Apparently I eat food off stranger's plates .... soap chili

  So a couple of weeks ago Dave brought home some dinner after an interview dinner out. I was appreciative of him doing that. The next day I ate it for lunch and was thinking it was kind of weird that he had leftovers! He eats a ton and usually finishes my food. I don't think I've ever seen him not finish a meal. That got me a little worried about the food I had just eaten, was he sick? Was there something wrong with it? Why didn't he eat it? Of course, we only have time to talk every week or so! (fellowship is killing us both!)  Anyway, I finally got around to asking him about it a week later and he finally fessed up that it was the leftovers from SOMEONE ELSE's plate! Whaatttt!!!?? I ate some strangers food? SO GROSS!  He told me it was totally fine. She barely touched it and he totally felt fine about it since he ate her dessert that night too.  Who was she?  An applicant for fellowship. We don't even know her name. So gross. Since I control 95% of what he eats I'll think I'll have plenty of chances at creative payback!

Perhaps I already had payback. Last week we had our ward chili cookoff. I made Jen's chili which is amazing and you should try it!  Anyway, I made a big pot of chili and set aside some for Dave since he was working late and some leftovers for me for another day. Calvin had a rough afternoon and we ended up having a really hard time getting out the door. When we were about to leave the cookoff Calvin said, oh by the way I put soap in the chili.  I asked him,  How much? And he said, A little. When did you do it? I asked and he said right before we left.   Oh gosh. By now it was mostly gone anyway....too late to do much of anything about it.

I tasted the chili when I got it home and it tasted fine. It was kind of spicy so you couldn't taste soap at all, but I thought it had a soapy aftertaste. So sorry people who ate it. Hope nobody got sick.

Anyway, I had texted dave earlier in the evening with some of calvins shenaganings, which were several that night. So, when he went to get dinner I told him Calvin put the soap in right before we left so I thought his was ok! So he made a big plate of spagetti with chili on top and was about 1/2 way through the plate when he said his mouth was too soapy to eat anymore! He had to throw it all away and get something else.

Our life is a circus.
