Poison, Apple

Who knew that a single trip to the Devil's Playground could provide me with so much material to waste your time! I wish I had taken pictures of Farmer H's flatbread pizza, and the pasta. I guess I was just in a hurry to get his supper over with.

Once I had served him half of the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, I felt a stab of conscience. Wasn't there some kind of pasta recall at the Devil's Playground recently? Nationwide? With a possibility of DEATH due to listeria??? 

I recalled asking The Pony, a pasta aficionado, about it. And was assured that The Pony's favorite was bags of refrigerated Rana brand 5 Cheese Tortellini. Never fettuccine. Well, this was not good. Farmer H was already eating his supper. I consulted my estranged BFF Google.

Whew! That was a close one. I had bought Fresh Market Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo for Farmer H. It came from the refrigerated section of the deli, in a tray with a cellophane top. And the recall had been for Bettergoods Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine, which was frozen, in a bright yellow bag. Farmer H would live to berate me again!

Speaking (technically typing) of berating... When I arrived home that day, Farmer H came out to the garage to carry in the groceries.

"Be careful getting those bags out! I have apples again, and I don't want you letting one fall out like last time!" 

The week before, when I heard an apple hit the concrete garage floor, and saw Farmer H stoop to pick it up, I told him that was HIS apple! And made sure I sent it in his lunch for the SUS2.5. I didn't want a repeat. Those apples were kind pricey.

Farmer H carried in the bags without incident, then went about his business of doing who knows what outside (though I'm sure it was something to annoy me in the future).

While taking items out of the bags, I DROPPED AN APPLE ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR! It bounced and rolled. Dang it! I picked it up and set it on the counter. To become my nightly apple after supper. That was only fair. It didn't have time for the bruise to develop much.

I confess that the thought of making it Farmer H's lunch apple crossed my mind.
