I never thought I would ever thank four ‘apple lattices’ for such fun morning, but here I am, typing away about how this four scrumptious (big word for today people!) miracles of the bakery-world have made my morning more fun than I thought it would be.
First, on my way to work today, I stopped in a supermarket (because I feel that this blog should not sponsor or back any specific brand we will not specify which supermarket it was… even if I think that ASDA rocks and M&S is overpriced) to get the aforementioned (I know, second big word of the day… I’m on a roll!) pastries and while in the queue, waiting to pay them, I saw a man paying his newspaper, which costs £0.29 (that’s €0.36 for you European readers, $0.57 for the Americans or 8.30 Dobras for my São Tome and Principe friends… now where is that country!?), by VISA! The man paid £0.29 with his VISA!! And the behind the counter woman’s face was priceless (Don’t they say, for everything else, there’s Mastercard?).
Second, my on-going battle with my diet-enduring work colleague had a full-on word-fight. Or more of a rant on his part. So I already knew that after the chocolate cookies comment he thought I was evil. And I also knew (As I said in my previous post) that I was going to get ‘apple lattices’ to see his reaction… which went like this:
I extract the apple lattices / He looks.
I open the box (in a very over-the-top look-what-I’m-eating manner) / He sighs and rolls eyes.
I munch away / He starts to get angry.
I finish one / He relaxes.
I make a ‘yummy!’ sound / He looks at me with disdain.
I take another ‘apple lattice’ and bite it / He turns into the Hulk.
I smile / He says: You will get fat one day you know?
I say: Oh, sorry. You want one? / He mentally crashes his laptop into my head.
I mega-smile with puppy eyes and all / He says: You are the Epitome of Evil!
And then he starts ranting about how Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, etc weren’t as evil as I am, but I’m not listening anymore because all I can think is: Epito-whato?
Life, sometimes, is indeed beautiful.
Life is always beautiful
I’m easily amused, no questions asked, but I don’t tend to laugh out loud all that much. The argentinian comedians “Les Luthiers” can easily get me going for hours, but that’s them. But this post had me crying of laughter!! You should be extremely pleased with yourself. Next drink is on me
Hmmm… A picture of an Apple Lattice would be nice
I want to see what you torture your work colleagues with!
I thought that too, a picture would be excellent… it’s just that by the time I get home from work all Apple Lattices have misteriously dissapeared… in my tummy… will try and fight temptation and take a pic of one…

Indeed! That’s the evil lattice gourmet!
Thanks ZoltarStark! Now I’m hungry….
