Yes to the Library! Out of the two dozen or so books I've read on my Kindle, I've only actually purchased two. If your local library doesn't have a wide selection, I believe Philadelphia and NYC libraries allow out-of-city members for a small fee.

I took my salmon out of the fridge today. I used two separate filets - one turned out great (thicker one) vibrant orange, nice taste. The other filet was a bit thinner and came out a grayish orange color and has a lot less flavor, and an almost mushy texture - it doesn't taste or smell bad but I am afraid to eat it - has this happened to anyone? Maybe it wasn't as fresh of a piece? The other piece tastes great and I will try this again, maybe with a fresher cut.

I just tried it out with your ingredient conversions and the original recipe's instructions. I had unsweetened chocolate, so I had to add another 3/4 cup of sugar (guesstimate). The batter was so thick I couldn't even stir it (I should've added flour gradually), I loosened it up with 1/4 cup of milk. If I did it again, I would use a lot less chocolate. They are an interesting melt in your mouth consistency and a bit addictive. Certainly not low fat :)
