So- I had me an idea on how to end the discussion forever and ever amen. I have a nice stainless steel fridge.. and I had a dry erase marker. So I put this list up on the fridge of things I could conceivably cook with the contents therein.
Rick, walking up and observing as I was not even halfway done with the list, points at tacos.
Me, smacks his hand- NO! I’m not done with the list yet! Wait until the whole list is up there, dammit!
Rick- Did you see if it washes off?
Me, momentarily stricken- Uh no. But it’s fine, this is just what you’re having for dinner forever, that’s all.
We both busted out laughing. I finished the list, then made sure it would wipe off and sighed with relief when it did.
Me- So there. We never have to have that conversation again, I’ll just update the list when shopping happens and WE’RE DONE. NO MORE. THOSE ARE THE OPTIONS!!!
I put the pen on the counter with a thud of finality and headed back down the hall to the office, visions of angry monkey pointing at the list whenever Rick inevitably stood in the kitchen to ask what’s for food dancing in my head. Angrily.
Rick, still staring at the list and pointing at tacos- Well, not quite.
Me- What do you mean?! The whole list, its RIGHT THERE.
Rick- Yeah, until you don’t feel like cooking.
Me- when I get better pens, we’ll talk about that! For now, that’s your list!!!
The better pens are on order from Amazon.
