I am going to a dessert pot luck tomorrow. I happen to like dessert because it’s always vegetarian unless it’s bacon pie or beef tarts or some shit. But everyone likes dessert right? Except for fascists. I hear they don’t eat desserts. They eat orphans and the elderly, and quite frankly they deserve to be eaten.

Anyway, I am thinking of making chipotle brownies. Which sounds like it could transport you to a place with a unicorn (see previous post) or make you vomit in your own mouth. It is a risk. Like I can totally be that girl and show up with a plate of chipotle brownies and people will be like oh man that girl sucks and I’ll forever be known as The Girl Who Sucks At Dessert Making. Which I suppose is OK because, to be honest, I’m not great at dessert making but come on, I don’t really suck at it. I hate being misunderstood. It is like being in high school, which is only one step above getting a colonoscopy on the list of things I Would Rather Not Do Unless Extremely Large Amounts Of Money Were Paid To Me.

Then there is the added pressure that the host of the party was trained at the French Culinary Institute and is a kick-ass real-life chef, and not some guy who claims he is “a good cook.” Like this guy is the real deal. Worked at Bouchon and some other sexy outfits in the city. He carries his knives with him to work. I wish my job let me carry knives. But since I’m not a chef, I’d have to work as a ninja or something. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but there just aren’t a lot of ninja opportunities in New York.

Anyway here is the recipe, if I do it I will let you know how it all goes down. Which is most likely a combination of sweet and spicy.
