Basic Kitchen Utensils
The other night, Mark was searching furiously through the kitchen drawers.
"What are you looking for?"
"I can't find the pizza cutter".
"We don't have one".
"What? Who the hell does not own a pizza cutter?"
"Us".
"But a pizza cutter is a basic kitchen utensil!"
He did not even have pizza to slice, mind you. He was working on some terrain ans thought a pizza cutter would be good at cutting a particular material. He then proceeded to pull out all kinds of "weird" kitchen utensils, including an avocado slicer, grapefruit spoons, and a cherry pitter.
"How is it that we have a whole kitchen full of shit I that I don't know what half of it does, but we don't have a pizza cutter?" he asked, obviously very amused.
"We never eat pizza, and on the rare once or twice a year we do it comes pre-sliced. When was the last time you remember a fridge that did not contain avocados and grapefruit? I eat that shit all of the time".
This makes perfect sense to me. I don't like pizza all that much, so why would I have a specialized tool for it?
"Fine, but the next time we are in Crate and Barrel I am buying one. I am breaking some kind of man-code living in a house with spoons specifically for grapefruit but no pizza cutter.
I just think it is funny that we have lived together for three years and he is just noticing it. He cracks me up.
