I managed to fuck up brownies somehow, and I had promised to bring a pan to work tomorrow to celebrate the end of a terrible business arrangement that nobody outside management thought was a good idea. How do you fuck up brownies. While still delicious, these are essentially a chocolatey brick that managed to get stuck to a thoroughly greased pan.

[Frumple]

It can happen, B. It can happen.

Not really the easiest thing in the world to screw up, but it's not impossible.

And... look on the bright side. Nothing caught on fire, right?

Only the hearts and souls of those touched by his Brown Majesty.

I've screwed up making popcorn. Get outta here, acting like messing up browines is something.

Ship it to me. I'll eat that brick, and enjoy every bite.

(You probably mis-measured the oil or something. It happens.)

Pretty sure I used too much sugar, actually. Basing that on the stickiness and the texture of the surface. I probably overcompensated for the fact that I used brown sugar (it's what I had) instead of white. I'm keeping them, because they're delicious. I just can't bring them in tomorrow because they aren't sharing-quality.

... screwing up making popcorn is pretty easy. Hell, I've had the same microwave, the same day, at widely spread times, burn popcorn when the exact same timing, brand, etc., didn't burn earlier in the day.

And that's not getting into different brands, which can burn at different times, or different microwaves, or different preferences among the popcorn eaters for how burnt the stuff is and just...

... I've have an easier time cooking, like, full course meals than I've had consistently cooking popcorn. Popcorn is my preparatory nemesis. Which is sorta' good, 'cause I don't really like it so I never really pop any.

[mastahcheese]

This makes me happy that I don't care for popcorn, because I know how annoying it is to make the pointless stuff.

[Frumple]

Eehhh, pointless I wouldn't call it, least for my region. Popcorn's actually one of the least expensive salty snacks on the market around here, and it's not too bad with some cheese.

Or just cheese popcorn period, but that's more expensive than the plain stuff. *shrugs*

[mastahcheese]

For me, it's either caramel popcorn or nothing.

And screw toffee popcorn, I've eaten enough shitty toffee popcorn to just give up on that endeavor.

[Descan]

Isn't brown sugar... MORE sugary than white?

So if anything, you should have toned down the sugar because of subbing, rather than bumped it up...

[Tiruin]

Brown sugar is generally unprocessed sugar. White sugar is generally processed sugar.
Processed sugar is generally worse for the body than unprocessed sugar because its artificially made. :v

...So yeah it's...'more' sugary than white. If we're defining it superficially.

[Flying Dice]

Brown sugar is better than refined sugar for the same reason that Mexican coke is better than American coke: not only is it less harmful (relatively speaking), but it is more enjoyable.

[Bauglir]

Less sweet, though, on account of having things other than sucrose in it. And it takes a lot of sweet to overwhelm the bitterness of baking chocolate. Semi-sweet? BAH. Only time it wants sweetening is in baked goods.

It's incredibly cheap, you can get a kilogram bag of it for less than a loaf of bread. And it lasts longer. Only downside is that if you spill a bag that big there is no way for a human to find every kernel.

and it's not too bad with some cheese.

OH COME ON
Why cheese on everything?
