I have been hearing about how we are all out of salt in this house for over a week now.   The kids were whining at me…”There’s no sea salt…there’s no ‘regular’ salt”.  And God forbid we eat anything without pasting it full of salt first…after all, my children are in a steep competition with one another to see who can completely clog their arteries that fastest…. so I understood the agony they were in.  I was sure we had some of each type in the cabinet, but when my husband, Corey, chimed in and announced that indeed the kids were right, we were out of salt, I did not bother looking and just added it to the grocery list.

I have also heard about how we are out of butter for the last week as well.  The kids kept whining that they couldn’t make toast or pancakes without butter. And they certainly couldn’t make one of their favorite snacks…popcorn…that was a double whammy…no butter OR salt for the popcorn.  I asked Corey at one point while he was digging in the fridge if we had any sticks of butter towards the back, and he insisted…”There are no tubs of butter…there are no sticks 0f butter…we have nothing in here”.

Ok..ok…clearly I need to go grocery shopping and pick up some of the staples.  I was getting even more concerned about my memory though because I was certain we had both salt and butter…but I chalked it up to the B12 not working and moved on.

Well, low and behold…I dug in the cabinet today to grab some pasta that was shoved in the back and guess what I found…An entire container of sea salt…AND...an entire container of “regular” salt!

I then moved to the fridge to grab the parmesan cheese from the back and sure enough…I found 4 sticks of butter right next to it!

So….the next time you people living under this roof want to chastise me for being senile…just remember this! ;o)
