    Marvy, you live just close enough that I could take you up on that offer : ) And cream cheese icing on brownies? How did I never think of that before. I have leftover homemade cream cheese icing in the fridge right now, may have to bake a batch tomorrow.

    hey yeah, just a couple hours drive and you could be here, eating brownies with me :)


    honestly i was too lazy to look up the cream cheese swirl recipe so i just threw cream cheese icing on them. not bad, not bad at all!....although i kinda wish i left some without so i could add some PB on top.....I think i will just do something like that with the next batch

    hmmmmm, interesting idea. that could be really good. too bad the icing is already set & i do not have any oreos. that will have to be on the list to try later.

    It's not uncommon for me to miss sleep several nights out of the week. So I know your pain, OP. Also, sweet Sithis. Those brownies sound awesome. Good thing I have cake.

    I've suffered from insomnia for years...I take 3mg of melatonin and even that sometimes takes hours before I finally crash...

    Melatonin is very hit or miss for me. when it works, it works well. when it doesn't work i will stay p even later that night.

    and did you ever notice that it makes you feel off balance? after i take it i feel very groggy and stumble around like i'm drunk in the morning.

    I go through cycles of no sleep... I hate the feeling of being so tired you feel like you are walking in slow motion all day... And then still too tired to sleep.

    Actually I never feel the groggy side effects with it...but if it doesn't work it's usually not working for a few days and by then I am like "grrr" and about to murder someone because I am sooo exhausted...
