Our Easter brunch for Ruth's friends and fellow students who don't have any family in town (that's "Geo-Bachelors" in Navy lingo) was a resounding success. I will be eating ham sandwiches all week, but that's a cross I'm willing to bear.
I also have multiple volunteers for homebrewing assistance, which I'll be taking advantage of later in the week.
However ... to follow up on my "EXPENNSIVE BROWNIES!" post -- the brownies were, in fact, well worth the second mortgage ... but since two unexpected desserts showed up, they were COMPLETELY SUPERFLUOUS except as fodder for a funny story. I guess I'll be feeding my brewing assistants this week...
I have told a young co-worker about your experience. He has decided we should do a test comparing expensive brownies vs. cheap brownies. I will report back the results.

ooooh. good idea anonymous. A taste test must be conducted. I eagerly await your findings.
ReplyDeleteside note: I like ham. I eat leftover ham all week. Thinly sliced ham is ai-ght. Big chucky pieces of ham are special.
Test Results

Age range: 24 - 50
Occupation: Network Administrator - 7 Adult Educator - 1
Brownie Mix used: Ghirardelli Double Chocolate - $2.79

Guys decided that if they liked chocolate taste, the Ghiradrdelli won hands down, but they liked the texture of the IGA brownies.
General thought is that we need another test!
