"I
was kicked out of the Boy Scouts for eating a Brownie" - Unknown
I don’t like
to give advice, but this one time, I’ll do an exception: If you go to Costco
and you see the box of two-bite brownies walk run away! Do not look back,
do not slow down, go straight to the customer service and return your card, you
will not want to go back to the store ever!
You might be
thinking: “I wonder what bug bit him today?” You are wrong! It is winter,
there are NO bugs! I’m just trying to prevent all of you from doing one of the worse mistake of your life, ever! Let me tell you my story…
Last Tuesday,
we decided to go back to Val-des-Bois. We needed propane and the cheapest place
to buy it is at Costco. So on our way, we stopped, and since we were at Costco,
we walked in the store to get a few items. So far, there is nothing to blog about except that I walked by the bakery. Usually I’m pretty good and just go and
smell the bread. So far in my 53 years and 357 days *wink* *wink* of existence, I have resisted but this time I looked at one of the box of brownies and I reasoned
why not, the expiry date is in March and we will have a little sweet to sweeten our meals.
They look innocent... Don't trust the look! |
BIG MISTAKE!
We arrived at our home for lunch, Christiane had made some sandwiches and we
enjoyed them. I looked at the box of brownies and decided to try one… Oh my
Gosh! They were the perfect brownies! I ate the first one, they are two-bite
brownie and I tried to respect the suggestion and ate only half of one… then I had all those
sensations coming to my brain telling me that my life will be changed forever! They
were so moist and so chocolaty, every bits coming down was like an orgasmic delight.
Hey Christiane where is my missing half? |
Looking at my
wife, I could tell she was also having similar a experience. I slowly reached for
another one, Christiane followed my lead and helped herself… we ate 3 brownies! We could
have expedited the whole box down our digestive track. The whole time it was so
quiet, all you could hear was hummmm hummm, we kept looking at each other
hoping the other one would take one more, so the other could just do the same and feel no guilt!
Thinking back,
we should have ate the whole thing at once, this way we might have hit (the box) bottom,
but we let reason guide us…
I found myself
spending a lot of time thinking about the BROWNIES. For me it was so much easier
to say NO to drugs. I NEVER even had a puff of pot, if I ever took any (illigal) drugs,
it would have been without me knowing it, maybe in something like a brownie (from Colorado:)),
but I’m pretty sure it never happened.
But those brownies, they are addictive for
sure, every time you take one, you are trying to re-live the first time you had
them. I’m thinking about going to detox and register for the 12-step Brownies-holics
program, which is: NEVER be more than 12 steps away from brownies. I would give
up brownies, but I’m no quitter!
Not a two-bite, it's a bite-two! |
On another subject, I just read one of the blog I follow. You have to check it out, it's Murr , I was sitting by myself reading it and laughed so much I was crying!
Don't worry, I'm keeping clear of those two bites brownies. I stay away from processed food as much as I can but not 100%. I'm at home today so I made some hermit cookies for the boys and had my two bites, well actually I had more than two bites.
ReplyDeleteNice two bites moustache.

That’s good for you Julia, if one person stay away… it will leave more for myself ha ha ha
DeleteNever had hermit cookies… maybe I could trade some for apples :)
Hugs
LOL!!!!!!!! That's me white that white fluffy icing cake they have at the bakery at Loblaws. Best. Treat. Ever!
ReplyDeleteElaine there is a lot of white in your statement LOL
DeleteNow don’t try to hook me up on something else, as of now, my life will be really complicate for a while with my brownies dependence!
BAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my, Richard, but you had me laughing out loud. Thank you for this warning. My daughter mentioned getting me a Costco membership for my birthday. I declined the offer because I don't really feel the need to shop there, but this is just an added reason to STAY away. This is how they get you. With stuff like this. And you keep coming back for more. And oh, that part where you wrote "we kept looking at each other hoping the other one would take one more, so the other could just do the same and feel no guilt". BAHAHAHAHAHA! That really made me laugh even harder. I do that all the time. Somewhere in my logical brain there is an illogical belief that if my husband eats one more brownie/cookie/slice of pizza/bite of cheesecake/ etc. it won't count if I do, too. Once cancels the other and there's no guilt!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Martha. To be honest, I still have my Costco Card. Just across the bakery isle, it’s the salmon, and that is a really good healthy choice… and if there is left over, my cat is always willing to give a paw.
DeleteAlso thanks to you now I want cookies, pizza and cheesecake. I think I’ll wait for Christiane to go to bed and have a serving of each… tomorrow I’ll deal with the guilt and the upset stomach :)
