There’s nothing quite like a good brownie to make the final paper blues go away. This decadent steal of a half-brownie ($1.25) subscribes to a more “cake” brownie rather than a fudgey one.

That means that each luscious little crumb is like the most densely velvety constellation of cake heaven in your mouth. It crumbles, it melts. It’s magical. I keep tearing off tiny little bits and eating the crumbs off my fingers. They must put crack cocaine in this stuff.

Your tentacles do not impress me

Look at how cute it is!

I don’t understand why guys who try to impress me with strange they’ve eaten will often say they’ve tried squid/calamari. That is a little like saying they’ve had bone in chicken for the first time.

Just because it has tentacles, honey, doesn’t make you an adventurous eater.

(Also, don’t ever google image “tentacles.” I warned you. Don’t do it!)
