minor crisis

yesterday i spilled my entire lunch on the floor.

it was a salad i'd made at home and was really excited to eat - good lettuce, caramelized onions, edamame, asparagus, and tofu.

fatal error: i'd gone to the cafeteria to put some oil and vinegar on it before going to a meeting.  i didn't put the top of the tupperware back on.  DUMB MOVE.

as i walked into the room where the meeting was being held, somehow i dropped the whole salad on the floor.  i was still holding the top of the tupperware when all was said and done.  of course i was.

it was really sad.

i did, however, recover much of the floor-salad and eat it and it was delicious.  this is not gross because (a) i inspected each piece for yuck and found none, and (b) humans have been eating dirtier things than this for a long time and have done okay.  i mean, have you seen the movie babies?  namibia baby picks up a BONE out of the DIRT and CHEWS on it.

i have packed the same salad for lunch today.

i am hopeful that it doesn't touch the floor, because clean salad > floor salad.
