white dinner

 I made an all-white dinner the other day.  Nobody thought it was as clever as I did.

It was baked chicken breast over sauteed cauliflower, white rice, and green bean casserole (in white sauce). We had cheesecake for dessert.

a can of poop

 A few weeks ago my mother-in-law came home from California with some 'sweet grapefruit' she purchased at a market. I did not volunteer to eat it, but of course, my child did.  This is clearly a child who has never tasted grapefruit.  She took one bite and said, 'no thanks.'

I can't blame her for trying new things- so I thought I'd give it a try too.  To my surprise, it really was a sweet grapefruit.  It was not terrible and I *might* even be convinced to try it again.

I was wondering the other day if I could find those sweet grapefruit in my local grocery when I spotted a CAN of grapefruit.  I've never seen canned grapefruit before, so I got it. (We all know where my child gets it from.)

While unpacking the groceries my husband says, "Why did you get this?!" (canned grapefruit)  

I said, "Well, I never saw it before, so I wanted to try it.  It might be good, you never know."

He said, "Sometimes you know-   like you wouldn't try a can of poop."

I said, "Umm- I've never seen a can of poop- so I can't say."

I tried the canned grapefruit today.

I took the first bite and thought, 'this is terrible, but I think I can eat half now and half later.'

I took three more bites before I concluded, 'I cannot.  No, no .... no, no, no.  Noooo, nope.'

In other news, did you know unwanted canned grapefruit can be an effective garbage disposal deodorizer?

I'm sort of a DIYer.   😝
