In other news, that Supernatural Brownies recipe that was in the Times a few weeks ago has been getting test-kitchen levels of practice chez moi, between baking for choir and friends under the weather, and it's almost to the point where I've got it memorized. It's incredibly simple, but so moist and fluffy it's worth the extra 15% effort above and beyond box-brownies. And it scales very easily, too; I've quartered the recipe for a personal pan-size one and the only weirdness was that the baking time was still almost exactly the same, wtf. (remark, when you get a chance, how do I add a compact version of this to Gal's recipes? *G*)

Things I never imagined doing that I in fact did last night: helping to teach noghri's mom how to play Wii Tennis. She had trouble with serves, but got a couple of good rallies going against Steve, who was playing with his non-dominant hand. He's pretty banged-up from the accident, but it could've been a lot worse, and at least both his parents were *already* coming to visit for the weekend; they just pushed their tickets earlier.
