How to impress art students

[madbaker]

Easy - bring food!

My wife has an 8 AM class on Thursdays, and the instructor decreed that the students should take turns bringing breakfast. Yesterday was the first day, and my wife volunteered. (She asked me first, so it was okay.)

I made a yogurt coffeecake, with dried blueberries, and a brown sugar / walnut crumb on top. Any of you who have hosted me overnight and I made breakfast, you've probably had it.

It was a hit. It was all eaten. Several of her classmates complained that they don't know how to bake, that this raised the bar unfairly (heh), etc. My favorite exchange with one of her female classmates:

"Did you make this?" "No, my husband did."
"I need to get married."

OK, that's sorta fair...

I was about to write, "That's not fair! I was married and my husband was a lousy cook!"

However, the subsequent sweetheart is a much better cook. Guess I can't complain too much now. :)

heh. That's just too funny. :-) But yeah, it is kinda unfair, though. I mean, my idea of bringing in breakfast involves stopping at a donut shop.

Showoff :)
Maybe you should be a chef instead of a mutual funds guy (or whatever the heck you do ;-) *That'd* show the PHB....

There's things you do for love, and things you do for money. Often it's a bad idea to get them mixed up. Lucky are those who manage it anyway!

I was just thinking about this the other day. I miss SCA'ing. I have had this happen to me. I start the bring the food for lunch on Tuesdays and mine is the last one because everyone else feels that they need to one up me. Good luck on your next turn, may it be a long time from now.
