My husband is always clean, well dressed and likes the rooms of our home to look tidy. I often find him neatening up throw blankets on the couch. I tell you this, so you don’t get the wrong idea about the problem. When he peppers his food, he doesn’t seem to understand the basic, and to me so obvious it need not even be learned, concept that the pepper is to be ground within the boundaries of the circumference of the plate. So, if some food, maybe the outer edge of a scrambled egg, happened to be right up next to the edge of plate, you would have to accept that bite of food not being peppered. Well, that’s not how he sees it.
To achieve a robust and even peppering, it’s okay with him that pepper goes all over the table. I’ve called his attention to this, but it hasn’t changed anything. He values peppering food above all other concerns. Though I really like a neat table, I also really like him. He is so peculiar!
He did this illustration for me. Thank you, Hon!
On another note, Sidewalk Face prints will be back for sale very soon! I am going to be offering them as ready to hang on the wall, glass-less “standouts” (the merchandise nomenclature). Stay tuned!
