Knife

[woodwardiocom]

This morning, I'm slicing up the last of the (delicious) loaf of bread tamidon gave us. buxom_bey approaches.

Bey: The last of the bread . . .

Jon: Yeah, it was good. We should remember to thank T.

Bey: Wish I'd had some.

Jon: You didn't have any?

Bey: I had two slices.

Jon: I've only been eating two slices a day.

Bey (accusingly): Yeah, every day.

Jon: . . . Who's holding the knife?

Bey: You are.

Jon: That's right.

It's always seemed wise, to me, to know where the sharp objects in any given location are, and to use that knowledge as a threat if necessary.

Doesn't work so well with someone you live with, though...she'll remember this on some cold night far in the future as she puts her freezing feet on you to keep warm.

Or, y'know...simply not share the next tasty thing a friend gives you. Also good revenge.

That must have been some really good bread!

that recipe is coming along nicely. I lust for a real Hobart so I can mke more than 2 loaves at once

Remind me to share the recipe for levain sometime, if you don't already know it.

It's nice to be able to make bread from wild yeast every so often.

I know how that bread-lust can be. Hard to quell.

I'm with you, Jon. If you were only having two slices a day, then she had ample time over the last few days to jump in there and eat it. Also, I have had bread so delicious that I'd wield a knife over it.

Am I the only one who thought that Jon wasn't threatening with the knife so much as adeptly pointing out that if one wants the tasty bread, all one has to do is pick up the knife and slice it?

No, I was pointing out that the person not holding the knife does not get to make unjust accusations to the person holding the knife.

(Since I don't think you've seen our marriage in action, be assured that it was all in fun.)

Successful Marriage Lesson from your Brother: NEVER eat/drink the last of ANYTHING! ALWAYS leave the last slice/cookie/drink/ice cream sandwich behind.

Does she follow the same rule?
