Ummm.......dare random strangers to stick their arms in the Lobster tanks at chinese resturants

I thought it was a crab????

Lou- Erin is VERY impressed by the photo of your pantry!!

It wasn't just a crab it was a cable tied crab that looked like very peeved librarian.

Oh Lou are you a fan of super organisation? I am envious. My house is in a dismal array of disorganisation and clutter. I NEED some focus. I NEED some time... and most of all I NEED some motivation. If only OCD was sold in tablet form... me and my gf (who is slightly OCD) joke all the time I want her condition when I need to get a whole heap of stuff done she wants mine (Scientific term lethargy) when she is supposed to sit down and watch a movie or just relax (I'm a pro at this one!).

I used to write on my eggs, And if I am using tupperware I tend to cut off the use by and tape it to the container. If you find an opened box of crackers in my house you'll find it inside a ziplock bag within the box. I cannot stand open things. It drives me crazy. Its like open things in the fridge or things that are open in the freezer they take on other smells and tastes and its just wrong.

I will think of others... or maybe I'll ask DH.

If putting into a container then I normally rip off part of the packaging to place in the top, I just rip enough to show what it is and hopefully the expiry date. Not as neat as cutting and taping, it was just something my mum did. If I am using one of the decor containers with the tab, then I will write what it is and the date on the tab. I don't bother though if it is a high use item and obvious what it is, like oats or brown sugar.

OMG!!! Ido this too!! aaarrhh do i need help?

HAhahah eggs, we write on them when we collect them so I remember to use the older ones first. As they come from our own chickens its good to know

At work we write on everything, but that has to do with being a vet nurse. I refuse to eat something if its left open. I always have to have it enclosed to keep it fresh!

[Lulu]

Oh no, my new friend touched the lobster, I did the fish and we just laughed at the librarian crab....

Apart from that I just get homicidal if anyone tries to muck about with food I'm in the middle of cooking.

I go completely psycho if someone hands me a multi-page document without a staple.

If I find a really nice pen, I write a To Do list just so I can use it.

I keep my special pens in my pencil case.

I'm obsessed with real estate sites and also holiday rental sites. I refuse to stay somewhere if I don't like the doona covers in the pics.

[fionas]

Whoopsy just noticed this was about recipes, cooking & food.

Don't mind me!
