I wonder

Last week I went to the bakery up the street...now bakery/deli, and met their new baker who had just made turtle brownies. Upon the recommendation of the women that work there, I bought a couple. My husband and I shared the first one on the way to our daughter's doctor's appointment, to which my husband described it as "this is one SERIOUS brownie!"...


Well, the second brownie sat idle in the kitchen the rest of that evening and the next morning while rummaging around the house I remembered it. I'm much more a frosting/icing fan than a nutty brownie fan so I swirled my finger across the top of that lone brownie several times freeing it from the frosting. There was one layer of chocolate frosting and one layer of caramel chocolate frosting..and let me tell you... each.and.every.slurp.of.frosting.off.that.brownie was ~YUM~.


So a few days have passed and I just remember that that brownie is no longer in the kitchen.


Did my husband eat the brownie in the dark and not realize that I had slurped off the frosting? Did he eat it in the light and simply not care that I had left the brownie bare? Did he look at it repulsed and throw it out? He's never mentioned that brownie to me...so I do wonder.

That frosting sure was good!

Update:

Apparently, I did such a good job of cleaning off the frosting that my husband didn't even know there was supposed to be frosting on it!

So indeed, he ate the bare brownie.

I am a brownie purist and I don't like frosting on my brownie. So I'd gladly offer my frosting to whoever wants to pick it off. I don't know what it is about frosting and brownies, but maybe the goopy-ness factor is just way high when you put those things together. But then, as a kid I never liked chocolate ice cream on a cone because I felt like it melted faster than vanilla and I just did not like the mess.
