This time I have something to talk about and it's about brownies. I never really liked brownies because a.I find them too full of walnuts, b. they are too dry (read: NYDC's cardboard brownies that crumbles to dust as your fork pierces its innards...), c. they're supposed to be full of chocolate, but they're NOT. Three good reasons why I'm not a brownie fan.
Recently, we had a good reason to buy a 1kg crunchy-based chocolate cake from Choc.A.Bloc since it's my mother's birthday. At the 11th hour, plans got changed and her birthday party got scrapped for something better, but that's another story for another day. So anyways, I had to cancel my order of chocolate cake. Because Choc.A.Bloc is so near my workplace, I thought I'd pop by there one day anyways to see if I could buy a slice of their sinfully divine (haha.. geddit?? geddit? Sinful yet divine?? Evil and good?? nevermind...) for tea-break. Instead, I left with two slices of brownies and $8.50 less in my wallet. As I left, I was thinking "What the...! That's not exactly cheap for brownies! It's just 2 pieces!" but I decided to give it a shot anyways, afterall they are a reputable chocolate cake shop.
I've not looked back since. This block of chocolate addresses every wrong I've met in other brownies and heals my faith in this dessert like a soothing chocolate balm. It's very moist, extremely rich, superbly chocolatey and not so nutty. It's also VERY ACCESSIBLE to me, being a stone's throw away from my office!
Goodbye my wardrobe, I am letting you go for the love of a good brownie. Farewell, my jeans. I've known you for less than 6 months; perhaps we'll get reacquainted when my affair with the brownie is over. Oh, and Intuition? Great news, there's more of me to love now; ) (Except that my affection shall be divided between you and the brownie, but you wouldn't mind, would you?)

hear ye this msg of hellfire and brimstone with great fear and trembling, you sinful brownie lover! Indulge no longer in the fattiness of seductive wayward chocolate pastries but instead repent and exercise divine faith in exorcising the flabby wraps from thy thighs and tum!
ooooooo that sounds like a truly delicious brownie!!! i had a fantastic brownie meself just a wk ago too - in Edinburgh. it was soooo good i tell you, rich n moist, and somewhat sticky chewy-ish *yumm* the best part was that it only cost 1.75! but pounds that is.
Singing tigger: Foooood... ^-^ Oh man, you gotta let me know where this pastry shop in Middle Road is... Or maybe you shouldn't, cos I'll absolutely balloon... but then, I would love to try their rum balls... oh no, i'm so conflicted!!
flab-u-loss: oh woe is me!! damned if i eat, damned if i don't! i want to repent, but the flesh is weak... and hungry :P
