I am a semi-writer by trade. Don’t be jealous. Seriously don’t. My job is basically to write stuff you ignore on a daily basis. I create those store posters that say … BUY THIS!!! SAVE ON THAT!!! YOU COULD WIN!!! Real creative. NOT!!! But hey, that doesn’t mean I’m impervious to the ol’ writers block. Get it all the time. If I am at work I usually do one of two things to get my noggin working again:
Take a walk
Take a piss
Both free up my mind. And as we all know, when you’re not thinking about something that’s exactly when the idea hits you. If I’m at home I add one more trick to the list – scarfing down raw batter or cookie dough. The pure sugar, raw eggs, and powdered chocolate are like jumper cables for my brain. Since I am always trying to lose weight I kinda use it as a last resort, but that doesn’t mean you can’t. Here are my picks. Enjoy.
Betty Crocker Fudge Brownies: Nothing beats Betty C!!! This mix to me is pure perfection. It’s not overly sweet. Just the right creaminess. A nice chocolately taste. And I actually like that gritty texture. Feels like I’m getting something for my money.
Pillsbury® Cookie Dough: What really makes this a true stand out is the “dough to chip” ratio. When you finger the dough and get that nice big glob, you usually get like 4 -6 chips. That to me is the perfect amount. Anything more and you lose the taste of the dough.
BONUS:
Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy Dark Chocolate Frosting: In a pinch frosting will do nicely. Pillsbury is good too. I just think Betty gets the nod when it comes to the creamy factor. SERVING TIP: Use a plastic spoon. Metallic silverware will kill the taste.
man! my mouth immediately salivated. I so love chocolate. Can't loose with that. Rosemary
ReplyDeleteHungry....and laughing my ass off at: "And I actually like that gritty texture. Feels like I’m getting something for my money."
ReplyDeleteThanks for the supportive comment on my blog. I really appreciate it (and it made me giggle, too.) If I already told you that, sorry...my brain is everywhere today. Maybe I need to take a piss.
great now i want brownies.
ReplyDeleteso is that why they always say 'mix in glass bowl" or have some sort of anti-metal bowl or spoon rule, wow. i never knew that.
Ok so I have anxieties and one of them is samonella. I NEVER eat raw dough of any kind. Never. I obsessively wash my hands when dealing with raw eggs or poultry ( no red meat here).
ReplyDeleteI recently baked a strawberry cake with buttercream frosting and it kicked ass!
This is such a girl thing, I love it.
ReplyDeleteI too now want brownies!
Mmmmmmmm....droooooool....gritty texture rocks!!
ReplyDeleteI tasted one of the best brownies on this earth just last month. Now I'm in a different brownie bracket and couldn't go back down.
ReplyDeleteDang, I think I just became diabetic as I read this!

That sounds real good...Maybe someone should make up a batch of "special" brownies. The more you eat the more you want...
ReplyDeleteI haven't eaten since yesterday and now I'm starving. NEED CHOCOLATE FIX, ASAP!!!
ReplyDeleteIt didn't post my comment from earlier! That makes me sad.... Time to go get a can of frosting and a spoon!
ReplyDeleteVery happy to know it really is not just women that eat raw cookie dough!!!
ReplyDeleteGood tip! Take a piss and scarf down some raw cookies. I have to write that down for when I....uh....
ReplyDeleteCan't figure out what to write.
I KNOW I commented on this and it hasn't shown - stupid blogspot glitch.
ReplyDeleteBasically I avowed my love and preference for cake mix rather than the finished product.
