Bailey's Brownies.

Honestly, if you all knew me, I would have just left this post exactly how the title shows it. I feel that I shouldn't have to say anything. Instead, I'm more than willing to talk about the sweet concoction of Baileys Irish Creme Liqueur and fudge brownies. I should just get up, and walk away from my computer right now.


BUUUUUUUUUT...

 Let's not be boring here. So I was with my lady friend today and we decided to bake because when it comes to the kitchen that is as far as we go unless its me going to the liquor cabinet making my own new shot. Frankly, I don't give two shits about baking, but it was something to do on a windy January in Buffalo so here goes. We went to our local Rite Aid and found brownie mix (also, the last time I had a brownie let's just say it wasn't filled with just your typical saturated fats and coco beans. we used a bit of the earth to get the sweetness rolling. Anything less than that, I really wasn't interested in and would rather well, have sex). So we get to my place and start the preparation. As we start to make the batter I jokingly tell my friend "haha wouldn't it be funny if we put baileys in the brownies?" she simply says " you probably can just look into it"

I find a recipe...

Immediately I yell "It can be done!"
Now, being the little baker she is, she looks at my smartphone and follows the directions. It said to only add 1/4 cup of baileys...... I did not approve. So being the drunk I am I grab the bottle and pour more and she just gives me that look.....

 I laugh and continue to do it anyway, I mean baileys and chocolate is always a win. Why else do you think they make chocolate shot glasses? Let's be real.

So after everything the brownies come out moist and perfect and probably after four pieces, you're gonna have a full belly, and a bit of a buzz. Another plus that my phenomenal friend thinks of is cooking marshmallows over the brownies.

This has been a post.

Cool fact: Baileys almost has the expiration date like cereal. I'm not saying that I have extra Baileys around that long, but it is reassuring.

The First

   I think it's safe to say that whenever someone tries to boast about a certain topic, (whether its sports, politics, or religion) A reader has to have some sort of an origin on how it began. So, why don't I tell you about how it all began to be; my road to alcoholism.
   
   I was three years old and it was New Years Eve, my mom and  my grandma were in the kitchen, my grandmother sitting by the table with me, probably telling me some ancient story about how going to the movies cost you only 12 cents (I couldn't even count, which explains this story quite a bit), I noticed there was a large amount of tan water in her glass. What attracted me more to it, was the fact that there were bubbles inside. Not like pop though, it had it's own unique fizz that never settled.

   "grandma what do you have?"
" Oh it's Cinzano baby. Dar can Lauren have some?"

   Instantly my eyes glowed and I felt this sudden urge of excitement. "Was it Christmas already? am I getting anything I want tonight? Because if that's the case, I want in on Grandma's medicine supply, after she's done taking those, she seems like the happiest person in the world, her own personal Disney."

   Anyway, My mom pours me a bit of bubbly in my Barney sippy cup, and immediately I take it too my lips and drink. Instantly I'm intrigued by the taste; the fizz rises to your nose, and the bubbles tickle your tongue as it puts a smile to my face.
