Seriously? No one knew what Blondies were? Huh.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
People who did not know what they were: one grew up in Maryland, one in Virginia, one in Alabama and Seattle, one all over the place but mostly North Carolina and New Orleans.

Art Crawl!!!
I know what they are and wish I could have one right now.
Of course, I discovered them in a cookbook - not from family tradition.

I don't think I remember ever having them at home, but they were definitely a staple of bake sales and Girl Scout meetings.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I love blondies. As a kid I never understood what the appeal was since in my head blondies were just brownies missing the chocolate. Then a friend made me a batch of the simplest, most delicious blondies ever. And I understood. And asked her for the recipe, of course!

I've never had one. Are they yellow cake or white or what?

They're chewy like brownies, but the flavoring is vanilla instead of chocolate.

sounds nice...we don't have much of a domestic tradition in my family.

I'd describe it as a toffee bar. The recipe I use has more brown sugar than flour in it. So rich and good.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
If someone handed me a food-stuff of that texture and dubbed it a "Blondie" I'm pretty sure I'd crack that code pretty quickly.
In fact, I'm pretty sure this is what happened when someone gave me my first blondie when I was three or four or whatever.
