COME TO CHEEZUS

COME TO CHEEZUS :)
Category: Religion and Philosophy

HEE HEE. So I realize this "come to Jesus" thing is pretty damn intimidating for most people, who may think I'm asking friends and strangers to bare their souls and confess past sins and whatnot, and that ain't necessarily so. Confess if you want, but Comin' to Jesus is more about admitting big AND little things that aren't going according to plan, going well, going anywhere... and it's time to "give up the ghost" as it were.
IN that vein, I offer up another small CTJ that I performed over the weekend.
Since the Superbowl, I've had this leftover nacho cheese dip wrapped in plastic, at the back of the fridge. It was still in the handy removable crock-pot tray that we had heated it up in, so, theoretically, still heat-up-able and edible.
I had such high hopes for this cheese dip. I insisted on making it, with a pound of Albertson's brand Velveeta and a couple cans o' Ro-tel spicy tomatos, and lo and behold, not even my hollow-legged husband could finish it all.
So we froze the remainder, and one month later, took it to a friends' housewarming party as our potluck contribution. No, I'm not kidding. However, said husband forgot to ;put water in the bottom of the crockpot this time, so the cheese dip never really heated up, and only one person partook of it. (me)
Disappointed, we carted the dip home once again. And this time, put it in the back of the fridge where things tend to freeze.
ANd every weekend, i said to myself "I'm going to heat that stuff up and snack on it all day."
Well friends, guess what. Yep. Never happened. With a heavy heart, I had to come to cheezus, acknowledge that my own rule of food consumption - "No Visible Mold" had been broken, and chuck the stuff this past weekend, a full 3 months and 3 weeks after its creation.
And lo, I am sorely relieved. :)
