FLFT!

I am a FLFT! (pronounced flif-fit)(said really fast) :)
It is an acronym created for and by me. It implies a "Finger Licker Food Toucher!"
The origin of the acronym is in the aftermath of a trip to a coffee-shop after dinner for dessert with some friends of mine. Among the friends was a lot of Czech "goodness", and an unsuspecting law student.

Now, I am impartial to dessert. I enjoy salty foods and can never grasp the idea of sweet stuff (I am missing a sweet tooth...hmmm... Oh well I am sweet enough as it is .... :P) for breakfast especially. You wake up... you are hungry... you need real food... filling food... of the salty kind... you know... forget the pancakes and tarts... have omelettes and potatoes and meat! But I wander off the actual topic! (I am an ENFP!) (I shall explain about that one another time too)(Focus Shahnaz!)

Anyway... what was I saying? Oh yes... FLFT. And the origin of it. So Myself, Czech Goodness and Law student go to a bar, er... coffee-shop! (I've been listening to too many "a priest, a Rabbi and a monk enter a bar jokes!) Moving on- We go to this coffee-shop after dinner, before the ball, for dessert. The other two order coffee and dessert, I BTW order milk (again... another story :S). So we order and sit down. Now Check Goodness gets the brownie and Law Student- he gets the molten lava cake. I sit by and purr and sip on my milk.

In time, I lean over and (very unconsciously) scoop off a little icing off Czech Goodness's brownie and proceed to lick it off my finger. It tastes great and I proceed to do it again. Czech Goodness's eyes by this time are getting extremely large and she is getting quite miffed. Being polite she holds her tongue. I next proceed to lick off the second scoop off my finger as well and attack Law Student's cake. That lava cake was good! He gets a little startled (or so I was told). I meanwhile am completely oblivious to the general angst surrounding me at this table, and shamelessly continue with this behavior.

At some point, Czech Goodness could take it no longer and sputters out something along the lines of "Will you desist in licking your fingers! And my food! In that order!!"- in as polite a Czech Goodness way as she can. Law student (a placater) sits silent and uncomfortable. I believe I giggled at this point. Even more miffed Czech Goodness proceeds to give me a play by play of my Finger-Licking-Food-Touching behavior.

I am deeply surprised! I wasn't even aware of it. Hmmm. Yup. I am a FLFT. Not only that- yesterday Czech Goodness informed me that I also never ask to try some one's food. She was having biscotti. I said, "I want some of that" and proceeded to break off a piece. I liked it. I said, "I want some more of that!" Repeat!
Yup!

LOL...

At dinner one night, I informed my date, "If I like your food more than mine... I am most definitely going to take yours." It was a statement. I figured if I give fair warning, they know what they're getting into with me. Needless to say I did eat theirs.

The funny thing is, it works for me. Czech Goodness totally loves me! Even though she sputters! (You know you do!) And "date" actually asked me out again! Hmmm.

I am a FLFT.
