On Tuesday, Lori and I had the rare chance to enjoy a spontaneous lunch together at Urban Standard, a young, hip restaurant here in town.
They have a pretty fabulous menu, so the entrees alone were delightful.
Perhaps more noteworthy, though, was the dessert counter. Although it was my first time there, I could tell right away that those desserts were no joke.
I rarely buy desserts, now. I'd rather have an ooey-gooey cheesy bite of anything over a sweet any day of the week.
But these?
Yes ma'am, that is cookie dough atop a fudgy bite of brownie goodness.
Whoah, Nelly.
I nursed mine for two days. I was sad to polish it off yesterday.
At some point, I want to try to make them. Lori (another reason she's a dear one) immediately located this recipe that I think will be the go-to when the time is right.
I can't yet, because it's just too soon. I haven't had time to totally emerge from the sugar-induced coma.
But in the meantime, I'm thankful for foodie friends like Lori; venturing into fun restaurants for the first time; and for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies.
That made for one mighty satisfying day.
What's satisfying you and keeping you thankful this week? Go on, be grateful!
