Snow_Dog and Intrepid_camper -- hats off to you both!  I appreciate your sage advice.  I'll let you know how Liz's cooking goes, and now I can criticize and critique her as she is in the process...as if I know what I'm doing!  I'll send pics.  

Oh yeah, the attached picture depicts a great way I've found to cleaning up after mixing the brownies...
