You did the smart thing, you froze your soup in several containers.

I don't know what I was thinking with the chili leftovers from DH's last bathtub batch of it. I dumped it all in one giant container and now there's a frozen block of about 2 gallons of chili in the freezer. Maybe if I pull it out of the freezer today, it will be thawed enough to eat around February.

Thats a lot of chili! I am sending some home with my sister at Thanksgiving. She loves it.

I made the pierogis. They are full size 4 cheese, and topped with hot sauce and sour cream.

Thank you Bob!

Right now, it's definitely overwhelming. I may need to do some baking therapy today.

Congratulations on moderator status! I'm sure you'll make a great moderator!

I mentioned my depression yesterday, well, I'm feeling a little bit better today. Going to be baking some mozzarella.

I also played Tiny Tim's Living in the Sunlight on my ukulele. That made me feel better!

Knock You Naked Brownies
April 30, 2011 1606
SERVINGS:
12 Servings
INGREDIENTS

• 1 box (18.5 Ounce) German Chocolate Cake Mix (I Used Duncan Hines)
• 1 cup Finely Chopped Pecans
• 1/3 cup Evaporated Milk
• 1/2 cup Evaporated Milk (additional)
• 1/2 cup Butter, Melted
• 60 whole Caramels, Unwrapped
• 1/3 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, chopped pecans, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, and melted butter. Stir together until totally combined. Mixture will be very thick.

Press half the mixture into a well-greased 9 x 9 inch square baking pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven and set aside.

In a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of boiling water) melt caramels with additional 1/2 cup evaporated milk. When melted and combined, pour over brownie base. Sprinkle chocolate chips as evenly as you can over the caramel.

Turn out remaining brownie dough on work surface. Use your hands to press it into a large square a little smaller than the pan. Use a spatula to remove it from the surface, then set it on top of the caramel and chocolate chips.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for several hours. When ready to serve, generously sift powdered sugar over the surface of the brownies. Cut into either nine or twelve helpings, and carefully remove from the pan.

*Adapted from the classic "Knock You Naked Brownies" recipe, based on a dessert at the Salt Creek Steakhouse in Breckenridge. These brownies don't really knock you naked...but almost.
