Hide and Seek
I’ve posted before about how V’s family does not employ the use of the refrigerator as much as they should. His mom cooks entire meals at night, then leaves everything sitting on the stove or counter until dinner the next day. Because of this, I have suffered from, ahem, food poisoning (to put it nicely) too many times to count. For the past month, V and I have completely stopped eating any non-refrigerated items. I can deal with the looks and the comments, but I can no longer deal with feeling sick.
So, lately, dinners have appeared out of thin air. I know that the meals are not freshly prepared, and I also know that the items were never in the refrigerator. However, the exact origin of these dinners has been a mystery…until today.
While preparing breakfast, I started searching through drawers for a mixing bowl. In one of the drawers, I found a little something extra:
Hmmm, Bowls? Check. Bags? Check. Pork Steaks? Check. Wait, what?
I’m so confused…

What? I don’t understand … Why don’t they use the fridge? Is it like a superstitious thing?
I have no idea. It’s not a superstitious thing. Just chalk it up to another thing that makes my fiance’s family “unique”. I would say laziness, but seeing that they go through the trouble of hiding food, I guess it’s not that…Back to the drawing board!
Oh no!! I’m feeling queasy just looking at that. Ick. I guess you could think of it as an Easter Egg hunt…just 7 months early…??
“…In one of the drawers, I found a little something extra…”
Yeah, your boyfriend’s mom is scatterbrained, probably she had some idea, but later forgot what she did, forgot her idea, forgot everything, because this “something extra” was hidden deeply and not visible. How one should remember that what is not clearly visible? :D . Guess, why the food always is left on the stove :D. In order one couldn’t forget :D .
Actually it reminds me my own parents, but I never was obedient kid ;). If I was in your place i’d stay firmly on my own insisting to pay heed to hygiene. If it was a labour camp in Siberia, then OK, any food is OK, but now it’s worse than in Siberia, because the temperature is below zero over there, and here the temperature is nearly subtropical, so it makes some difference. So, something like that ;) :D.
You are probably right :) But, that still leaves the question…Why did she put it there in the first place? Haha…Also, I love it. A Lithuanian seeing the positives of a Siberian labor camp! You are so right. The food would stay fresh in that freezer ;)
Brooke, you need a show. Seriously. I would watch that.
