The cookie that ate Seattle.

[sarea]

I don't claim to be a good cook. I'm pretty decent, I think. I can make myself an edible meal. But never have I made something that ATE THROUGH PLATES. You see, last night I made cookies. But cold cookies aren't very good most of the time. So I brought a couple to work, placed one on a little polystyrene plate, and nuked it for about 40 seconds. When I took it out, it smelled a bit burnt, and there was a dark spot in the middle of the cookie. Well, I thought, I'll just eat around it. Part of the way through, I noticed that there was a GIGANTIC HOLE IN THE PLATE! The cookie had somehow melted it away, like acid! Needless to say, I stopped eating the cookie.

So, yeah, anyone want to come over to my place for Thanksgiving? I'm cooking.

Meanwhile, can you believe that in this day and age there are people who don't wash their hands after using the restroom? Yep, there are. (I'm not talking about myself, in case you were wondering.)

yes, what is up with bathroom etiquette these days? I was going to comment on this the other day. I was in a restuarant and a waitress, yes a WAITRESS, did not wash her hands. I felt violently ill after that.

Your cooking scares me by the way. What was in those cookies!

What was in those cookies!

mynuet says that anything with high grease content will melt away polystyrene plates. I do not know if this is true, but I choose to believe it.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. :)

I think polystyrene sometimes bubbles and melts in the microwave. It's possible that the cookie was not at fault. Or I could be wrong.

[seldon.livejournal.com]

I was thinking something along the same lines: that the heat in the polystyrene had nowhere to go because the cookie was on top (carbohydrates are bad conductors of heat) so the material melted. However, I think it is much more amusing if we don't tell Sarea this and let her think that her cooking can have lethal attributes. :p

You are my one true friend.

*comforts* Don't worry about the cookie. Maybe it got hungry?

But I would have come over to your place to eat on Thanksgiving. Your cooking could not be so bad that we would all die horrible deaths by just eating your food. No? I didn't think so.

I have been on a similar bathroom rant myself the past few days - one that as a Seattle-ite should understand.

I too am from Seattle - but I'm in NC for school right now. I have come to the conclusion that the state of NC has not entered the 20th century quite enough to add those little paper seat covers to the women's restroom. The girls out here don't have a clue as to what I am talking about. I think they all must have fantastic gluts from their 'hovering', meanwhile I have lost the skill due to spoilage by said paper seat covers. *sigh* I don't understand how they go without here - eh... I suppose ignorance is bliss!

I've been meaning to comment on something of yours for ages. I absolutely love your writing - you are amazing!

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

Awww, thanks so much! I'm actually not a native Seattlite, but I've been here for nearly four years. Wow, I can't believe it's been that long. I'm from SoCal, so that's what I consider "civilization." ; ) I also love the east coast ... haven't been to NC. And from what you've just said, I'm not sure it's going to be high on my list of states to visit. Heehee.

And dude, at least they hover. That means they're aware of things called germs, which is a start. :D

Don't use polystyrene to nuke anything. Period. It almost always melts. Plus, I'd heard somewhere (ages ago) that it releases gases/toxins/stuff when heated.

So, it wasn't your cooking. Trust me.

[rainpuddle13.livejournal.com]

polystyrene plate <-- will always melt in the microwave no matter what you have on it. They are evil little plates.

Sweets, I see people not just not washing hands, but not flushing either. These people are in college. I think that there should be potty patrols - you don't flush or wash you are tossed out because you are mature enough to be in college. *screams at the ickiness of it all*

[sevenfourteen.livejournal.com]

oh man, doesn't that drive you nuts? I mean how frickin hard is it to flush the damn toilet? if you don't wanna touch it with your hands, use the foot. just do something!!

[rainpuddle13.livejournal.com]

Well, what matters worse is the homeless that use the restrooms for taking baths in the sinks. I can't tell you how many times I've walked into the restroom and found a half naked woman. Trust me, it's not a pretty sight!!!!

:o

ok, now that is really disturbing...and sad. that i have yet to see.
