We food people are about food…how many innocent family members have had things supposedly brought/purchased/baked for them that they never even set eyes on? One of my clients used to go to seminars at her college regularly that served these great cookies as an afternoon snack. You know the kind – about 5 inches around, filled with nuts and chips and squishable. She would always stay till the end of the meeting to help clean up and just hated to see the food go to waste, so she would pack up a bag of these cookies for her kids. Her kids would have no idea she was at a conference and so they were not home waiting with baited breath for these cookies – which was a good thing because I don’t think they ever made it home. Eventually she figured out that it just didn’t work for her to stay till the end and help clean up. How many times have you brought something for someone else and ended up eating it yourself?
