My recently singled sister and I had a revelation this weekend. Allie makes pies for all her boyfriends. In fact, the reaction of the pie-giving pretty much determines the quality of boyfriend they will become.
Pecan Pie:
After slightly over cooking a pie, my sister meekly handed over the fruits of her labor to her significant other.
Reaction: He didn't touch it, didn't try it. Might as well have thrown it in the dumpster right in front of her face.
My reaction: Ate half of it. If it's not unedible, eat it. That's my philosophy.
Key Lime Pie:
Allie slaves over a key lime pie. After all, it is his favorite dessert. He arrives at the house. She appears, smile on face "I have a surprise for you." She flashes the pie in front of him.
Reaction: "Thank you so much." He's appreciative. He devours most of the pie.
My reaction: I like him, appreciate the appreciation. Now, this particular relationship didn't exactly work-out, but we still respect him.
Clearly, the pies are not working out for her. Next time try cookies? scones? candies? Surely some dessert will work out one of these days.
disclaimer: Allie read and approved this blog.
