Cheesecake Thief...

    My sister and I have been living together since October, and it has been great. Since we live together we obviously do more stuff together like grocery shop. Growing up our parents never kept junk food in the house, only on special occasions would we have chips or soda. That has more or less carried into how my sister and I live now. We will occasionally have chips for salsa or hummus. However for a few months now my sister has been on a real health kick, which that is great, but I'm kind of tired of the steamed veggies and eating like rabbits. We go grocery shopping and our cart will be full, but I will still feel like we haven't gotten anything to eat because it is full of side dishes, "Carrots, apples and crackers aren't a real meal!" My cries go unheard! 
    Last week was my sister's boyfriend's birthday! We are big on birthdays, so it was a time to celebrate! My sister bought cheesecake for the special occasion! The three of us all celebrated and enjoyed a piece, and then the rest of the cheesecake was put in the fridge to be enjoyed later...or so we thought! Her boyfriend went back to college and we continued our week as usual. 
    Wednesday I was at home all day, except for an hour around noon. That evening my sister and I were talking and I jogged her memory about the cheesecake. She ran into the kitchen eager to get a piece, but then announces that it is not in the fridge. She isn't always the best looker, so I went in there to get it for her, but it was gone! She questions me, and I tell her that I didn't eat it, ironically I had been doing a cleanse that day so I had just been drinking water and eating fruit. I had told her earlier everything I had eaten that day too (such a girl thing to do haha) but I was in the clear. 
    We looked in the back fridge and in the little fridge upstairs, but it was nowhere. By this time my sister is in hysterics because the cheesecake is missing and she had her heart set on having a piece! She was yelling and stomping around. She had had a long week, so the cheesecake was kind of a highlight, she really doesn't usually get that emotional about food...actually, I take that back. She has been known to get worked up about food. When she has her heart set on something and then it gets taken away, she will get really offended and can't comprehend why somebody would do that to her. Like if she picked out the most frosted wheatie and was saving it to eat last, and then "somebody" picked it up and ate it! You would think somebody just slapped her across the face, or that you were about to get slapped across the face! All hypothetical of course...though I can think of a half a dozen other instances that this has happened with various foods! 
    So considering the knowledge of how my sister reacts when food it taken from her, I was determined to help her discover what happened to the cheesecake! Plus I always love a mystery. We came up with two options, my parents stopped by and took it in the hour that I was gone, or somebody walked in our house and stole it! The next day we questioned our parents, but they had no knowledge of the cheesecake and were confused as to why we thought they would come and take it. That left one option! SOMEBODY STOLE IT! It was the only logical answer. We went back over all the details, "I didn't eat it, our parents didn't take it, her bf wasn't seen leaving with it, and she had a piece the night before it turned up missing." It only made since that somebody came into our house and took it! 
   Being the detective that I am, I posted all the events on my facebook, maybe somebody would know something, or just feel sorry for us because of the heinous crime that was done to us! One of my friends did say she took it, but I knew she was innocent, but I did tell her I needed her law enforcement friends to come out and take finger prints! As the suspense kept building about who came into our house and stole the cheesecake, the truth was finally revealed! 
   As it turns out my sister had told her boyfriend to take the cheesecake or the next time he came there wouldn't be any left! But instead of taking it he decided to hide it from us in the veggie draw in the back fridge! It was the perfect place because we never put our veggies in the back fridge so we would never look there! Needless to say we were relieved that somebody didn't actually break in and steal our cheesecake, but that it was actually just hidden from us. WHO KNEW! 
   The moral of this story is don't live on veggies!

  1. I literally laughed out loud at the conclusion of this story! I can just picture you guys in all of this. Points to Israel for keeping the sugar from the Raboin girls. That is no easy task!
