The Peppercorn Incident

[mlerules]

In the process of trying to twist the top of the pepper grinder to produce more ground pepper I managed instead to unscrew the entire top and strew black peppercorns across the stove, onto the floor, and into the 7-Veggie Casserole I'm making for potluck tonight. I chose to burst into laughter rather than tears. It was pretty amusing...and there's nothing I could do about it once it'd happened. (I'll be aware of this and work to avoid such mishaps in the future.) I'll just warn tonight's casserole takers of the peppercorn possibility. Hmm, mebbe I'll come up w/some folk wisdom about how it's good luck to find a peppercorn in your portion. It shouldn't be too bad as they'll've been baked at 350 for an hour inside a casserole of veggies (w/cous cous lining the dish), although I do expect it to taste more peppery than usual.

Concurrence! Pepper is one of the proofs that things are right with the Universe.
