Flames, anyone? > >Bill Well, at least she *does* usually come back for the other half. I'd say I have more problems with men...I mean, you think it's bad with cookies or small pastries...but I bake a three-layer cake, leave the room, and when I come back, my brother has eaten half of it! Now, there's a havling problem for you. Actually, I can think of two causes for you: 1) The woman is just not hungry enough to eat a whole whatever. Later, after some time has passed, she is now hungry enough to eat the rest. 2) The person is on a diet, and this is a good way to reassure herself..."well, I'm only eating *half* of it." Now, that's something I object to: diets. I could not live without ice cream. Muffy
