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.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I don't think I remember ever having them at home, but they were definitely a staple of bake sales and Girl Scout meetings.

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.

I'm not sure I ever had them growing up, but I think I knew what they were. I definitely do now, and have for many years living in DC....
I just usually think that brownies are much more important. :)
(But I do have a very good blondie (aka "brown sugar brownies") recipe, because an old roomie made very good ones, and I got her recipe)
