Listening: It's for Your Own Benefit

I like my apple cider with whip cream on top. If you ask me, it makes all the difference in the world.

I was drinking some tonight while cooking dinner. There was a little left in the cup when Bob got home and he assumed it was a cup of fat. You know, the stuff you drain off ground beef while you're cooking it.

He walked over towards Sam as I told him, "No, it's apple cider"...and promptly realized I just lost a good opportunity to fool him. Assuring him it wasn't a cup of fat and it was apple cider, I picked it up and took a sip. He took a step back and said, "Oh sick! Did you get some in your mouth?!"

I started cracking up. I had not, in fact, lost my opportunity. I took another big swig as he coughed out, "Ughhh, I think I might throw up...".
I had to spit the rest back in my cup. I think that's when he figured it out.

Ahhhh, good times.

Who in the world would actually drink the fat, lol?

Classic Bob.

Yeah, I was kind of wondering, "On what precedent does Bob think that Greta would actually intentionally drink fat?" And I'm hoping - sincerely - that there is none.

OT - I use tin cans (soup, vegetables) for storing the skimmed fat from ground beef, sausage, etc. I keep the can in the freezer, so once it's full I can just dump it in the trash can solid and not have to worry about liquid in the trash bag or going down my non-disposal drain. I used to use our coffee cups, but could still smell the hamburger while trying to enjoy my lattes, ewww...

Lauren - good idea about the tin can. I'll have to start doing that.

And about smelling it in your latters...grody.
