Yesterday my wife ask me if I would take leftovers out of plastic containers when microwaving. I agreed wondering what that was all about. I walk in the kitchen and she has Sunday's leftovers I had put away out on the counter. Ohh, that will be good tonight, I say. She stares at me and said to me "well you put it in the microwave, did you forget to turn it on and please take the lids off at least". Thinking hard now I recall cleaning up the kitchen and dishes after she prepared dinner Sunday night and put the leftovers in the tupperware container. Tired as I was, after cleaning dishes and wiping out microwave, I cleaned off counters and stuck tupperware in microwave after picking it up off counter to clean under it. I did not know how to tell her it had been in there 48hrs. now and somebody could get sick. After a failed attempt that it was not that good and we now should pitch it, I realize I am digging a bigger hole. OK, I must have stuck it in there two nights ago instead of the fridge...:ashamed:
I just got that stare... We all have had that stare! Maybe it will get me out of KP in future. Doubt it, probably just invited a more prompt inspection of my cleanups.
