Today, a few hours after an unsatisfying lunch at around 3 o’clock, I left the office for a nearby convenience store, to pick up a snack for me and one for Eiko.
I ate my entire snack before arriving back at the office. Upon my return, I immediately went to the kitchen and threw away my plastic wrappers, then returned to the work room to give Eiko a carmelized custard.
So then how, with no clues from me visual or otherwise, did she, on our way home, correctly guess that among the hundreds of edible choices available at the convenience store, I ate one onigiri and one cream puff?
I have no regular pattern of buying choux cremes or onigiri from the convenience store, and in fact buy nothing but chocolate 80% of the time.
It’s the lovewavelength.
3 highly possible reasons:
1. you still stank of nigiri and creme when you kissed her on the way back home.
2. unlike you, she takes out the office trash from time to time, and your loot was still on top.
3. specks of nori and drops of creme on your beard?
;-)
Here’s what we figured out:
1. She noticed that I was done eating by the time I got back, and figured that onigiri is one of the few convenience-store foods that allows this.
2. I always have something sweet after something savory.
3. When I buy chocolate, there is usually some left over, but in this case I brought nothing back, eliminating that possibility.
4. Cream puffs are next to the caramelized custards in the refrigerator case at the store.
Although I like AG’s explanation better ;)
