A Double-Double error
This is not a slam on the Detroit Tigers, though it certainly could be. Yesterday, I made a horrible realization. I was perusing the brownie book for a recipe to give Jennifer on Friday, and, in doing so, discovered I had inadvertently only given her half of the Double-Double recipe prepared last week. Turns out there were supposed to be two more layers on it--a "brown sugar frosting" layer, followed by a chocolate glaze. I wondered how the recipe could be called "Double Double" with only two layers, but the pondering stopped there. Now I know why the name was chosen. At the end of the page I had given her, it said "Let cool" and I just figured, given the way the book is generally laid out, that that was the end of the recipe. I now realize the wrongness of my ways.
After revealing this massive gaffe to Jennifer at this morning's reference meeting, we both concurred that they still tasted just fine, and that if I hadn't found the error, none of us would have been any the wiser (except, perhaps, pondering the Double-Double name). I feel it would have just raised Jennifer's PITA rating anyhow, but maybe not.
All of this Double-Double talk makes me want to go to In-N-Out Burger. NOW. Dammit all. As if all the Halloween candy around weren't enough of a distraction (considering I ate not even ONE piece of candy last year while on my diet--an amazing feat of self-control). But I most certainly digress.

John's comments were intriguing enough that I decided to try one of these. (Not that I needed any encouragement!)
In fact, to support the idea of the Double-Double brownie, I had two helpings this time...not.
