Stem Research
I was going to make macaroni and cheese tonight and cheesy bread with pepperoni. Sort of overkill, but since I was going to be grating cheese, I figured why not.
Pasta boiling away, laundry and boiler chores done, I tried to assemble the food processor, because if you think I’m grating cheese by hand, you are out of your mind. (though I admit I do it once in awhile when I use the cheese grater the vigilance brought back from Italy.) Very important part missing: the stem. Last time it went missing was because the boyfried put it away. You might remember him from when I had to set him straight.
So, I call the boyfried. Speaker phone. “Do you know where the stem is for the food processor?” Nope. Laughing. Pissing me off, since I have spent 20 minutes searching every drawer and closet. “Well, okay then. I guess you’ll be eating pasta with store sauce, since the pasta is cooked, and I’m not grating cheese by hand, and I can’t find the motherfucking stem which you have obviously hidden away in some secret place that is mysterious to me.”
“Calm down.”
“I’m calm; you’re eating crap when you could be eating a good meal. That’s okay, we can eat the cheese and say forget about it.”
unforutnately, he had a client in the room while i was ranting. oy.Thankfully, I have all the paperwork for the food processor, so if I have to order another stem, I can. Boyfried? Irreplaceable.
