Oh my gosh, we are cut from a similar cloth.
As I was feverishly packing to move out of my house back in the Midwest I nearly drove myself crazy (LOL, understatement of the millennium) with anxiety about wasting food.
When I should have been packing my crock pot I was loading it with a jumbo bag of frozen meatballs and pouring the remnants of practically every condiment in the refrigerator into the mix.
They were HORRIBLE! Almost worse than the taste was the smell. It was still lingering the day I finally packed the last load and drove down the hill.
If only I had been working with sour cream and apples . . . I might have been able to give them away. This concoction was a new-age witches brew, minus the eye of newt. I think my "business partner/best friend/serotonin drip" of over twenty years ended up taking them home as an act of charity.
Why do we (the collective, all forgiving, "we are family," WE) make things so HARD on ourselves? It seems so damn necessary at the moment.
God bless your dad, apple pie, and this board. Maybe the next time I move I'll just cut my ketchup losses and throw all that stuff away!
