(Makes 9-12 brownies)

Ingredients:
------------
4 ozs          unsweetened chocolate
1 stick        unsalted butter, room temp
1-1/4 C + 1 T  sugar 
1/2 t          vanilla extract
3              large eggs, room temp 
3/4 C          all-purpose flour

Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 300F.

Lightly grease an 8" square pan with butter or vegetable oil.

Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler placed over
simmering water 
Cool the mixture for 5 minutes.

Place the sugar in a medium-sized mixing bowl and pour in the chocolate
mixture.  Using an electric mixer on medium speed, mix until blended,
about 25 seconds [I'd just do it by hand with fork or whisk].  Scrape
the bowl with a rubber spatula.

Add the vanilla.  With the mixer on medium-low speed, add the eggs one
at a time, blending after each addition until the yolk is broken and
dispersed, about 10 seconds.  Scrape the bowl after the last egg and
blend until velvety, about 15 more seconds.

Add the flour on low speed and mix for 20 seconds; finish the mixing by
hand, being certain to mix in any flour at the bottom of the bowl.  Set
aside.

8 ozs     cream cheese, chilled 
1-1/2 t   all-purpose flour
5 T       sugar   
1         large egg, room temp
1/4 t     vanilla extract

Instructions:
-------------
Mix all the filling ingredients in a food processor and process until
blended, about 45 seconds.  Set aside.

Spread about 2/3 of the brownie batter in the prepared pan.  Spread the
cream cheese filling over the brownie batter.  Using a spoon, scoop the
remaining brownie batter over the filling in nine equal mounds arranged
in rows of threes so that there is some space between them.

Run a chopstick or the handle of a wooden spoon back and forth the
length of the pan, making parallel lines about 1-1/2 inches apart, then
do the same thing in the othre direction as if making a grid.  This will
marbleize the two mixtures.  Shake the pan gently back and forth to
level the batter.

Bake the bars on the center oven rack until a tester in the center comes
out clean or with some moist crumbs, about 50 minutes.  Allow the
brownies to cool for 1 hour before cutting.

It was Christmas and the judge was in a merry mood as he asked
the prisoner,  "What are you charged with?"
"Doing my Christmas shopping early," replied the defendant.
"That's no crime," said the judge. "How early were you doing this shopping?"
"Before the store opened," answered the prisoner.

T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.
They'd been worn all week and needed the air.

The Santa Claus at the mall was very surprised when a  young
lady about twenty years old walked up and sat on his lap.  Santa
doesn't usually take requests from adults, but she smiled very
nicely at him, so he asked her, "What do you want for Christmas?"
"Something for my mother,"  said the young lady.
"Something for your mother? Well, that's very thoughtful of you,''
smiled Santa.  "What do you want me to bring her? "
Without blinking she replied, "A son-in-law!"

Did you know that according to the song, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed
Reindeer", Santa has eleven reindeer?  Sure, in the introduction it
goes "There's Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet
and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen..."  That makes eight reindeer.
Then there's Rudolph, of course, so that makes nine.  Then there's
Olive.  You know, "Olive the other reindeer used to laugh..."  That
makes ten.  The eleventh is Howe.  You know, "Then Howe the
reindeer loved him..."  Eleven reindeer.  The proof is in the song!

As a little girl climbed onto Santa's lap, Santa asked the usual,
"And what would you like for Christmas ?"
The child stared at him open mouthed and horrified for a minute,
then gasped: "Didn't you get my letter?"

Just before Christmas, an honest politician, a generous lawyer
and Santa Claus were riding in the elevator of a very posh
hotel.  Just before the doors opened they all noticed a $20 bill
lying on the floor.  Which one picked it up?
Santa of course, because the other two don't exist!
