and french onion dip, pop-tarts (rarely, but still) and Chef boyardee pizza mix. I usually get a box for christmas, and one in the summer. It's so bad, but so good.

Awesome. That's what I thought, I just wanted to see what others had to say. Thanks so much for your help.

chewy and fudgey please... as for nuts, it just depends. After all, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.

I have been using this recipe by Nick Malgieri for a couple of years now as my "go to" for fantastic brownies. Works every time, and draws raves. Plus, as a chocolate addict, it ranks high for me for taste & texture.

My in-laws got me a "Cuisinart PrepExpress", which is some sort of shredder/grater that you point like a gun. I've never used it, and don't see myself ever using it.
