SAN GERALDO COCINA. Yo limpio la cocina después. No es que no pueda cocinar. Simplemente no lo disfruto. Además, San Geraldo odia la limpieza. Es un partido hecho en el cielo. Si no sabe (o le gusta) lo que está haciendo, cocinar puede ser peligroso. Cuchillos afilados. Aceites de ebullición. Placas calientes — y hornos. Microondas. Sin mencionar Salmonella y E. coli. Soy descuidado. Pensé, sin embargo, que había perfeccionado el arte de comer.

| REMEMBER THE CAKE SAN GERALDO MADE FOR LUKE'S BIRTHDAY? ¿RECUERDAS LA TARTA SAN GERALDO HECHA PARA EL CUMPLEAÑOS DE LUKE? |
 |
| WE HAD LEFTOVER APRICOTS AND FROSTING AT HOME. TENÍAMOS RESTOS DE ALBARICOQUES Y CHOCOLATE GLASEADO. |
 |
| AS CLOSE AS I SHOULD EVER GET TO COOKING. LO MÁS CERCA QUE PUEDA LLEGAR A COCINAR. |
 |
| I "COOKED" MY LUNCH OF LEFT-OVER CREAM CHEESE (FROM THE FILLING), ON RICE CAKES WITH JAM. "COCINÉ" MI ALMUERZO DE RESTO DE LA PHILADELPHIA (DEL RELLENO DE LA TARTA), EN TORTITAS DE ARROZ CON MERMELADA. |
 |
| I THEN DROPPED IT (TWICE) ON MY T-SHIRT AND JEANS. EVEN EATING IS HAZARDOUS. LE CAYÓ (¡¡¡DOS VECES) EN MI CAMISETA Y VAQUEROS. INCLUSO COMER ES PELIGROSO. |

I don't cook OR clear up (well, apart from the minimum necessary) - just like Dudo and Moose, who also survive without doing either.
ReplyDeleteRay:
DeleteI sometimes have to motivate myself to clean up, but my obsessive-compulsiveness takes over and it makes me much happier and much more relaxed when everything is in order. Wish I could do the same with my head!
That's a good reason to have houseboys in my case. But it bring about other hazards
ReplyDeletemistress maddie:
DeleteWell, living dangerously can be a good thing.
spouse cooks & cleans up. I cook & spouse cleans up. works for us. the cats do nothing.
ReplyDeleteanne marie:
DeleteSounds like you got the best end of that deal. Spouse is a keeper!
Need a rag to clean it up? ;p
ReplyDeleteThose chairs in the living room look so comfortable!
KMoff:
DeleteI hear red terrycloth works well. But, um, no thanks. The chairs are pretty comfortable. I'd love something a bit smaller. But they're from IKEA and it's easy to replace with their standard slipcovers. We've had three fabrics already in our 6 years here. Now that the cats aren't destroying them, we can even go upscale with a nicer texture next time.
I love to cook, and clean up only because I don't have on of Mistress's houseboys.
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteI'd love to have those houseboys. I'd always be helping them clean up ... and cook.
You're a hazard!
ReplyDeleteDebra:
DeleteAnd proud of it!
That food is worth the risk!
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteI know. My rice cakes and cream cheese are a gourmand's delight.
But do you do the laundry?!? Best get something on that so it doesn't stail lol
ReplyDeleteCheapchick:
DeleteYep. I do the laundry, which reminds me that I've got an old story to tell about San Geraldo and laundry.
I am going to try out the rice cakes with cream cheese and a dollop of strawberry jam.
ReplyDeleteHeron:
DeleteFeel free to share my recipe. Your variation -- strawberry -- would be even better. I had an open jar of raspberry.
I don't like to do either
ReplyDeleteAdam:
DeleteDaisy is a saint -- unless she also doesn't like to do either (or unless she doesn't like to do either either).
I cook AND cleanup in this household. What a bum deal. And at least you had the common sense to wear a jam colored shirt before you dropped jam all over it.
ReplyDeleteA Beer For The Shower:
DeleteI wish I had been wearing my jam, cream cheese, and rice cake colored shirt!
Do you have any idea what a tease you are? I think you do, Mitchell. I think you do. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteSend San Geraldo my way anytime.
Oh, and you too. I don't like doing dishes.
Robyn:
DeleteI am GREAT at clean-up. Jerry is BRILLIANT at cooking and baking.
Rice.Cakes.
ReplyDeleteOh, hell no.
Bob:
DeleteI had a colleague who told me I ate food that tasted like packing material (power bars, fake chocolate protein bars, rice cakes). I asked her how she knew what packing material tasted like.
Mitchell this is Ron. Ron this is Mitchell!!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe ALL that cake is gone!! YUMMY!
Jim:
DeleteI am honored to be in such good company. We left the remaining half-cake with Pedro and Kathleen despite their arguments. It took them more than a week to finish it. Jerry and I would have plowed through it in two days.
I'm a fairly good cook and I can whip up a lot of dishes, but for the sake of my marriage I try and stay out of the kitchen, but I make myself useful when it comes gto washing dishes.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteI stay out of Jerry's way. If he's doing a big cooking project, he'll call out "Clean up in the kitchen." I'll keep things caught up.
