The boys apparently survived their weekend together, without me.

Someone asked me if I missed the baby.  "What baby?"  I replied.  No, I really did miss both my boys for our 48-hour separation.  The Boo and I spend all together too much time with each other and it's good for us to take a break.  It is also good for Dad to see WHY Mom is always threatening to kill herself.

D:  He did pretty well, except he didn't eat his eggs the way he eats them for you.
K:  What do you mean?
D:  Well he just pushed them around the tray and only ate a little.  I guess he likes the way you make them better.
K:  Did you put cheddar in them? 
D:  I couldn't find it.

I went over to the fridge, opened the door, and pulled out the Ziploc with a block of cheese in it from the second shelf.  The block of cheese had CHEDDAR in 72 point font written on the packaging.

K:  I could see how you couldn't find it.  It was very well hidden. 
D:  (ignoring me) so I put ricotta in his eggs instead.
K:  What? 
D:  It was there.  On the shelf.
K:  Cause it was on the shelf doesn't mean you should put it in the kid's eggs.
D:  Oh, well.
K:  I'm shocked the kid didn't want lasagna eggs.
D:  Not everyone has that weird food mixing thing you have.

I don't like my food to touch.  And I don't want to hear how it all mixes in your stomach.  I don't care.  It grosses me out if they touch each other on the plate.  I allow for casseroles and food that is supposed to touch.  I'll put cheddar on an omelette.  But just because I adore ricotta cheese doesn't mean I think it should ever be in the same room with cooked eggs.  And from the looks of it, I may have bred another one of my small crowd.  WooHoo to the non-touching food crowd.

      In general, I'm okay with my food touching. But I definitely would not want Ricotta near my eggs. Or in them. Or even situated next to the egg carton in the refrigerator. Blech!

      i'm so glad that i'm not the only husband with fridge-blindness. my god. it is SO irritating. he can't see why it's not relaxing for me to have him cook because he doesn't know where ANYTHING IS. this morning he asked me where a seasoning was that was directly in front of him. sigh.
