Come celebrate the future Mr. and Mrs. Gordon!

It was about a month into dating. Ben, a snowboarder, wanted to share his love of the sport with Kirsten. However, Kirsten, a dirty skier had her own devious plans for turning Ben to the dark side. After much deliberation back and fourth. An accord was struck to put an end to the madness once and for all. A competition that would determine the fate of the couples winter recreation for the coming weekend. A battle of wits, skill, and breakfast. A pancake cook off! The loser was to take up the winners sport for the weekend. Would Kirsten discover the euphoria and glory of snowboarding? Or would Ben tear his ACL trying to learn the forbidden unconnected leg shuffle? The night of the competition, Ben and Kirsten stood before a panel of respected judges and food critics (Ben's roommates). The cook-off was fierce, sweat dripped from the brows of the pair as they went to battle in the culinary theatre (Ben's Kitchen). The determination in Kirsten's eyes frightened the judges as she worked to perfect a 3 generation family pancake recipe originating from her grandfather. Ben looked calm and relaxed as he went to the pantry and proudly lifted a bag of Krusteez pre made pancake mix toward the heavens. To this day I still believe I saw the bag light up with a golden glow for just a moment. As the competition came to a close the judges were each presented with two pancakes. The judges decision was swift and decisive. Bens hand was raised in glorious unanimous victory, And Kirsten was shown the one true winter art of snowboarding. Kirsten made it through her day of snow boarding having completed two runs in 6 hours and falling almost exclusively on her face. But never the less changed forever. Morals of this story: 1. Never mess with Krusteez. 2. Snowboarding is not Kirsten's thing. 3. Bribing Pancake judges totally works. P.S. Kirsten didn't know I bribed the Judges until I wrote this hahaha.
