So my wife has a new job at a medical office. She's a patient there, and the hours are flexible, and she can do it while the kids are in school, so it works out well for her. The thing is all the free food. It looks to me like pharmaceutical reps have gotten away from bribing doctors and giving free pens and notepads. The new way to get some face time with the doctor seems to be buying lunch for the entire office. Of course, they try to be generous.
My wife has taken on the roll of bringing home the extra food each day, which seems like almost all of it. We've seen bags of bagels, a giant tray of Italian cookies, taco beef and taco chicken and taco salad, trays of salad, the ubiquitous cut fruit platter. This is probably a regional thing, but we had an unopened approx. 15 pound tray of wraps and cut up submarine sandwiches full of tuna and sliced deli meats. Each was held together with a toothpick.
One rep thought outside of the box and brought nothing but individual bowls of Wendy's chili and individual Wendy's salads. I think that was actually successful in terms of the staff eating the food, but my wife still brought home about eight of each.
So we haven't been doing much cooking or grilling lately. I hate to see food go to waste.
In the meantime, my three Genesis grills are partly disassembled on the lawn because I'm washing the deck. I'm not using them, and I'm feeling the pull of the TVWBB rabbit hole. I bought a little five dollar razor scraper and gleefully scraped twenty years of carbon off those lids almost like it was nothing. Now i'm looking at the end caps on the lids and thinking those really could use some paint, and how easy it would be to do them all at the same time.....
