Payback is SWEET!


I'm pretty sure K took a nasty bump to the head.  While I didn't actually see the incident, the evidence is overwhelming, Exhibit A being that she has begun to throw away perfectly good food.

Yesterday at 11:30 I was scheduled to be part of a focus group.  Knowing this would interfere with my customary mid-day solid fuel replenishment, I had made a mental note to finish off my last few pieces of jalapeno and cheese summer sausage specially made for me by my friend David @ David's Meats.  

This stuff is awesome!  Just enough jalapeno to light you up, yet stop short of spontaneous combustion.  So before I left I opened the refrig looking for my butcher-paper-wrapped carnivore's delight....and it was GONE!  Poof!  Vanished!

As I was digging furiously through the refrigerator hoping that it had just somehow been misplaced, K asked me, "Whatcha lookin' for?"

"My jalapeno and cheese summer sausage.  I was gonna eat a few slices now to tide me over until after my focus group convenes."

"Oh....that.  Yeah, I threw it out."

"YOU WHAT?"

"I threw it out.  It had turned green."

*as I bit a chunk out of my tongue*  "Umm, sweetheart....I'd been saving that for my quickie lunch today.  And besides, it hadn't 'turned green'.  That green stuff you saw was jalapeno.  It's supposed to be there."

Later in the day K added insult to injury:  "OK, I have to confess....I didn't actually see green stuff growing on your summer sausage.  I just assumed that since it had been in the refrig more than a couple of days it had turned green.  Sorry."

"Assumed?  You just assumed....?"

"I just said I saw it there because I thought you'd yell less if you thought it had actually gone bad."




I'm thinkin' she owes me.  BIG time!  Wonder where you can rent a French maid's outfit for an evening.  *wink*
