Brownies...

It’s kind of a joke with people who know me; just how picky I am when it comes to food. Granted, I love to eat I am just terribly picky when it comes to what I want to eat. The BF hates going out to eat with me because I will tear up a meal from off the menu and create my own (but I figure if they have the ingredients why is it a big to make me what I want…plus I am never rude when asking for these requests, as I don’t want t a side of spit in my food).

I am especially snobbish when it comes to baked goods!! So, the Lovely Liz (you should check out her blog, it cracks me up every time I read it!!) asked me about a local brownie company here in Austin called Mary Louise Butters Brownies. Well I was close to the local grocery store for lunch today and decided to try one. Being the snob that I am, I thought I would go the safe route and do a traditional brownie with walnuts in it. A co-worker saw me about it eat it and said their Beer Brownies are amazing. Now for a regular person a comment like that would get you excited to eat that brownie, for me I don’t trust other peoples opinions, just because of my pickiness.
The whole marketing feel of this company made me want to love them so bad. I mean the vintage labels, the huge list of brownie flavors (Rose) and the look of the brownie. Well I did a picture show of how my brownie experience went down….they shall speak for themselves of how I felt after eating the brownie!




I guess I will have to seek out my own perfect brownie recipe!
