DAMMIT...

OK...here's the deal: I had an old roommate with some pretty stupid ideas. He didn't really know how things work in the real world. Well, he moved in here with a sugar canister FULL OF SALT. Well, we destroyed a few meals with that sugar. Well, then he moved out, and, ever anxious to save a buck, my wife ACCEPTED his donation of all the salt, but since it was out of the salt box, she put it into ANOTHER canister. We simply have NOWHERE to put it! So, against my warnings, we ended up with a canister of salt. Well, she screwed up some cookies, some peanut butter bars, some chili, and a few pitchers of kool-aid with it.
THEN WE GOT MARRIED....
And we got NEW CANISTERS! GREAT canisters. So, I THOUGHT I had overseen the whole canister-transplant process, and I would have NEVER allowed the salt to make it through...

Well, I come home tonight, TIREAD AS HELL from a very busy night at work (all the undergrads have a big animation due Saturday, and they were scrambling for someone to fix their scenes), and there's nothing to drink. --But then I remember I had a can of Minute Maid frozen lemonade concentrate in the fridge. So, I put it in the pitcher, added my water, and added the customary 2 teaspoons of sugar to take the edge off. Anxious to get that first, refreshing drink, I turned up the pitcher AND ALMOST PUKED ALL OVER THE KITCHEN! SALT IN MY LEMONADE!!! 2 WHOLE TEASPOONS!!!! Man, what a kick in the nuts THAT is!!! DESTROYED MY LEMONADE!! Salt does NOT go in a canister right beside the sugar. NEVER!!! :|

Dude, just toss the salt out. Salt is dirt cheap, it's not like it'll be a big financial burden on you guys.

When I was a kid I misread the recipe for cc cookies and reversed the amounts of sugar and salt. Talk about wasting a good batch of cookie dough!

People actually bake cookie dough? I still think its best raw even though I know thats not the healthiest way to prepare it.

Oh yeah, Napalm...

That was the point of the whole post! Somehow I forgot to put it in there! :) I threw the salt out immediately. With much protest from the wifey... "Nooooo!!! That's perfectly good salt!!! Don't!!!!" DOWN IT WENT. :) I mean, SERIOUSLY....When I think of how much salt there is in there, and how much money it could end up costing us in spoiled drinks/food/recipes.... It's a NO-BRAINER. Hell, we probably only go through about one shaker's worth of salt every 2 years or something anyway!

I bought some salt a few months ago, it was like 38 cents for a damn pound of the stuff. You have certainly destroyed more than 38 cents worth of tasty goodness due to that crap.

Man, if you guys think this is funny....you should see Heather after baking all night only to take a big bite out of a peanut butter SALT LICK BAR. Oh my GOD! And let me tell you this: When you get that much salt in your mouth, you can't get rid of the taste for QUITE a while!
