So my neighbors (kind hearted as they may be) both went out of town. She to Texas for a week and He to North Dakota. As does anyone that will be away from home for awhile, they wisely cleaned out their fridge to avoid rotten food on their arrival back home.
Now, we apparently were designated the recipients of said food. I walk into my kitchen to find that we have been bequeathed a half empty 2 liter bottle of caffeine free diet coke (what's the point of that beverage really? If you are going to deny yourself the sugar, at least give yourself a jolt of caffeine), a tomato, and a red pepper. A very shriveled, sponge-like red pepper. I think the pepper was a day away from becoming a raisin. Well, a praisin if you will.
Now, I am all for not wasting food. In fact, you will rarely see a chip, cookie or candy bar be spared on my watch. But people. People, people, people, it's OK to toss your pruned-up peppers. In fact, I encourage it. And I know, I know....there are starving people in this world that would be more than happy to eat sponge-bob pepper pants, but I am not one of them.
Funny how there was no concern that their ice cream would get freezer burned. Not that I would wish that on anyone. I'm just sayin'.

Julie...we have absolutely got to get this out to the public....This is really good stuff!!! Girl, I love you!! I just needed a boost today, and I thought I'm going to go read Julie's blog...and sure enough I am laughing my head off. Keep it coming girl!!
Next time suggest that she freeze dry the shriveled veggies and send them to a starving child in Africa. Heck, they can probably have the wanna-be-Coke too.
Julie you crack me up!! I love reading your posts! :)
