First Shalt Thou Pull Out the Holy Pin

Having an incredible day. My prayer group met at Denny’s this morning, and as usual, God told each of us to say pretty much what the others needed to hear. Lots of “coincidences” and useful info.

Now I’m making food for my church’s cafe. I just stuck two trays of brownies in the oven. I’m going to take them to church and put them in the walk-in cooler, and then I plan to make a couple of deep-dish pies. I wanted to do pie a la mode, but ice cream might be too hard for the cafe to handle.

I thought I was going to make chocolate chip cookies, but the pies are more exciting. May do some pizzas.

I’m also making some experimental faux croissant things from my weird cream cheese dough. I added sugar and yeast and increased the salt. The rolls are rising now. Or they’re not. We will find out soon enough.

I am wondering if my usual brownie-baking temperature of 400 is too high. Sometimes they’re a little brown around the edges. I’m trying 375, in a gross violation of one of my firmest rules: never change a recipe when you’re cooking for a group.

Hope my new chef helpers are there tonight. We will rock that joint to its foundation.
