You know when I started eating bites, I initially thought I will eat just 4-5 bites. But then, with every new bite, I told to myself, “I’ll only eat one more cracker.” And after that! Well, OK, maybe just one more. Or two, or three, or four….
The rest is kept in the refrigerator without crackers, to be eaten later.
