3.17 - They Keep Getting Bigger

I think whoever orders the meeting vittles has a new supplier of food with elephantiasis added in as a spice or something. Seriously, again with the gigantor desserts.

These brownies were, like the Specialties' cookies and the sentient head-sized pastry, these brownies were obscenely large. Each was a meal on its own. Most of the time, people will take a quarter of a donut, or a half of a cookie on the pretense that a smaller piece won't be as bad as taking the whole thing. Of course, they end up taking a quarter off of five or six donuts, but at least they can tell themselves they didn't eat a whole one.

These brownies were big enough that I didn't feel the need to mock anyone for slicing off a piece and not trying to take on the whole slab.

I guess they were pretty good. A couple people actually squealed when they saw the coconut options in there. Squealed.

I don't squeal.

8.11.10 — Summer Party

We had our annual summer party at work today and took in a Mariners' game. I thought it would be foodaggedon, but it really wasn't. They had plenty of fruit and as long as I dumped the buns and kept to the mustard, a couple hot dogs and a boca burger worked out fine. So yeah, I did eat some things today... just not the potato salad. It looked crunchy. I can't do crunchy potato salad.



I'm starting to think I have more food-related achilles' heels than I thought. First it was just french fries. I LOVE ME SOME FRIES. Then it was ice cream. Now I'm thinking chips have to be on that list. Who doesn't like chips and something creamy and slightly onion flavored to dip them in? Damn chips.



Ah beer. Nothing like taking in lots of empty calories and only getting a gut and "honey, why did your coworkers leave you on the lawn again" questions from your wife in return.



And like manna from heaven, eventually the giant cookies and brownies appeared. The cookies were your basic lot, but the brownies... ooooh, they looked all moist and chocolatety. And yes, sometimes using the word moist can be a positive thing. Sometimes moist is good. Sooooo good. Of course I'm guessing here. They could have been solid as a rock. Yep, they probably sucked. I'll just keep telling myself that.
