Brownies!

The amazing Brownie

Brownies, “special” or not, are the most amazing pieces of baked goods that exist on Earth. These chocolate indulging squares, rectangles, circles, or whatever shape of goodness they chose to hold can bring joy to anyone.  Their flaky and toasty surface, crunchy bottom, and smooth center will captivate the taste buds of any sane person.  When you bite into this pleasant pastry it is like the whole world doesn’t matter; only the brownie does.  Any chocolate lover can spoil their senses with these chocolaty existences.  My love for brownies is increased when the square, rectangle, or circle of goodness is loaded with chocolate chunks. My passion for brownies often goes to extremes.

My personal record is eating more than seventeen brownies within a two-hour time span; I devoured them after a successful cross country race at the Sac-Joaquin Sub-section meet in which our team qualified for the Sac-Joaquin Section Championships. I am known for my obsession with brownies, and other sweets, by my fellow cross country teammates. Coach Ruegg decided to make these scrumptious beings my motivation to run faster races and my motivation to work much harder at practice. Occasionally he will hold negative feelings against my morbid consumption of brownies, especially when it influences my running performance.  I know obsession with brownies can lead to me becoming overweight or obese. It is an extremely painful act when I have to limit my consumption of brownies.

Brownies are the perfect companion for ice cream or just about anything. They make the perfect daytime snack or a delicious yet simple dessert after dinner. I always find myself pairing brownies with a different dish, even when the two combined don’t appeal to the common person. After races I munch down on brownies while most of my teammates gag at the thought of eating anything.  

One of my major hobbies is baking, especially brownies. I experiment and try to better the taste of my brownies every time I bake them. Sometimes I add nuts, chocolate sauce, or bake them at different temperatures. It is difficult to better the taste of something that is already perfect, but I find my ways. Brownies are an inspiration for me, not the special ones though; the clean version of this scrumptious dessert is all that is needed to better my day.

I enjoy baking for others; I believe it promotes happiness and pleases the occasional craving that we have. Brownies are a huge part of my life, and influence many of my actions. To most, brownies are seen as an occasional treat, but to me brownies are my main dietary supplement.  I always find myself baking brownies, it doesn’t matter if it’s one-hundred degrees outside or if it’s pouring rain, they always bring joy to me.
