Damn those raspberries!
Thursday, August 17, 2006
Yesterday while at the store I picked up a pint of raspberries. DH really likes them and, as he's been working very hard lately, I thought he deserved a little treat.
So I left them on the kitchen counter. Because you should never put fresh berries in the fridge if you're going to eat them right away. That's what my Mom says.
Fast-forward to last night. After enjoying a lovely meal, I reached for the raspberries, only to discover a big, nasty red stain on the countertop when I picked up the container.
Were they weeping in fear at the sight of the nasty kitchen floor? Did the loud disco music bother them? Or were they rooting for Travis instead of Benji on So You Think You Can Dance?
It doesn't matter, we ate the berries anyway and then stared at the square stain on the counter that we don't really like anymore. Now we have another reason not to like it.
And they say eating fresh fruit is good for you. ;)

First: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Seriously, that stuff is awesome and will totally get rid of the stain. You wouldn't believe the stuff I've made go away.
Second. Be glad you don't have fruitflies. I have an abundance of them all over the house and no matter how often I take out the garbage and clean the kitchen with all sorts of powerful cleansers, they will not go away. We have a bottle with apple cider vinegar on the counter, which has become a fruitfly swimming pool (tho, most aren't coming back out, thank goodness), but they're still flying all over the damn house. :(
OMG Lara, the eraser totally worked! Now I have to find another way to destroy the nasty kitchen counter. As for the fruit flies, check your banana stems - that's where they usually hide. Give them a scrub when you bring them home.
