We have a low counter that I sit at to do prep work (bad arthritic knees). Last night, I had grated the parm, then had gotten up to wash dishes and do a little clean-up while the pasta finished cooking. Turned back around and realized I had forgotten to move the chair back because Strider, my little black pug, was busily eating the parm as quickly as he could. He got about a 1/3 to a 1/2 cup.
