Okay, that's a couple of weeks' worth of hearing about them delicious Blondies. How about a recipe?

Also curious about fluffernutters. Both how to make them and how to find more ways to work that word into everyday discourse.

Those blondies ruled.

First, get a wife that can cook. Then...

I'm pretty sure that you blondies don't require any cooking, just baking.

Fluffernutters are even easier -- if you can make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you have all the requisite skills to make a fluffernutter (just use marshmallow spread instead of jelly.)

The recipe I used .... that other recipe is too cakey for my taste.

Chewy Blondies

1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1 cup of brown sugar
1 egg
8 tablespoons of butter - melted
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of butterscotch chips (or whatever you happen to like)

Butter an 8x8 pan (or use a little canola oil to coat pan)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Mix ingredients together - pour into prepared pan.
Bake 20 - 25 minutes or until set in middle.
Allow to cool, then cut into squares.
ENJOY!

This is the real stuff - nothing else will do! http://www.marshmallowfluff.com/pages/homepage.html BTW, I can cook too. :)

"Just baking"?? Baking is a skill that I envy, and it's too often undervalued.

Here's to all the master bakers in the world. Here's to Stacy's blondies!

[Roel]

1) I didn't mean to suggest Stacey couldn't cook. I'm sure she's an excellent cook. I was just pointing out that making blondies nor fluffernutters doesn't require someone who can cook. It requires someone who can bake. And who can put spread on a sandwich.

2) I didn't mean to suggest that baking is inferior to cooking, only that it is a separate and different skill.

Note: I'm not the type of internet poster who likes to troll threads and pick fights. I'm just here to hang out and enjoy the company and contribute if I have anything useful to say. Cheers to all.

^ Understood sir.

[Short-Stacked Shamus]

Thanks Stacey! Have now had a few tasty blondies (my wife made 'em, I should note). Flutternutters are in my future. I may be able to handle those myself.

Now I need to go back into episode 64 and find out what all goes into The Mike sandwich. :D

[King of Podcasting]

I dunno if it'll be as good without Mike actually making it for you. That's the real appeal. "Mike, make me a goddamn sandwich!"
