the sandwitch caper
|
the sandwitch caper Reciently three post docs in my mates went home to china and were detained leaving me with their work. Unfortunately the work could not wait so guess who the boss picked. Yep me and the indian guy becouse every one else was in china or on vacation. He initially suggested we could do it in 7 days but we figured out that it would actually take more like 1 month working 12-14 hour shifts. Now your probaally wondering wtf does this have to do with a sandwitch...relax I am getting to it. Obviously I was working so much that I literally went from bed to work and work to bed leaving zero time for my big date plans while the boys were gone, no time to shop and little time to eat. So I hired someome to cook and make sandwitches for me. Ok your going to tease me but I hired my mom, she needed the money and I needed the food. And no she does not live with us. So about three weeks ago my oldest moved back home and liked the deal I had so well that he decided to hire her too. (she is an excellent cook). One day I noticed that my sandwitch seemed a bit off to say the least. I thought I tasted soap but knew it couldnt be true. Dude if I cant trust my mom who can I trust and there is no way she would put soap in my sandwitch ( I hope). So I ate it any way. It started to happen on a daily basis but only one or two bites tasted like soap. Clearly I was having paranoia! Lo and behold my said to me one day "dad I think grandma is tring to poision me by putting soap in my sandwitch". I gave him a lecture on how he should be thankful we were getting good lunches with holemade berad and brownies but I did visit my mom and mention it to her. She was not happy but thought dad (the perfectionist) might be getting some soap on the counter after a few glasses of wine. The next day was fine but the day after it was so bad that my toung was coated with an oily substance that had me running for the toilet. My concurred that he had thrown out his as well. When I mentioned it to mom she was pissed that we thought she would be putting soap in our food.. although the thought did occur to me that it would be great payback for all those gray hair moments. We finally convinced her that perhaps the meat from the store was bad and to please seperate each part of the sandwitch into seperate bags so we could test it. Mine had it in the corned beef and lettuce. His had it in the bread and lettuce. When we told her what we found she gave us a lecture on how her house was cleaner than our man cave. Being the scientest I noted that the meat had the greatest quantity so I sampled her soap. I have not had soap in my mouth for years and the liquid stuff burns! So that eliminated the soap. ..Hmm transfer to meat must be a lipid..hand cream? Yes she put on CVS brand face cream in the morning but washed her hands so we asked her to try some gloves. Oh she was pissed! but like the great mom she is she put them on. Yeah happy sandwitches! Turns out the face cream had seperated in the bottle and the oil didnt wash off but did transfer to the food. She promised to get a different face cream. Thank goodness becouse I dont think my digestive system could take any more. Also one more request and she might have spanked me and my . Ahh the adventures in life |
