Lesson 2. Sharing a dish is wise, but there’s no such thing as sharing a dessert with Daughter
Taking a lesson from some friends of ours we decided to share an entree at Uno’s on Sunday. This would help with controlling how much we eat since restaurants have portion sizes WAY off the mark and should cut the cost of a meal almost in half. Well feasibly anyway. So we ordered a Stuffed Chicken breast, some brown rice with Craisens and Mango, and some roasted summer vegetables. It was great stuff. For some reason though I have had a craving for chocolate. Normally I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but as of late it’s been going nuts.
Then I spot the ‘Chocolate Wow’ . . . it’s like a half baked brownie with chocolate crunchies covered with molten hot fudge and a scoop of ice cream. Well we had shared everything else and it’s rare that we order dessert so why not. Kat, our server, brought it out to us with 3 spoons. Wife and Daughter dove in. Funny Daughter is somewhat interested in eating lunch, but all about eating dessert. Daughter was sitting on my side of the booth and was leaned over in front of me effectively blocking me from chocolate goodness. Wife kept encouraging Daughter to sit down and every now and then she would and I’d steal a bite. By the time Daughter was done the Ice Cream was gone and I was left with the scrapings on the bottom.
I just laughed inside. I love my daughter so much, Wife even more . . . I should have known to never try and come between women and chocolate!
