Brownies… Mmmmmm.

Posted By on January 30, 2008

No, no, no! Not those kind of brownies. Geez.

Ethan is making brownies. Why he has decided to start baking knowing that I am on a low-carb diet is absolutely beyond me.

Hey… wait a second. You don’t think? Naaaah. Not Ethan. He wouldn’t dare torture me that way. Would he?

That little bastard.

Maggie is sitting in front of the oven and without taking her eyes off the pan keeps yelling, “Is the chocolate cooked yet? Is the chocolate DONE?!?!?!!?”

“Awww, come on, Ethip… Ethip, chocolate is gooooooood. It’s really, really gooood. Is the chocolate done yet?”

Somehow, I believe, my intense love, nay, intense passion for chocolate has resulted in a child who is abnormally obsessed with it.

I don’t know whether to be frightened or really, really proud.

I’m going with proud.

But, if she kills Ethan for the brownies, I’m going with frightened. Really, really frightened.

    I believe that every diet is allowed a cheat once in a while!

  4. Mr. Fabulous says:

    It seems like he ought to make enough brownies for EVERYONE.

    i am making a lemon pound cake because i love lemon but particularly lemon glaze with fresh lemon juice and a little zest. i like lemons in general is what i’m saying, but especially when accompanied by ridiculous amounts of sugar. but low carb dieting is awesome 2

    Miss B – Absolutely NOT!

    Avi – You, sir, are NOT helping!

    Jen – Not if you have only been back on the wagon a week and half. LOL

    Mr. Fab – True, true.

    Crys – Ooo, that is the same way I make my lemon glaze. I should send you my recipe for Orange glazed angel food cake. It is to DIE for!

  7. DutchBitch says:

    Yeah, go with proud… for now…

  8. Chickie says:

    If you chew up the brownie and spit it out – is that bulimic? You could give the spit out to Sophie. I hear chinchillas like treats.

    Or maybe this is a really bad suggestion.

  9. Crazy Lady says:

    It sounds like Maggie may do some harm to Ethip if he were to withhold the chocolate from her.

  10. Amy says:

    DutchBitch – Definitely!

    Chickie – give me a second, I’m thinking 2… no 3 shots of bacardi and I might be able to catch up with you.

    Crazy Lady – Hypothetically, let’s say a certain 4 year old bit a certain 16 year old on the ass, would that make your statement true?
