We had a family reunion here yesterday, which was an experience in itself, but oh, the left-overs!
We actually almost had an argument about what to do with the mess left behind, so I ended up just washing dishes and letting Mr. W do the "putting away" of food.
I guess that's why he ended up this afternoon reminding me that tomorrow was garbage day.
Know what he said to me?
"If you don't end up eating the stuff in the tin foil, the ziti crap, the stuff on the stove, and the apple crisp and the dip and stuff---then put it in the garbage."
Huh?
There are 4 hamburgers, 7 hot dogs, toasted buns, half a bowl of apple crisp, a large bowl of dip, two platters of cellery, baby carrots, pepperoni, cheese, and all that kind of junk...... not to mention the peanut butter brownies and the potato salad....
I am not even hungry now after hearing it spelled out.
No way am I going to be the human garbage disposal, just to avoid wasting food.
Well, maybe I can handle one cheeseburger. but I'll lie about it, because I really had it without the bun with a micro potato.
When he said this, I was on my way outside with a cig in hand and I held the door open and the first words that came out of my mouth were, " Screw you." No exclamation point.
And then he laughed out loud, which made me happy.
I knew he was joking then!
He knew I couldn't "clean out the fridge" with a vengence, and that garbage day was tomorrow.
I might wish I had it back later, but I can't eat it all tonight!
Even if I do hate wasting food.....
And tomorrow night I might wish I had that burger and potato salad back......
