When I am invited to my cousin's home for holiday dinner, she always bakes large quantities of numerous desserts. The desserts are usually sitting out on a counter for a few hours before dinner. For many years I have always 'sneaked' one cookie before dinner. I do this in view of my cousin, who 'mock scolds' me. I never sample a dessert (such as a cake) that would be visibly altered by what I remove. I would never do such a thing with other than family... My daughter thinks this is horribly rude. I see it as amusing (since it is an annual 'ritual') and only as a compliment to my cousin, who is an excellent chef/baker.
What do you think?
well try to keep the italian guys out of the pasta sauce when its cooking. the ladies too. you pretty much are expected to have extra bread around so the quality control group can have a test sample.
how old is your daughter?
if this is the worst noise you hear from her, you are a lucky man. if this is the worst you do to your cousin, i think you are forgiven.
If you weren't supposed to sneak the cookies, why did she put them out like that?
wow. =) the-old-sneaky-turn-the-tables trick. shes an enabler! a cookie tease! you should get an apron with "cookie tease" monogrammed on it. she might not wear it. but shell probably laugh. and your daughter will likely turn shades of crimson you havent seen yet.
my wife has made me go out in the dark and the rain for a cookie. ok, it was actually a "gooey brownie", and it took three stores to get it... but hell hath seen no wrath like a woman without her chocolate...
