Well, if you call a $6 brownie from Sweet Infinity in The Strand Arcade "store-bought"!
I must have walked past the window of Sweet Infinity five times this afternoon before I gave up and just went in. It was the window display of brownies. There was literally a pyramid of them, cocoa-dusted chocolate bricks stacked sky-high. So in I went, resigned to the fact that this was the day that I will finally get my hands on Leanne Beck's renowned handiwork.
There was one customer before me, a middle-aged woman, dressed in full business attire. Take a guess on what she ordered :D That's right, it was the darned brownie. And, when I asked for one too, the lady behind the counter said, hilariously, "that's my afternoon...fetching brownies". Sounds like a fabulous way to spend one's afternoon!
I had a hard time waiting until after dinner to dig into the brownie. But I succeeded in the end, and the reward was all the sweeter for it. Served with a scoop of creamy Connoisseur vanilla ice cream, the brownie simply made my eyes roll to the back of my head...Nigella style! :D
And like Nigella once said, "everything in moderation...including moderation!" As much as I would have liked to gobble down the whole, giant slab, I knew I'd enjoy it more if I spread it out over the next few days. So into the freezer it went, to be microwaved and served with more ice cream tomorrow night, and the one after that...
And just in case anyone should think to lay their little, greedy paws on my brownie:
