Thanksgiving Dessert From The Office: Unnecessary Pie Cutting And I Hate Strawberries

     Unlike in past years when a certain unnamed company prevented this then-temp worker from attending the Christmas party, yours truly enjoyed a feast of a holiday luncheon at the office.

     Fun fact: there were actually 3 pies available but when I'm not hiding behind a keyboard I have to downplay my blogger lifestyle.  The guy in front of me cut 1 of each in half.  I expected him to take a half of each pie.  No.  He took the apple pie and left.  I was dumbfounded.  Who randomly cuts pies in half?  What happened during your childhood that would do such a thing?  Literally mind bottling.
     So I ate half a pumpkin pie.  It was pretty good, but the crust was overpowering.  I think there is a minimum amount of crust needed for a pie to hold together, and the larger the pie gets, the larger the pumpkin to crust ratio increases.  6/10.
     The brownie was a different story.  Moist, rich, big.  All of these are adjectives you want to use to describe a brownie.  That dollop of cream was a nice touch too.  The caterers obviously want people to know their baking skills at least well above average.  8/10.

     One lady I've never seen before came by my desk and made me take this chocolate-covered strawberry.  Let's get one thing clear: I hate strawberries.  It's not even an irrational hatred like Motley Crue.  Their consistency is unnatural and they taste bad.  But I'm a blogger so being unbiased in is my blood.  That being said, 0/10.  The chocolate was laid on very thick but strawberries still suck.
