Whoever said that you shouldn’t make brownies in a glass pan must not have a counter surfing dog because glass pans are the best to foil that, since it comes with a lid.
I’m the captain of my own ship rn.
The dog is supervising the inside of her eyelids.
Despite my car being set to English, it displayed everything in German briefly tonight.

Is that your fun way of referring to one of those rare events when, once or twice a year, English & German briefly coincide?
We don’t talk enough about personal disappointments. I don’t think most people even know how to talk about them. Not getting in, not having it work out, not going as hoped.

Wanna go outside???
Are you hungry???
Wanna go for a walk???
The only one I ever get push back on is outside. She says no by turning around and walking a few steps away from me before turning right back around and bugging me again. Then I know it’s play or walk time.
Nope. It was displaying things in German. I went to the ‘settings’ menu, to ‘language,’ and it was set to English. Uhhhhh, ok. I clicked the ‘back’ button and it snapped back to normal.
Questions like:
Are you a good girl?
Do you have black fur?
Is your nose wet?
Do you like belly rubs?
Who knows how to sit?
Food, play, and outside need no invitation.

Lids. They’re good for some things, bad for others.

I like them in the summertime. In a cast iron skillet, halved, on the grille with very high heat. Bacon fat is good. If I have none, then olive oil (not EVOO, as it smokes at too low of a temp). I like to brown them. Outdoor cooking keeps the cabbagey smell outside.

I altered your quote. Ghirardelli are my strong preference as I have bought many brands and that one stands out above all others, IMHO.
I would never bother making “from scratch” brownies when the box made Ghirardellis are basically perfect.

If you have any more in your freezer, I would open the whole package and dump it into a pan and roast in the oven.
And next time buy the plain ones and add olive oil & salt, toss, roast. When they start to brown, turn them and roast some more.
I guarantee you’ll get better tasting Brussels sprouts. Fresh is better than frozen, but frozen isn’t terrible. And it’s hard to overcook them. When in doubt, cook a little longer.

While I was loading up the dishwasher after dinner, Hubby poured himself a whiskey and me some amaretto. Without looking too closely (or noticing that he’d put my amaretto at my place at the table) I grabbed the glass he set down on the counter kind of near me and took a sip.
Whoa!! That was stronger than I was expecting!
Hubby gave me a funny look… if I wanted whiskey, why didn’t I just ask him for it?
Oh… that’s why it was so strong! It’s not my amaretto, it’s his whiskey. 
Did that as a 4 yr old. Thought the whiskey was apple juice. It was not. I spit it right out.
That was in the kitchen of the house we moved from when I was just over 4 yrs old. So one of my oldest memories.

I’ve got about 3oz of Ardbeg Oa left. What do?
I think you know the right answer.
In the interest of tidying up the house, let’s do this.

My kid did that with vodka, probably also at about 4-5 years old. I poured a shot, left the room, he sipped and started gagging. We still laugh about it to this day.
He has the personality of a gray, wet sock.
