In Praise Of

DSC03702.JPG


...the mint brownie. Delectable, de-lovely, delish. I don't really understand the cupcake phenomenon. This little slice of perfection comes from Gabrielle's, a very busy bakery in Marietta, Georgia. Gratefully, Gabrielle's is not too far away to be truly remote, but not close enough that I find myself at their doorstep daily. Little mercies. I have enough issues without adding a mint brownie addiction to the mix - you know? So what is that little something that you find yourself craving ever so often?

This puts me in mind of lists. Here it goes. When I crave, I crave...

  • watermelon
  • lemon chicken
  • lemon italian ice - the real stuff.
  • cranberry bread
  • a good meatball with marinara sauce
  • artichoke hearts
  • a grapefruit Izzie
  • an omelet stuffed with mushrooms, peppers, cheese
  • orange slices covered in chocolate

Okay, I'm drooling. Puddles pooling. Lists please. I want to know what you crave.

Oh, another one: a warm popover with raspberry jam. AND mexican hot chocolate - the spicey kind.

i can only take two bites, max, of that mint brownie. rich, sweet stuff makes me gag.

my list:
-a hunk of fresh pecorino romano.
-craisins, white chocolate chips, and salted cashews.
-fresh salsa, aka pico de gallo, on a freaksihly salty tortilla chip.
-macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi.
-3 oreos with a glass of 2% milk.

also, i dream of a deep-fried salt lick, but have yet to actually acquire one.
