Eleven Bottles of Mustard

stormdogThere's a lot of stuff that sits on the dishwasher in the kitchen. (It's a free-standing model on wheels that gets moved around.) I started putting some of the extra stuff into the can cupboard. The giant jar of peanut-butter (there were two). The giant bottle of ketchup (again, two). Then I looked at the bottles of mustard and started counting them.
To be fair, there are many different kinds of mustard represented. But I think it's kind of ridiculous that we have eleven bottles of mustard sitting on top of the dishwasher. Eleven. I kind of feel like that encapsulate the problems with keeping stuff organized in this house. Nobody really claims any responsibility for things, but they don't want to get rid of them, and they pile up.
Oops. Make that thirteen.
Okay, I just looked through a couple of boxes there and we're up to fifteen. So I put a different kind of mustard on each of four slices of the pizza I just made. A stoneground, a dijon, a plain yellow, and a hot Chinese style. That last one smells *so* good.
I'm going to start putting mustard on a bunch of different foods here I think, just to try them out.
