I put the meat WHERE?

So it looks like more leftover troubles for Hildy B.

I made a huge pot of pulled pork. It was DELACIOUS. Slow cooked all day for sumptuous barbecuey flavor.

I ate it for dinner and remarked on how much there was left--easily enough for another 3 days' worth of meals for two people. Then I put the leftovers away.

When I went for it the next day, it was nowhere to be found. I searched the entire refrigerator 5 times. I checked the dishwasher--maybe hubby had eaten it all (!!) and thrown the tupperware container in the dishwasher. Nope. I checked the sink. Looked all over the counter. Searched the refrigerator again. Nothing.

So I blamed Hubby, of course.

Hildy B: "Did you eat ALL of that meat?"

Hubby: "No."

Hildy B: "You must have. It isn't here."

Hubby: "I didn't."

Hildy B: "Then where is it?"

Hubby: "I don't know. You must have eaten it all."

Hildy B: "I didn't eat it! There was a ton left! And now it's not there! YOU must have eaten it!"

Hubby: "I didn't! I swear!"

So we began picking apart the kitchen. Drawers, cupboards, the oven, you name it. The good news is, I located the leftover meat. The bad news: I found it in the tupperware cabinet.

So I've been a little preoccupied lately. I can't help it! I've had a lot going on! So of course, I made a half-hearted attempt to blame Hubby again.

Hildy B: "I found it! But it was in the tupperware cabinet. How did it get there?"

Hubby: "Gee, I wonder. Way to go. Look at all that wasted meat."

Hildy B: "I don't remember putting it in there."

Hubby: "Mmm-hmm."

Hildy B: "Maybe I DIDN'T put it in there. Maybe YOU did."

Hubby: "What???"

Hildy B: "Well, yes, I ate it, but maybe I left it out. And maybe you found it, and YOU put it in the tupperware cabinet."

Hubby: "Nice try."

So the meat-wasting tupperware-challenged couple strikes again. Why do we seem to have so much trouble with this? It's not a difficult concept. I just don't get it. We are relatively bright individuals. We attended college. Why are we seemingly incapable of getting the leftovers INTO the refrigerator like normal people?

I dunno. I'm at a loss. All I know is, I've simply GOT to start keeping something at my desk besides beef jerky and sunflower seeds.....
