h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Sweeps in with devil-may-care florish and a wicked smile!

Hi everybody!

I was hanging around h2g2 (as you do) minding my own business, when all of a sudden I smelt the wonderful smell of freshly baked brownies! I said to myself: self, you must seek out this wholesome goodness and lo and behold - here you all are!

Rapture! Joy! Brownies!
May I be so bold as to join this little membership drive?

Ah, but if it were a natural appendage, would it not be soft and supple until the child grows into brownie-age?

That's friend, dear Wowbagger.

depends on what side of the brownie you are on
by all means join us, the more the merrier
*hands wowbagger a rather large brownie*

Let me join this sweet discussion with a fine receipt how to make the best chocolate pancake! Mix eggs, flour, milk until it gets the right fluid form. Bake it. Fill with cocoa poweder and apricot jam (best house-made). Gourmands can put it in the oven, and bake it further, then you can cut it into neat slices.

*peeks in basket*

... a dozen hungry children sayin'
"Is there anything left for me?"

(Spot the reference.)

I don't recognize the reference, but I think I've figured out some of Monsy's secret ingredients! Well made, Monsy!

Welcome friend Wowbagger! Monsy's Brownies are dangerous so watch out, you need to eat them before they eat through your plate!

Not to mention your liver!

and brain cells

So allright, I forgot a few items there. But when the alcohol laden brownie molecules invade your brain they induce a state of bliss that you can truley experiance the wonderful Brownie in full. That and the alcohol will weed out old tired brain cells that you are not using anymore at any rate. This makes you more efficient in your thinking and you will be able to coerce.... errrrr....Invite more people to join our church!

yea!! see, my brownies are good for you so eat up everyone and afterwards we will see who can best perform the funky chicken while balancing an egg on their nose
monsy

Thank you for the brownie Monsy.
And Anonymouse I DID mean fiend (or is it feind)?

The ingredients ARE rather special aren't they? They remind me a bit of the space cakes I ate in another forummmmmmmmm.

And don't worry, my liver is pretty strong. It's had to be.

Monsy really does make the best brownies! All rich...and chocolaty...and flamable. The best ever!

Yes.. yes... Instead of flaming piles of dog crap, kids are throwing flaming piles of pie crap

let's hope that was just a play on words and you were NOT calling my brownies pie crap!!!
monsy

So where's all these recipes? I'm assuming all the ingredients are available at the standard local grocery emporium? (if only)

Oh, god, forgot about the diet from hell - OK, so which ingredients can I omit (and feed to the chocolate-weevils) but which still leaves me with a wholesome and satisfying choclate snack

as long as you leave the alcohol then they should be fine
of course leaving the alcohol means that you will no longer care about the diet from hell and you will decide to go ahead and add the other ingredients as well
monsy

Ah, that's the hard part... I have decide to try a 'low fat' diet - as one of the deciding factors was the alcohol. So a low fat chocolate brownie recipe with loads of booze to compensate for the lack of other stuff - would be great. I anyone knows one, I would pay handsomely for such an exquisite recipe.

(and so would the chocolate weevils, frisky little blighters. They came in with Marv's pet goat and they refuse to leave.)

I came up with a brownie recipe. I make the brownies in a sort of oblong shape and give them to all my co-workers who suck up to the boss. I call them "nose brownies".

Of course I add minced weevils because they don't seem to notice.

So am I in, then?
