One of the most important things in life is dessert. And when you are a charter member of the Taste Buds, you love cakes, cookies, pies and ice cream (anyone for Izzy’s?). And what could be better than dessert with close friends after an evening of stuffing yourself with fine Italian food at Luci’s in St. Paul, MN. But better yet, what could be better than eating your friend’s dessert?
How does one accomplish that you ask? Ah, there is a path to such bliss – read on. The first thing you need to do is to find a trusting person that enjoys good food and friends. Then you need an accomplice. During dinner you play along as if it was any other ordinary dinner – making small talk, having some laughs, eating and drinking. And then, when it’s time for dessert, make sure that person is ordering something that you will enjoy. Encourage them to get that blueberry dessert – it looks fabulous! When it arrives, the real work begins. Make sure that your accomplice is positioned strategically next to your victim. Have her chat on some engaging topic, creating a diversion. And when he’s fully engaged, dive! Take the fork, slice off what you need (and deserve) and gorge yourself! Then sit back and enjoy - you’ve earned it.
You may take a bit of abuse for a few years, but it’ll be worth it. And think of the fine lesson you’ll be teaching your friend. But be careful, true Taste Buds never forget…
Very complete-and accurate-description. How do you know this works?
ReplyDeleteAlso, you taught a lesson. To "lessen" is to reduce something, which you did, but the spelling is still WRONG!
ReplyDeleteWolfie, we'll save it for another time to talk about your own spelling prowess.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Matt, something has been troubling me. I thought that dessert in the original theft was rhubarb-based? Or maybe there were blueberries lurking about...I can't remember.
