Hi, I'm Karen. I am a food snob. Oh, I can call myself a foodie or foodist, but I really need to call a spade a spade. I am a food snob. Now the defense offered is the fact I am a really good cook. Can cook gourmet meals and not think anything of it. I get paid to cook for others. A good deal all the way around.
Today, one of my closest friends challenged my snobbishness.
We were chatting while she ate a quick lunch. It has been prom week at our high school and the drama of high school girls has reached a fever pitch. LB is one of the pair of prom sponsors and the stress is taking its toll. The sandwich she ate was not bad. Did not raise major red flags. However, what she chose for dessert...
On her desk was a piece of caramel cake with chocolate frosting. The cake had never been great to begin with - 5 days earlier. I believe this particular piece had been sitting on its paper plate on her desk for several days. I told her not to eat it. Said I could provide chocolate if that was what she was looking for...
When she tried to cut into the square with her fork, the resistance to the fork caused the plate to bend.
How wrong is that?
She ate it all. I was afraid for well being.
Well, LB lives. I think I need to take real cake or dessert in to both her and the other sponsor. Maybe the administration too.
They need a treat after this weekend of promerama drama.
