How to eat a muffin (2)

Jan 11, 2008

Some Fridays, I treat myself to a coffee cake muffin from Dunkin Donuts. I haven't been around all that long, but I don't think there's anything better than treating yourself to something you probably shouldn't have and likely don't need. If my life ended in the midst of it, it would be worth it.

Like many foods, muffins have a good part and a bad part. The good part of my coffee cake muffin is obviously the top, which is covered in crunchies. The bad part is the rest of the muffin, which as far as I'm concerned, is just filler that enables Dunkin Donuts to charge anything more than $0.25.

The dilemma I always face is whether to dive right into the good part and suffer with the bad part later, or eat the bad part first while anxiously anticipating the good part. Some days I have a few ounces of patience, so I'll stuff the filler into the mouth and chew it in an almost obligatory fashion. Today wasn't one of those days. I dove right into the good part and loved every second of it. #food

	But today...didn't you feel that same sense of obligation after eating the best part? I couldn't do it. For me, you have to break it in half and eat the bottom first. Meanwhile the anticipation and excitement will build, knowing that the best part is yet to come. I have to say though, this is a great post. It's up there with your post about the Pet Butler. Most bloggers will beat around the bush and talk about superfluous stuff and not ask the tough questions. Not you. You dive right into the good stuff....sort of like this morning's crunchies.

	Yeah there was the obligatory bottom part, but I gained the perfect amount of motivation by eating the crunchies. Some days, it evens out. You're right. I'm a really smart and amazing person. Instead of keeping these thoughts in my head, I share them with the world.
