  • Oh, I'm sure. Quite, quite sure. I'll be bringing some to our next editorial meeting, so perhaps some of my colleagues will back me up on my claims. And just remember the baking style and wisdom of Julia Child and Justin Wilson -- a nip for the…
  • Hi Cheryl, and thank you! Since these brownies are extremely fudgy and dense, i.e., the yeast in the beer doesn't really contribute to making them rise, I don't see why you couldn't try another liquid. I'd start with milk, certainly, but the exper…
  • I'm not sure how well these brownies convert into HTML, but I suppose I could foist them upon the rest of the staff here at MLSP and let them offer testimony. But that would be cruel, wouldn't it? Forcing brownies upon your co-workers? It is, ind…

  • I don't have any particular experience with actually writing such policies, but I have worked in numerous environments where piercings were addressed by the office dress code. Most of the places I've personally worked have been relatively casual …
