The Truth About Chris Sharp

Lest you think that he's perfect...

Tonight after he ate his supper, I gave him the very last brownie. Deep sacrifice for me. We're listening to music, talking about existentialism, when he turns around and... you might want to sit down... throws the crusty part of the brownie in the garbage! The garbage! In a rather distressed tone I ask him, "What the heck are you doing? You don't throw a perfectly good chocolatey brownie in the trash!" He looked somewhat surprised and maybe a little scared and apologized, trying to justify himself on the basis of the brownie being a little hard around the edges. So?!? I mean, honestly, can this relationship survive when we are that different? "Hard around the edges".... phffff.

How shameful! Throwing away perfectly good chocolate! I have the opposite problem, if I don't eat it Brian sees it on my plate and thinks it's free food. Hello!

For those that are convinced that the edges are the best part, treat yourself to one of these.

As old man Chris gets older, it gets tougher for him to chew the harder brownies.

the corner piece is my favorite b/c of the crustyness. now an overdone brownie pan can require a bit of milk to rehydrate the brownie corners with each bite, but you do what ya gotta do.
and that is never toss the crust.
