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*
