quicko: further thoughts brownies

Besides not finding brownies very frequently in Australia (and, did I mention, they tend to be entirely too rich when I do find them?  even Max Brenner makes them too exquisite for me), I've been told recently that Australians perceive Americans as all coming with their own, somewhat different brownie recipe.  I happen to favor Betty Crocker in a box, but have the utmost respect for others who choose differently.  Furthermore, I've decided I'm taking brownies to Brennan's Thanksgiving next year.  There just wasn't quite enough chocolate to go around and, gosh, if there's any food I'm most thankful for it's got to be brownies.  Hands down fantastic chocolate.  Brownies just can't be beat.
