Self-Defeating Romie is Self-Defeating

Wanted brownies yesterday. Made brownies. Burned my hand taking them out of the oven. Got sugar queasy from eating too much brownie. Put mustard on my finger and it's fine. Ate more brownie today which was not as successful an approach to "stop eating those brownies" as you might think.

Condolences.

I was craving brownies the other day and didn't make any because of not wanting to eat the entire pan, either quickly or slowly. There ought to be a way to make just one or two at a time---even an 8" pan is a lot. They're so much better when they are both homemade and fresh. (I live with a non-brownie-eater.)

Agreed. Although I'm in a house with five brownie-eating adults at the moment, that is not always the case. It seems to me there was some kind of single-serve frozen microwavable brownie thing marketed sometime in the last decade, but that wouldn't really fit the bill and as far as I know died a quick death and is no longer available.

Except maybe galettes, baking for one is not easy. It's probably the egg problem.

Occasionally I have wheat cravings (which are not good for me, as I am mildly wheat intolerant), and I give in. Very rarely, but you know. And recently I thought I would die if I did not have a brownie. Seriously. It was like some sort of spy operation getting one and eating one without C knowing and it was HEAVEN.
