I know better than this.

I must not, must NOT leave food-in-progress in the kitchen while also playing video games. Ever.

Y HELO THAR, dried-out brownies.

Get a big labrador! They solve this problem neatly: leave food unfinished on the counter, the lab will eat it.

There's this fascinating device that can remedy the classic dried-out brownie scenario: it's called a "milk jug".

At least it's just “dried-out” and not “immolated”, or “immolated, and good luck getting that pan clean ever again”.

(The immolated-brownies incident I witnessed in college was, however, a different but no less exciting kind of kitchen fail.)

Not on counter, in oven. O woe.

My mom is the queen of 'over baked brownies'. When she has brownies that I make, she's always "why, these are so good..." to which I reply "I take them out five minutes before they should be done".
Don't feel bad...when I do cook, I always have to set the timer on the stove, or I will 'set it and forget it'. Good thing I'm not in charge of cooking around here or we'd all starve.

Oh noes! Da brownies have coded! Get the vanilla ice cream and hot fudge sauce STAT! Administer one bowl of brownie sundae treatment!

Somehow I missed this one...sounds like an excuse to make trifle to me....make some syrup (with liqueur, of course), brush on dry brownies, crumble up, layer with creamy goodness...
