*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MASSAGE *** At least one respondant to my Chocolate and Beer posting asked for this recipe. I'm too lazy to convert to mod.recipes format and besides, coming from a copywrited source, I believe this recipe can not be included. The source is Bon Appetite, probably 7-10 years ago. I've excluded the frosting which I never tryed and I think is excessive (did I say excessive negatively concerning chocolate?) Bittersweet Brownies 350 degrees, 40-45 minutes (or less), 9 by 13 greased pan, yield 40 1.5 cups sifted all-purpose flour 7 oz cocoa 1.5 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1 1/3 cups butter (part shortening okay) 2 cups sugar 4 eggs 1/4 cup corn syrup 2 tsp vanilla 2 cups coarsely chopped nuts (optional, they specify toasted almonds) Preheat oven and grease pan. Sift first group of ingrediants. Cream butter and sugar, add eggs one at a time, then corn syrup and vanilla. Beat well and add nuts. Spead into prepared pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes (they lie, it seems to take 30-35, at least in pyrex at 325). DO NOT OVER-BAKE. These brownies are still soft in the middle when done, the edges will be slightly firm. Let cool completely in the pan or they will turn to mush when you cut them. I remember once being so stoned when I made these that I misinterpreted cups of butter for sticks (of butter, not of Thai). The brownies came out fine, this recipe is probably too rich (did I say that about chocolate, yea gods, I must be on a diet!) -- Jerry Natowitz ihnp4!houxm!hropus!jin (official) ihnp4!opus!jin (temporary) Institute for the Study of Non-existent Phenomena

The source is Bon Appetite, probably 7-10 years ago. {then a recipe follows this part in his message} I don't understand why he thought that copyrighted material was not appropriate for mod.recipes but is appropriate for net.cooks. Both are being reproduced and distributed. If you read the copyright blurb at the front of cookbooks, it states that the material may not be reproduced in any way. In general, various rulings on copyrighted material has said that it is okay to make a single copy for personal use but multiple copies or distributing it (even if by electronic means) is a no-no. There are many times people on net.coooks have asked for recipes I have but since the source is copyrighted I do not feel that it is proper to distribute them. A pointer to the recipe in the cookbook is the appropriate response. This may be a too simple understanding of the copyright laws but I believe not. I welcome a discussion of this point (and will cross-post this to net.legal if I can get it to work). Remember that if you published a cookbook, you would feel that you were entitled to the royalties too. -- Anita Cochran uucp: {noao, ut-sally, ut-ngp}!utastro!anita arpa: anita@astro.UTEXAS.EDU snail: Astronomy Dept., The Univ. of Texas, Austin, TX, 78712 at&t: (512) 471-1471
