Spoon-Surfing

Living alone has benefits.  Here's one: eating out of any food container you have in the fridge or cabinet. It's not a problem right?  The great thing is that there's nobody sitting at the table or across the room blurting out "Ewww, did you just eat straight out of that...? Sick."  A one-person fridge is great because you are your only Food Police! I try to keep my fridge very clean (beside the random bag of lettuce or vegetables I let go too long) so I don't think an audit will be necessary. I don't like sticky jam jars or drippy ketchup bottles & get so mad if I haven't resealed the shredded cheese.  Some of you laugh because resealing cheese is the last thing on your mind & 'veggies-gone-bad' is your fridges middle name. I'm not meddling in your business.  Grow as much mold as you want. That's you...!  You probably make your bed every day & have that after-shower spray stuff.

I digress. Back to spoon-surfing.

Last week I had friends over. I offered ice cream but as soon as the words came out of my mouth I thought: OH NO...do you have ANY icecream cartons you haven't eaten out of??? I love icecream. Anytime - day or night, icecream's my fav. That stuff is good with anything & for every occasion. If I keep it in the house, I try to dip my spoon in only ONE of the containers so I don't have this problem but I guess the force was too strong because there wasn't a carton in my freezer without 'me' germs on it.  They kindly declined & I inwardly sighed with relief & scooped me a big BOWL after they left.  I think I've learned.  Keep to that ONE container rule. Don't offer if you don't have two!
