2. Depends what flavor, but it's usually a brownie

3. depends on each

I love the dense, flat brownies my dad used to make with powdered sugar on top and he'd always save me a corner. But most of the commercially produced brownies I've had fell far short.

But for cupcakes, I love more varieties but none as much as Dad's brownies. However, dad is gone and so are his brownies (along with his sour-milk chocolate cake with caramel icing) so I can't have that so I'd have to take a good hard look at the cupcakes. I like the frosting my grandma used to make with not much more than powdered sugar and butter and cocoa powder (not sure what else which is why I don't make it).

But any cupcake as long as it has real butter frosting and not gross whipped cream frosting. Yellow cake with chocolate icing is all I need.

And a big glass of cold whole milk.

Bravo!

7. I am absolutely adamant

about the milk.


The rest is up in the air until i get more details.

13. Milk is a must...

...with chocolate. I put a mug of milk in the freezer for several minutes before drinking it so it is re-e-e-e-e--eally cold.

15. COLD milk, definitely

I cringe when I see those old movies in which a family sits down to dinner with a pitcher of milk on the table. Nothing like a glass of warm milk that's been sitting out before and during your dinner.

20. Well, if it was a really old movie,

they were probably drinking it from teat to table.

24. I have a friend in Montana

doing some kind of off-grid farming thing (solar power, free range chickens and cows and stuff). There is a name for it but I can't remember the name...anyway - he SWEARS by fresh milk straight from the cow. Only thing he'll drink now.

I kind of see what he's getting at with the no pesticides and no antibiotics and all that..but damn - No matter how healthy, warm milk just doesn't do it for me.

23. my wife does that every time she drinks milk too

She ain't happy til there's a thin layer of ice on top.

I don't need it THAT cold - my fridge is already pretty close to freezing so it's plenty cold for me.

8. Brownie

I'm more of a cookie girl myself but if those are the two options then I'll take a brownie. I don't really like frosting very much. Also, I agree with the big glass of milk.

9. Brownies, hands down! I still swear by the recipe Mom taught me many decades ago...

[Baitball Blogger]

11. My first effort with boxed brownies ended up with a food fight.

The recipe said to follow the recommended cooking times and not to rely on the toothpick test. I followed the instructions and ended up with muddy brownies.

Best.Foodfight.Evah.

[pinboy3niner]

12. Ha!

At least if they're undercooked you can put them back in (if you're not foodfighting with them). I set my timer for the lowest end of the recommended range and check them. No toothpick, though--i go by looks. I can tell when they're done and still moist. What I don't want is overcooked brownies.

10. Cupcake (preferably strawberry or chocolate). nt

14. Trader Joe's brownies, which are ...

...ever so lightly sprinkled with sea salt, are rather fine. I prefer brownies from the middle of the pan rather than the edges, and if slightly under done, so much the better.

and we'll be in heaven to-geeeeeeeeeeeeetherrrrrr...

30. All edge brownie pans exist

Though I'm still waiting for the no edge brownie sphere. Still need that oven safe gravity engine...

31. Clearly

the inventors of the world have their priorities in order.

But I hope you get your brownie ball some day.

19. Brownies with a little bit of cream cheese frosting. nt

21. Cupcakes are for the little ones. Brownies are more grown up and more interesting.

And honestly, you should stop eating cupcakes with pastel sprinkles when you reach 10 years of age...
