“I
can’t believe it”, reported receptionist Carole Grossman, who was up at 5 am making
from scratch and baking a chocolate and pecan chess pie. “She just stands there hovering over it, like
it’s a just hatched eaglet or something until someone has some”.
“And she gets really moody if you don’t tell
her it’s like the greatest you ever had”, added admin assistant Valerie
Rush. “I mean, she got it at Super Fresh”.
“Look,
she didn’t even take the price tag off this year.”
Flanked
by a box of multi-grain crackers and a bag of corn tortilla chips, the sad,
afterthought of a dish appeared almost flippant among an array of delicacies
including green bean casserole with brie and almonds, cheddar and bacon potato
salad, and deviled eggs with paprika and garlic.
“I
agonized for weeks on what to make, before deciding on the sausage balls with
onion and Worchester sauce”, lamented account manager Heather Crittenden, “then
Little Miss Size Six prances in here like royalty with something she scooped up
from a grocery store deli on her way in this morning.”
At
press time, senior partner Harv Wainwright, married with four children and
twelve years Baskins’ senior was complimenting her on her “thoughtful, heart-friendly”
selection.
