You know what I hate?

[dreamshark]

You know how when someone in your family eats up all but the last half spoonful of something and then closes up the container and puts it back in the fridge? So you say to yourself, "Oh I guess I don't need to buy yogurt because there are 3 containers of yogurt in there already."  Or, "Hey, I think I'll make lemon basil chicken tonight with that big bunch of basil I bought at the Farmers Market last Sunday?" And the next thing you know you are making lime chive chicken because there's only 3 leaves of basil and 1/4 teaspoon of lemon juice in the fridge?

Yeah, that. I hate that.

I'm thinking I wouldn't hate the chive chicken, though.

What did they do with your basil?

It turned out to be remarkably good in salad, but that didn't really take a lot.

I think Richard just used it up by dumping it wholesale into a stir fry. That's not even a particularly good use for basil. He just can't resist throwing too many ingredients into everything he makes, whether it improves the flavor or not.

I think basil in stir fry sounds excellent.

Kinhdo has a bunch of holy basil stir fries that are really delicious. Or they used to; I haven't been there in a while. P.

I hate that, too. Which is one of the reasons I like living alone. (Not suggesting that as a solution for you, honest.)

There is always a part of me that misses living alone.

[minnehaha]

I have never lived alone.

Sometimes I do not like being the one who does the food preperation AND the grocery buying, but right at this moment I think it's a good system.
