Title: Re: 'Unusual' things people do in canoe country... Post by db on Jan 26th, 2010 at 7:39am
Hey, there's some newer voices chiming in- Welcome!
Back when a friend (same one that received the paddle I mentioned earlier) and I started bringing wives and girlfriends, his wife somehow used Tang as the au gratin part of some boxed potato mix (and Tang was never part of group food anyway). I don't know who's it was but I know it wasn't packed with the scalloped potatoes. This was a long time ago but as punishment we probably made her do dishes that evening. I remember she used over half of the soap I packed thinking there was a little bottle like that for every day. Ummm nope, but it was still plenty. To make up for things, she made breakfast the next day. The bacon was fine. The scrambled eggs, made in the same pan, were inedible. You could almost blow soap bubbles after the third bite. To this day I can't fathom how the bacon was fine and there was enough residual soap left in the pan to ruin the eggs - unless maybe they were scrambled in a separate pot or something instead of the pan? Huh, never thought of that possibility 'till tonight. Maybe that was it. I've told this story here before but I can't find it. I'll have to ask if she or the other three I'll see soon remembers the particulars. One of 'em is turning 50 next week and the paddle was a 30th b-day gift a few years later. |
