Gouda and Pear Crostini Recipe

These Gouda and Pear Crostini are for when you’re feeling, living, and looking like a snack. And that last sentence can be an “or” condition if you want. You don’t have to be feeling and living and looking all at once. Just one of them. And if you’re none of them, we don’t believe you. In fact, Schrödinger’s Snack asserts that you are always in all states of snack at once. It isn’t until you observe yourself that you’re actually existing in a specific state of snack. Schrödinger created this thought experiment to show the absurdity of the superposition of snack states relying on the observer. But what if it’s true? In every moment, you’re simultaneously feeling, living, and looking like a snack. Even if this isn’t true, Sarah and Zach are always in all states of snack anyway. And no matter how far apart we are—millions and millions of lightyears—we will always be in the same state of snack as each other. Einstein called this “spooky action at a distance”. Today’s quantum physics calls this “entanglement”. Jada calls this “cheating on Will”. So every time you eat a Gouda and Pear Crostini, you are snacking on eternity.
