You guys are familiar with my dislike of chocolate thing, right? I don’t care for it but I’ll partake from time to time. My brother Tim and his family arrived earlier following their trip to Australia, and as always Tim bought me a gift (after all these years, he still does that). This time he bought brownies from a place called Dello Mano in Brisbane, Queensland Australia.

Now I say this with my abhorrence of chocolate baying at the door: I love these brownies!

I love them so much I went to their site and placed an order. I even joined their FB page and mailing list. They describe their style as Belgian. I don’t agree. The chocolate is Belgian but that’s about it. I’ve had Belgian brownies and these ain’t* them.
 


To me Belgian brownies lean toward semi-chewy chalk whereas these have the texture and taste of heaven…or as I imagine heaven would taste and feel if bitten. Whatever….they’re light years away from Belgian brownies. And the coconut & lime are so good. Too bad I only have one of those left.

Anyway, I’m stalking their site and I see they also make weddings towers and favors. Sold! I can scratch wedding favors off my to-do list.

Check them out when you have a chance. Before anyone else calls me out, I've added Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce to the Foodies page. Damn, you guys are on it!

*UPDATE*
Greg and Tim grilled tonight. Holy cow, the steaks were outstanding! I'm not a fan of red meat but it was really good. You can exclude the sherry if you like...we did.


*That’s right! I said ‘ain’t’!
