DAN BROWN Master Alchemist by The Great Dali Dearest Miss Olivia, Regarding your recent request, I enclose the following recipe for that wondrous alchemical treat... Dan's Magic Brown-ies, a formula so precious, that even I, the Great Dali Fulcanelli, son of Hermes, Avida Dollars to some, am amazed at the simplicity of its ingredients... for someone, at long last, has found the rarest of Philosopher's Stones: The Ability to turn Shite into Gold! Dan's Brownies For the Batter: 1 cup Holy Blood, Holy Grail 1 bar Black Madonna 1 tsp. St. Sulpice Spice 1 Tbl. Sauniere, diced Two Pounds Merde In a standard bowl, combine random selections from Holy Blood, Holy Grail with the melted Black Madonna bar imported exclusively from Italy by Da Vinci Confections. Preheat the oven to 300° F. Butter the bottom of a 8˝ x 11 inch parchment-lined pan. Lay 2 sheets of any Henry Lincoln book over the bottom of the paper. Brush generously with Merde. Repeat until half of the Henry Lincoln pages are used up. Spoon the St. Sulpice spice evenly over the last layer. Place two more sheets of Holy Blood, Holy Grail (preferably one of the photos featuring Godfroi de Bouillon) over the rehash mixture. Brush generously with more Merde. Repeat (this is the secret) until the remainder of The Temple and the Lodge (oh, you'll need that book, too, sorry) is used up (ending with Merde). Cut into Golden Number squares. Halve the squares to make Pi triangles. Bake for 1 hour at 300° F. Remove from oven and pour a little more melted Black Madonna on top. Saturate well. So, dear O-lé, perhaps now your little book Bijoux will sell! You may need a touch more Merde...
