looks like mayonnaise...

so. a funny anecdote from this evening.

we were visiting with some friends we haven't seen in a while, and they invited us to stay for dinner. they had some honebaked ham they were planning to have for sandwiches, so there was plenty to share. i made mine with one side mayo, one side dijon...some lettuce...no cheese, of course.

it was a casual thing, we just made sandwiches and sat in the family room while charis played on the floor in front of us. i sat down to start eating, and as i had a bite of my sandwich, charis fussed enough that i thought i should pick her up and try to hold her while i ate.

so i picked her up and she thrashed around in my arms a bit before settling down.

"you have something on your chin," offered derek.

"oh," i thought to myself, "i thought i felt something wettish on my chin...let's just see, shall we?"

so i wiped the palm of my hand on my chin and looked at what was there. "oh," i thought, "it's mayonnaise...i must have gotten some on me when i took that bite of sandwich." so i licked it off my hand.

but oh. no. that's not mayonnaise at all. that has a strange sour taste, and...

"ew!" i spit it back out.

somehow, charis had managed to plant a glob of cheesey spit-up on my chin. but it wasn't on my chin anymore.

and now that i have you all grossed out, allow me to share some photos from last night...derek and i went to "the winds cafe" in yellow springs for an anniversary dinner. it was our 5th anniversary yesterday and we had a lovely dinner.
