Guess I'm Idiosyncratic After All
So, upon viewing my last post, Andy took it upon himself to describe a few of my idiosyncracies...hey, what are husbands for? He posted them as a comment, but it seems worth an actual post, don't you think? So here they are, according to Andy:
- Deep concern that the frozen items purchased at the grocery store get IMMEDIATELY home and into the freezer.
- Dishes awaiting washing should have NO standing water left in them.
- In 'Sixth-Sense' style, she sees babies EVERYWHERE.
- When switching to a new color of dish-soap, the old color must be completely rinsed from the bottle in order to avoid a grotesque mutant color.
- One must make a recipe EXACTLY as it is listed the first time--experimenting is only allowed on successive attempts.

These all seem pretty reasonable to me... esp. #4.

No. 5 must be a genetic trait. I absolutely agree that this is a must. Do you also insist on stacking newly cleaned sheets and towels on the bottom of the stack so they all take a turn to be used and wear out evenly? Do you punch your pillow loudly at night to fluff it up? If so, you are indeed your mother's daughter. If not, hey, you're still your mother's daughter.
Love,
Mom

No experimentation on the first go? That's no fun! Surely you know your tastes better than some anonymous recipe writer.
I also had a deep-seated aversion to dirty dishes with water standing in them. Mom and Dad would think they were doing me a favor by letting them soak, but that just created this stranged and disgusting witches brew of burnt meat and vegetables. Who wants to put their hands in that?

I don't know. Yours seem a little weird to me. Mine seem perfectly normal.

Strangely enough, I second #5. Scientific experiments are only valid after you've recreated the original set of conditions.
