The other day I had a text conversation with Mrs. Emerald and Mr. Bee, discussing the household food habits. I’ve always “taken care” of my family members, cooking for my older brother dinner when I was ten, so he would be sure to eat (despite his laziness - although my SIL says he’s a great cook now! I taught him well); bringing over extra food for my dad when I make too much, since sometimes he forgets to eat. Even now, when Mr. Kiwi is playing his Guitar Hero, I bring him a jug of cold water since I know he likes to keep hydrated in order to keep his star power high. Hehehe.
It comes as no surprise then, that even if I adore a certain piece of food, I will always leave the last piece for someone else (whether or not it gets eaten is another subject altogether). In our home, Mr. Kiwi and I have a system: any food not eaten by me within a day will get eaten by him. Part of this stems from how much I dislike leftovers. I will not eat them most of the time. The cases are rare when I tell him I want to eat so and so later. So, unless it’s a dessert or cookie of some sort, it’s fair game. If I DO want to eat it later, I must tell him, otherwise he will eat it before I have a chance to get home. Like Woofie did. Okay, Woofie doesn’t really understand the difference between eating Mommy’s cookie when she’s working and Daddy’s playing the wii (and letting Woofie run wild- thus allowing him to sneak my cookie while I’m gone) and being allowed to have something, but still- I was dreaming of that cookie all DAY.
Anyway, since we have this system, it makes me wonder: do other couples have a food system?
