We repeatedly ate at a wonderful buffet that had Italian, Chinese, Southern Cooking, Hickory Grill, Desserts and Bread spread across a huge area within the casino.
The last day, as usual, we ate too much. One caramel apple stood, untouched and cried out not to be wasted...ahhh, the taste wanted to be enjoyed but the stomach of all said no. We asked about carry out and it was against the rules.
Then the deception came in play, I am ashamed. We searched for something that would not stick to the caramel. This apple was drenched in caramel, drizzled in chocolate, dipped in peanut chips and draped with white chocolate...who could leave that for the garbage??
Toni, the ever inventive, found some paper begged from another food source that protested all the time. Toni won and brought two waxed papers, slipped them to me, as we looked for security guards. I wrapped the apple and looked up to see two guards watching, what is this???
I guess they decided it wasn't worth the hassle for one apple, because they whispered to each other as I escaped, happily, with the apple.
Protected said apple and the rest of the crew departed for home.
Note the watcher on the bridge.Arkansas border what did we see???? I knew they had put out an all points bulletin for me and the stolen apple. Grand Theft Apple...Would I go down without a fight? Should I out run them? Should I surrender? Eat the evidence and swallow the stick?
We quickly pulled into a road side park to evade the police.
Not one of our best ideas.
We hit the road, in hopes of loosing them.
They could not find the apple thief, although they were pulling over everyone. it seemed.
Said apple made it home safely and was enjoyed by the stay at home man. I still feel guilty but did enjoy the chase.
