Well, maybe not worst. But pretty bad, all the same, especially if it's cold and snowy and you have little food left in the house.
I was eating leftover chicken and potatoes. Had reheated in the micro, was about to sit down with a nice glass of Pinot Grigio. Needed to season the plate with a little salt and pepper, both of which, in my house, come in grinders. Can you see where this is going?
The pepper went on just fine-- a light dusting of black specks. The salt, however, was another matter. The whole grinder-lid fell off, along with about a quarter of the jar of sea salt. Sad, sad day.
Fortunately, because it was unground sea salt, I was able to scrape or pick off most of it. Still, it was a very sorry, salty, disappointing dinner. I thought about just ditching it and going to Applebee's or something, but my paycheck hasn't gone through yet so my bank account is dangerously low, plus there's about a foot of snow still covering my parking lot that I don't feel like walking or driving through.
