Carol in Cal. Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Those who mix the meat and gravy with the rice when putting away leftovers, let them be anathema. Those who leave the milk out and THEN put it away, so that it spoils early OR is not cold when you pour it with dessert, let them be anathema. Those who cut themselves a piece of cheese, and then walk away, leaving the cheese and knife out, and the cutting board unwiped, let them be anathema. Not a big fan of squeezing all the juices out of hamburgers by pressing them down during cooking either. And what is up with using the same bloody (in the literal, not the British sense of the word) utensils and plates to prepare raw meat for cooking as to bring it to the table? Uh, no. Anathema, also. Perhaps I am just a wee bit cranky at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't be too hard on those people. Being able to put a new roll of tp on the holder is a superpower. Very few people are blessed with this phenomenal skill. Really. After doing a casual survey of my friends we discovered that in our families it was only the mom who had this unique and wonderful gift. DD claims to have inherited this gift but I have yet to see proof of this. I suspect that the gift may lay dormant for years. More than likely she won't truly realize this superpower until she is married with children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWOB Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Oh Carol, you know I love you, but, as a good Cajun gal, I always mix rice and gravy. They just go together, like Sonny and Cher. This is known. I think it is in the Bible somewhere. Thou shalt always mix rice and gravy, for to do not is to anger The Lord. I'm with you on everything else. I will add one more. Thou shalt squeeze the toothpaste tube from the bottom only. If thou squeezeth the tube from the middle, thou doeth so on penalty of death and dismemberment.

My favorite is when something obvious is left on the counter after unloading the dishwasher that only I know it's super secret hiding place.

Now let us know if you were ever bit by a radioactive spider or went weeks without a full night of sleep. I can claim knowledge of recyclables and ability to change to rolls. The ability of find shoes with my eyes closed is unknown because I've never bothered to try. I think I have solved the missing shoe dilemma in our house. But I am aware it exists, because while growing up my little brother was an expert in losing shoes. And it was always just one shoe; he was kind enough to leave the other one out so we'd notice it's partner was missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband and mother both put them in wildly un-stacked piles that take up three times the space. My mother thinks I am way too fussy about stuff. I grew up having french toast taste like dill from the pan and pancake turner. :ack2: One of the happiest moments in my life was when I discovered that everyone in my husband's family (mother and sisters in law) thinks like me on a number of key issues.

Parrothead Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) I think the 11th commandment says something about not getting jelly into the peanut butter or peanut butter into the jelly. Use a separate knife for each. Truly mom would rather wash two knives than have to chase jelly from her peanut butter.;) ETA: The same goes for the mayo jar. Thou must useth two spoons. One to stir ones concoction and the other to add more mayo when needed. So essentially He who contaminates the condiments - anathema.
