York Brownies

So, I told you I'd probably tell you about these one day. That day is now.

You can use your favorite brownie recipe.

Basics: 
Spread half your brownie batter in a pan, arrange unwrapped peppermint patties - the small snack sized ones - over the bottom layer.  Then spread the remaining brownie batter over that. 

Cook, cool, slice them up and heavens to mergatroid! those are some tasty minty brownies. You'll be a hit not matter where you take these puppies.

The remainder of the Day ...

She felt the cobblestones rumble beneath her ballet slipper clad feet as she was washed in the wake of air created by the train rushing by in little more than a whisper.  The morning air was chill and the slight breeze carried a hint of second hand cigarette smoke from the goth girl up ahead in heels who trudged on without a backward glance.  Melancholy stole into her chest, her heart really, as the seasons morphed from warm and humid Summer to crisp and holiday filled Autumn.  Was it melancholy, or was it nostalgia?  She wasn't sure of the answer to the question, although it remained with her for the remainder of the day.
