Morphing Into a Food Blog?

For months I have been eyeing the HUGE chocolate layer cakes at Costco. So big, so dark, and presumably so delicious. A great tempation for sure, but on my best rationalizing day there was no way I could justify buying myself one. Still, the large cake loomed large in my imagination.

Yesterday, to my delight, the Costco bakery was serving up samples of my fantasy cake. I helped myself to a little chunk nestled in a fluted paper nut cup. And. the cake was good; it almost lived up to my fantasy. I told the employee who was passing out cake samples that I would like to buy one, but since I live alone, buying one was out of the question. She remarked that I could slice the cake and freeze the slices, permitting me to eat the cake over a period of time. I told her that the problem with that is that I (one person) would still be eating the entire giagantic cake. She appeared shocked at that thought and exclaimed, "No you wouldn't!", still thinking that I was talking about eating it in one setting. I somehow couldn't make her understand the point--whether I portioned it out in a reasonable manner or sucked it down in a carb craving craze--either way, I would be eating the entire gigantic cake.

Actually, the sample was enough to satisfy my cake fantasy. For now.
