Remember those delicious pinwheels I bought for lunches on Monday? Like I said, there were three packs. I consumed two of them. I let The Pony choose the container that had those two GIANT pinwheels. Here. I'll show them again.
I told The Pony I didn't mind if he took them. I just didn't want them to go to waste. They had the sell-by date on the label. As I recall, that date was Oct 22. I kept harping at The Pony about his pinwheels. He kept choosing something else to eat, saying he was going to have them the next day. On Oct 22, we went to the casino, and had lunch there. The Pony said he might have them that evening. But then he said he didn't want anything, and only snacked.
He was going to have the pinwheels for lunch on Friday the 23. Then started eating cheese and crackers at 11:00 a.m. So he pushed them until supper. Then he said he'd have them after his nightly bath in the big triangle tub.
At 9:22 I got a text from The Pony.
"Pulled a tomato piece out of my thing. Large spot of mold on it."
"Don't eat them, I guess."
"Yeah. I'll make something."
That is upsetting. I would have gladly eaten those pinwheels for another meal. Like the night I had an expired roast beef sandwich from The Devil's Playground, when I served The Pony and Farmer H some ziti with red sauce and sausage pieces from a Ponytail Guy.
Not sure if The Pony was seeing actual mold, or parts of the limp lettuce that is also wrapped with the pinwheels. In any case, the twin tower pinwheels had to be destroyed. I don't know if he set them out for the dogs, or if I'll have to dig through the wastebasket for them if they're still in the container.
Darn That Pony. I won't be so quick to offer him prime pinwheels next time.
I'm guilty of the same thing. I tell myself to have an apple everyday, and I used to, but lately I get the apple out of the fridge, to get to room temperature before I eat it, then I put off eating it in favour of something else. The one on the bench right now has been there almost a week.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to design a sculpture to take the place of the Pinwheel Twin Towers. What will your sculpture be made of, and what will it look like? I expect a photo when it's erected (hee hee).
ReplyDeleteRiver,
ReplyDeleteAt least apples last longer than pinwheels. And you can always make a little apple-head doll companion out of it when it shrivels! I would not like twin tower pinwheel companions.

Sioux,
Materials? I feel the pull of a Ponytail Guy's meat... Not sure what the design is yet.
