My neighbor is weird

Nov 19, 2008 22:51

Since the beginning of my program, my class has taken to celebrating everybody's birthday. Due to the last birthday falling on Thanksgiving and the way our schedules next week we are celebrating tomorrow. I found a recipe for mashed sweet potatoes that sounded good that was vegan and gluten free as the birthday girl is allergic to gluten. I've never cooked for so many people (approximately a dozen) so I ended up buying too much of every ingredient I had to buy. I have two Chinese food containers for my classmates, one for my sister, and I decided to give a smaller container to one of my neighbors. She was very cordial in accepting the food and asked if I wanted some Spanish rice. I've loved Spanish rice since I was a child so I didn't turn it down. My neighbor invited me in while she got me some food. I follow her into the kitchen and I notice her washing a very familiar looking container and orange water in the sink. She puts some rice in the container and says a few things including that she will try some of the mashed sweet potato. I'm happy to have gotten the rice and I'm not offended really offended by her wanting to get rid of my food, but did she really think that I wouldn't have easily figured out that she dumped my food? I also don't get why she just didn't give me the rice in some other container, bowl, plate, etc. and not tried to be so slick with getting rid of my food.
