Panera puts a LOT of umami in its food
For the first time in over two years, our school district is allowing visitors in the building. So my husband can resume volunteering in the classroom, we can walk our kids to their rooms in the morning for drop off, and we can actually SEE their classroom. I have never seen any classroom of my first grader, since he started school in August 2020, and I havenāt seen my fourth graderās classroom since he was in second grade. Kind of wild.

I nailed my 95 theses to my employerās door today. They say they want to hear about engagement, about turnover and compensation and retention, and Iāll give it to them.

I wish more people did this.
Iāve half-considered applying for a position at a former employer just to see if my exit interview got me labeled ānot eligible for rehireā.

I picked up a few cans of dog food as potential replacements for the Costco brand ones. I thought a couple of the cans looked different. I realized why when I went to open one and it didnāt have a pull ring. I donāt remember the last time I used a can opener before today.
Most cabs come with door handles. You just pull them.
:oops:

I remember the last time I used a can opener. Stupid some sort of thing that doesnāt open normally but instead takes the full top off. I threw it in the garbage.
Then it got fished out of the garbage and I got hell for throwing it out. So.yeah, I remember it.
What can I say. I solve problems, and the can opener was a problem.

I got one of those openers too. It leaves that nice, sharp edge on the can.

Iāve said it before and Iāll say it again: treat yourself to a can opener you like. You and your wife are members of a socioeconomic class where you can afford to be a two-can-opener family.
Are you really so short of cabinet space that you canāt fit his and hers can openers???
We have the most cabinets that our retired kitchen guy ever installed in his career. We arenāt short of space.
Nevertheless, none of that space is available for my use. Best if we just accept that and move on.
Youāre not allowed the space for a can opener?!?!
Youāre married right?
Iām gonna have that conversation for a utensil I use once every 20 years and likely wonāt ever again?
This isnāt the first time ive been told itās not my kitchen lol.

Most of the canned items I have donāt have a pop top. Canned vegetables and tuna primarily. I guess I have a very different pantry than the people here who never use can openers.

Well my husband rarely does anything in the kitchen, but if he felt half as strongly about the can opener as you do, Iād certainly allow him the space for a can opener of his choice. Thatās a really small concession, and Iād much rather have two than have him throw away mine.

We have control issues in the kitchen. I mention it occasionally. Generally after enough time has passed that Iāve forgotten how it went last time I mentioned it.
