MOT.  My Olive Theory.

The Olive Theory is from the hilarious show How I Met Your Mother.  It basically states that opposites attract. 
The protagonists of the show, Marshall and Lily, are an Awesome Couple because they fulfill The Olive Theory. Lily loves olives while Marshall hates olives, which makes them completely compatible and a superfantastic couple.  But later on in the show, we find out that Marshall actually loves olives, and he only pretends to hate them because of The Olive Theory – but they are still a superfantastic couple, even though they no longer fulfill The Olive Theory.

Well, I have my own Olive Theory!  A person who is just the opposite of me, yet we are fabulously compatible: My Olive Theory.

MOT hates beans and jalapenos while I love them.  MOT likes the edges of brownies while I prefer the centers.  MOT only eats the white bread in the basket at the Cheesecake Factory and I only eat the brown bread.  MOT likes to cook while I hate it.  MOT is a Sandra Lee while I prefer to be a Ina Garten.  MOT likes to bake with mixes while I like to bake from scratch.  MOT loves to decorate desserts while I love making desserts.  The list could go on forever…but we’ll stop here

And so Mint Chocolate Brownie Cups were born!  These were created by MOT, aka BonBOn, my very opposite-of-me-but-still-compatible roommate!  They’re Duncan Hines family style brownies baked in cupcake pans, and then frosted with a semi-homemade mint frosting and topped with Andes mints.  They are so cute!  She’s so superb at being creative with her sweets.
