Sounds like my family. I made up a nice plate of supper last evening and
it turned out that my eyes were bigger than my stomach ... so, having 3
pooches we're keeping for Dennis' youngest kid, I shared the leftovers
with Jasper, an accomplished mooch.

Dennis asked me, "Why are you giving that to the dog?"

"He can't cook it himself." was my reply.   Bv)=

           Toaster
           Plate
           Butter knife
 
  Tear raisins into variously sized scab like pieces and
  set aside.

  Carefully place hot toast on a plate.
  
  Spread each slice of toast first with butter and then
  with jam. Artfully arrange scabs on jam and eat.
  
  Serves 1 wounded worshiper.
  
  Sicko serving suggestion: Surreptitously place a raisin
  scab on the gauze part of a sterile, non-medicated,
  bandage and apply it to the clean, dry appendage of your
  choice. Then tell your intended victim that you're so
  hungry you could eat a scab.
  
  Whip off your bandage and chow down.
