Chocolate Blind Spots

[cjsmith]

I was just reading an old post that reminded me I have chocolate at home. Godiva, a collection of truffles, waiting in the fridge.

What kind of moron am I that I need to be reminded I have chocolate? Do I just not have the "food = wonderful" gene that everyone else has? Heh, nothing so simple as that. I wouldn't need to be reminded if I had chicken makhni in there. Mmm, anything made with that much butter... Wait, I DO have chicken makhni in there!

*sigh*

Y'know what? I think it's that I do not trust anything that comes out of that refrigerator. I think of what food I have, and I can tell you what's in the freezer or the cabinets. I forget what's in the fridge. It's a big noisy blind spot in my kitchen.

Pfff. Ask soaring_phoenix about how much I'm reminded by her about any awesome foods we might have on hand at any particular time. Fridge, panty, freezer, etc.

panty

panty

That was supposed to say pantry, but whatever works. ;-)

Hey, if I have to remind you what's in the panty, we've got other issues.....

Um, according to him, awesome food? 8-)

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

Exactly! ;-)

I forget about many kinds of food if they aren't visible, which is why I don't like my opaque crispers.

But I never forget about an eclair.

Heh. I like that. :-)

I really oughta say I never forget about Godiva dark chocolate, but I'm obviously not right about that!
