bpcyclist, my friend, do you know what this thread made me do? It made me make brownies! I'm not sure if I feel better or not. My house smells good. Anyway, I found a recipe that calls for olive oil instead of butter. We'll see how they've turned out. I've been trying to cut down on saturated fat in order to maybe lower my cholesterol. I'm more concerned about my cholesterol than my weight.
