Hubby Spilled the Beans

Tweet

Literally! I spent a couple of hours today sorting, cleaning, and cooking lentils. I hate sorting through them and it seems to take forever to make sure there aren't any rocks or other foreign substances in two cups of lentils. But I finally got the job done. The plan was to freeze three cooked 12-ounce portions, put one more in the fridge, and use some on top of my salad today. About a cup was still left, so I put that in a glass refrigerator dish to use soon. It joined about half a cup of leftover canned white beans still waiting to go into a salad. They were in a square glass refrigerator dish. I was satisfied with my food preparation efforts and took my salad into the family room to eat while watching TV. Then I started reading on my bed, got sleepy, and closed my eyes for a bit before going to the computer. So I'm working on processing some photos and I hear a loud crash and a scream. It took me a minute to find Hubby, who was in the kitchen. I was afraid he might be hurt. The fridge was open, and lentils and white beans were on the bottom of the fridge and on the kitchen floor underneath. Fortunately nothing was broken except the bottom of a thin plastic storage container meant to go from microwave to freezer, but not to drop on the floor from three feet. The plastic didn't shatter, so I could save the lentils that were inside by moving them to a different dish. It was the smaller glass containers of lentils and beans that spilled all over what seemed like everything. So Hubby was upset with me because of the way I'd put the dishes in the fridge. He tends to get excited easily. I got the broom and a rag to clean up the mess. I was more upset that I'd lost a cup of those lentils I'd worked so hard on. I'm not even sure the few beans that spilled were still good. So as I was helping Hubby get his CPAP mask on before bed, he said he loved me. And I said I loved him, too, even if he did spill the beans. And we both laughed. He gets upset easily, but he also calms down and realizes when he's been unfair. Anything exciting happened at your house lately?
