BUT, an important preparation milestone has been reached, the brownies are done! At least my 2.5 batches are done, I think Mom's still cooking. She also baked a bunch of cookies over the weekend. Disaster was averted on saturday though, Mom lost an element on her stove and there's not a new one in the valley on a holiday weekend but luckily I have a spare stove (un-used downstairs kitchen) that somehow had the right part so we're all back in business.
