Red Lobster - Seconds, please!

And the Taste Buds Say....
Nothing... they can't.  They are to busy savoring every minute of this brownie!  Seriously, delicious!!  When I took my first bite, my friend sitting across the table said, "Now that is the look of a great brownie."  I liked the fact that it was nice and warm and just gooey enough to taste all the chocolate.  The toppings were simple, but just enough.  Not too much to over power or take away from the brownie.  The carmel was a good touch.  


My only thing is, give me more!  When our waiter, Donavan, brought it out and put it on the table I wanted to ask him if he ate half our brownie.  It looked so small.  Donavan was great at putting up with our comments and did a wonderful job serving us.  The manager came by and explained to us the reasoning for the size.  Stating that it's on their dinner deal where you get a soup, main course and a dessert... so they didn't want something too big after all that food.... understandable, but come on... give me more.  I LOVE brownies!  I'm telling ya, this is worth coming in for just the brownie, but make sure you get your own.  You will want every bite.  Since it is a little small, the price is also small, so if you want just a taste or something little, it might fit you.  But as I said before, give me more!  


So, this one now moves up to my #2 Brownie.  Taking Chili's down to #3.  Make it a little bigger and they might see themselves making the #1 spot on this oh so important blog!  


Amazing chocolate yumminess! 


Adventure and Memory behind the brownie....
On this latest adventure I was join anxiously by my dear friend Nicole.  Nicole and I use to work together at my previous employer and quickly became friends over our common love for FOOD!  When ever we were at a luncheon or something where they would say, "Ok, come dish up your plates..." and everyone hangs back for a minute not wanting to be the first in line... Nicole and I would gladly break the ice and be the first in line.  Not only were we the first in line, but once the line went down we would look at each other, give the look, and be back in line again for seconds.  It was always nice to know I had someone else there to make the seconds trip with... That can be an awkward trip to take alone.  It's like the trip you have to take walking into a party and everyone already knows each other and you're coming in late.  Or the trip to go up to talk to the judge about your speeding ticket in front of everyone.  Or the trip you make into a panel interview feeling like you're about to be put in front of a firing squad... all trips you don't want to make alone, but you have to just do it.  But taking the trip for seconds is so much more enjoyable with someone.  And Nicole was always there for me on my trip for seconds (and sometimes thirds....), my dear Seconds Buddy.  


This night happened when my sister mentioned on my Facebook page that she had the brownie a-la-mode at Red Lobster, thought it was amazing, but wanted to see what the expert had to say about it, aka.....ME.  Nicole saw this posting and wanted to join in.  So we went in JUST for the goodness.  When we got there, sat down and looked at the dessert menu, it was no where to be found.  So we started thinking of other places to go.  We were ready to leave when Donavan, our server, came and saved the day by informing us they did in deed have one.  Phew!  The night was saved!  I can't imagine what would have happened had we not experienced this amazing chocolate yumminess!  


Nicole is such a women of faith.  It has been a blessing to have her in my life.  So many laughs and memorable moments.  Our favorite topic would have to be boys!  Now she has only one handsome boy she loves that she talks about, but I still get to talk about boys!  She is so good to listen and give frank and honest feedback!  A dear dear friend that I am honored to share this brownie with.
