this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

msbelle, I think Chuck E Cheese *does* have beer, for that very reason. Seriously. They know the parents would kill or die without it.

BTW Anyone want a counter top dishwasher, a Super 8 camera or a Pachinko machine?

I would LOVE a Pachinko machine, but I live in a house that is owned by another of the Garage Sale Kings. So there is no place to put it.

I would also love a counter top dishwaser, but we would need actual counter space to put it on. I would take pictures of how little counter space we have (and I don't mean because of clutter; I mean because of how this house was designed by an insane person), but I'm ashamed of it. (Barely big enough for a cutting board, and that is all. Literally.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I just want you all to know that you've driven me to tater tots.

hip deep in pie

My kitchen has not much more. Enough actual counter space for the dish rack and a cutting board. I am dreaming of a new kitchen with: a kichen fan, counter space, and, the holy grail...a dishwasher.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

We have a counter. One. That also has a sink. Actual counter space? about a foot on each side of the sink. WTF, 1920's homebuilders!?!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Oh. It does have a built in cutting board and trash can though. So there's that...

Yeah, INSANE!

That's how old this house is, too! Do you have any closets?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Anyway, I offer unto you this tiny bit of life enhancement: tater tots.

We had those for dinner last night! Ore-Ida makes a smaller, round version called Crispy Crowns which are, as their name suggests, crispier. We all love 'em.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I shall send you all jealous making pictures of my new kitchen. Mwahahaha.

Also still at the cheese. None of the other parents are drinking. I do not want to be trashy mom. I don't actually know any of these parents.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Our home is counter-deprived too. Plus the counters are tiled and therefore useless as far as cooking surfaces go. Lame. We have yet to remodel the kitchen, but we did put in a large butcher block counter to make the intervening years easier.

Because books.

msbelle, you're moving! Eff 'em.

Crispy Crowns are excellent!

Also, a brand called Food Should Taste Good makes a multigrain tortilla chip that is delicious beyond words. I found them in Wegman's organic section.
