I'm good with the nebulous.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

No, I believe Dottie was the one asking if the woman who had a gravy pocket could make one for pickles. I love the idea of all that subversive crafting going on.

You have to wonder how prevalent that was during and after the war. My grandmother used to take plastic baggies to restaurants to take stuff home in and we're just "ask for a to go box, grandma!"

My great-grandmother used to do this at the all you can eat restaurant that didn't allow you to take leftovers home.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My grandmother used to take all the crackers and rolls and salt when we went out to restaurants. So embarrassing. I think everyone who lived through the Depression came out of it with permanent food anxiety.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
My grandmother had a glass bowl in her living room filled with all the matchbooks she had taken from various restaurants and she kept all the little shampoos and such from hotels on display in the bathroom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've taken crackers and rolls from restaurants! And I just took salt and pepper I didn't need from Panera to have in my desk in case I ever bring my lunch again.

My parents were Depression/War era folks, and food was not to be wasted. I don't remember any snitching of rolls, but we weren't restaurant people except on special occasions when Manners were important. And Manners preclude roll-snitching.

If the Starbucks has packets of honey, I'll nab some to throw in the drawer at home because sometimes you run out of honey! And you need a little bit.
