Quote of the day


So we were eating dinner tonight, and I was talking about my neurotic issues with my food touching, or how I don't "dip" things (chips, bread etc.) and my grandma says. . . 

"You know Uncle Dennis (that is my great uncle) used to take all his food, mix it all up in a bowl and eat it, and sometimes it was too hot so he poured milk over it."

Ahhhhhhh. I used to think that maybe Uncle Dennis and I were kindred spirits with our neuroticness . 

Apparently not. 

EDIT: I guess this was not done in a bowl. . . but his dinner plate. At the dinner table.

So no chips and salsa? guacamole? How about strawberries into chocolate fondue? What about pre-dipped items like chocolate covered (dipped) frozen bananas? Or caramel coated apples?

I find this fascinating...especially your uncle. I really think he was on to something...just imagine the efficiency that brought to meal time. I may give that a try someday!

No chips and salsa, sometimes guac. . . dessert dips I'm fine with.

No bread with spreads, no sauce on fish. . . etc. . .
