Kind of Like Hansel and Gretel but No One Gets Eaten

My friend and coworker Andrea is pretty much one of my favorite people that has ever existed. She is the only person I know that can discuss the intricate relationship dilemmas on the Real Housewives of New Jersey/Atlanta and the best way to cook squirrel as demonstrated on Duck Dynasty. She likes all the crappy music I like and when we take over the jukebox at Urban for hours at a time we are the only 2 dancing.

Also she dressed up as Cher for Halloween this past year so she got bonus friend points.


She ran around the bar lip syncing "Turn Back Time" all night long. It was fucking amazing.

However, Andrea does this one thing that seems sweet, but is really a trick.

You see whenever Andrea decides she has been eating too much bar food and goes on a diet, she always brings me presents. And by presents I mean super delicious amazing fatty food. What makes it worse is that because she knows me so well she knows the foods I can't resist. Monday she brought me a bacon caramel and a bacon chocolate chip cookie. She says she gives me these presents to be nice, but I know it is because she is trying to fatten the rest of us up to make her look even thinner in comparison. Which is ridiculous because she is already thin and gorgeous. Don't get me wrong I enjoy delicious treats, I just am always amused when she does this.


See! She doesn't even need to be on a diet.

Do your friends do anything sneaky like this?

  1. Wait. . .wha-WHAT!?!? Bacon chocolate chip cookie!?!? Umm, next time Andrea wants to "sabotage" you, please feel free to send those bad boys to Portland. I'm happy to take one for the team.

    PS: Can't wait to see you at BlogHer!

    1. We worship Bacon in the south and put it in everything. Seriously we have bacon mochas, brownies, candied bacon, etc. We also have Bacon fest every fall.

  3. I'm guilty also: I'm the one that brings in treats. No to fatten people up though. I like to bake, but don't like eating baked goods. Therefore, I spoil my officemates.

  5. I'm guilty...it's just easier to try to fatten my friends up than lose weight myself ;).

  9. She is absolutely gorgeous, but if she brought me cookies, I'd know it's because she hates me. I am allergic.

    1. You're allergic to cookies? That is unfortunate.

  10. She certainly does NOT need to be on a diet. But she's very savvy. I mean, who could resist bacon paired with anything sweet? :D

    Once upon a time I was a weight loss counselor and what you described was one of the biggest pet peeves of dieters: skinny friends (or spouses) that would forever sabotage their diets.

    Great post!

  12. I have the same love for my best friend too. She's the only person who can talk any season of Real Housewives. That's serious business!
