Up next is another Dwight moment. That's super random. He's in the kitchen making brownies and Andy's going to walk in and it's clear that he's just trying to figure out how do we double sales.
Speaker 1
Yeah, he wants Dwight to do the work for him, basically. I have a lot of questions
Speaker 2
about this scene. Yes. Can I just say one thing? What if you're like, no, Angela, not about the scene? Just
Speaker 1
about life. I know. I have questions about life. Here's my question. Where is he baking these brownies? We do not have an oven. Is this a microwave brownie recipe?
Speaker 2
It's got to be. I have known Greg Daniels to make brownies in a microwave, just saying.
Speaker 1
In like a
Speaker 2
mug or in a pan? I don't know how he did it. I just remember him for one time, him trying to figure that
Speaker 1
out. All right. Well, I got very curious about brownies in general, because at the end of the scene, Dwight is going to dump a bunch of nuts into the brownies. Walnut. And
Speaker 2
Kevin has a big reaction. Yeah, big old walnuts. Kevin's like, no, I'm with you, Kevin. I don't want a big walnut in my brownie. Okay.
Speaker 1
Same. I don't like nuts and brownies. And I wanted to know how did the nut get in the brownie? Was it part of the original recipe or was this an addition that somebody made? So I deep-dived the origin story of the brownie.
Speaker 2
Please, please share with me what you found. This is nowhere where I thought we would go today, and I'm getting my cup of tea and settling in.
Speaker 1
Well, here's what I'll tell you. The brownie is believed to have been invented in the United States in Boston. The first brownie recipe is believed to belong to Fanny Farmer. Let me go on a tangent about this badass boss lady named Fanny Farmer. I'm not sure I've been so excited about someone since we learned about Clementine paddle for.
