What a wonderful idea! Every Christmas , 6 of we BFFs get together in one of two kitchens for our 35 year tradition of a "Christmas Bake-Off" . Linda and I both have 3 ovens, not because of wealth, but because during kitchen remodeling neither of us could bear to get rid of an oven that still works, so we alternate years. I'm more than 10 years older than everyone else (I'm 71, they're 59) and the kitchen chaos, while it's still so much fun, renders me unable to focus on recipes. I've been thinking that I'll make my sharing cookies ahead, have them wrapped and ready to go, and then will be ready to just be a pair of helping hands and dishwasher! Guess what one of my contributions is going to be? Your brownies, not just for the bake-off but also for my church bazaar and also dessert for the bazaar dinner. You've saved me from losing myself in a recipe search! So many thank yous on so many levels. I use only your flour, vanilla, espresso, caramel, etc,etc,etc
