  • 1. I admitted that I am powerless over Brownies and my craving has become unmanageable.
    2. I came to believe that a Brownie greater than myself could restore me to sanity.
    3. I made a decision to turn my will over to the Brownie as I understand Brownies.
    4. I made a fearless and searching inventory of the pantry.
    5. I admitted to the Brownie and myself the exact nature of my ingredients.
    6. I became entirely ready for the Brownie to emerge from these ingredients.
    7. I humbly asked the Brownie to remove the shortening (although the will of the Brownie, not mine be done and if the Brownie says shortening, then shortening it will be.)
    8. I made a list of all the people I have better taste than to invite over for lunch.
    9. I steered far clear of these people so as not to be forced to share my Brownies.
    10. I continued to take inventory and whenever I found the right ingedients I promptly baked them.
    11. I sought through prayer and meditation to become one with the Brownie praying only for the knowledge of the Brownie's many varietals and the power to bring them about.
    12. Having reached enlightenment and Browniedom through these Steps, I have committed myself to carry this message to others and practice these principles in all my affairs.


    And - then the Brownie said let there be ice cream and there was ice cream ... And the Brownie saw that it was Ben and Jerry's and said that it was good.  And then the Brownie rested.

  • Your fearless admission of, devotion to, and advocacy of the Brownie should stand as a wonderful example to us all. Please continue to share your courageous message with the thousands who remain in the outer darkness, the wayward who have fallen through their own weakness into the path of the Fruit Bowl or even the Cottage Cheese Plate.

  • yea though i walk through the aisle of baked goods, i shall fear no brownie...for thou recipe will be with me.  thy mixer and cocoa powder, they comfort me.
    you set a table with a place for me in the presence of calories.  you've anointed the batter with oil.  my measuring cup runneth over.
    surely cellulite and saddlebags shall follow me all the days of my life, but i will dwell in the house of betty crocker forever.

  • OMG those look good. The blog and the above comments are wonderful... a keeper for sure!

  • Well, hmmm... I shoulda got here sooner, so my comments coulda been those rewrites of scripture!  I love this, but will bow to the early birds on the commenting this time.

    Hugs, love and BROWNIES!!

  • Ok - when I read your blog I was laughing but when I read "Luckystars'" comment I about fell out of my chair!!  Too Funny!!

  • Do unto Brownie as Brownie has done unto you... wait, I don't think the Brownie ate you? wouldn't Ben & Jerry Fudge Brownie cover all the bases? (watch how deftly we can switch from biblical to sports metaphors...)
