   When I lived in San Antonio, I had some severe ant problems (which I
discovered one day while making brownies only *after* melting the chocolate
and butter), which prompted me to store all my dry ingredients in the 'fridge.
Unfortunately, the brown sugar turned into one huge, rock-hard lump.  (I
moved to a less temperate region just so the ants wouldn't want to follow
me, so now I don't have those problems).
