The Handbasket Kitchen was recently remodeled, including a lovely butcher block counter top beside the stove. With that countertop comes the need to season it. With that need, comes a bunch of research. What can we season it with that will serve the purpose, but still be food safe, and preferably environmentally friendly? We finally decided on Mineral Oil.
A little more research, and we find out where to buy the oil. The pharmacy. With the laxatives.
I happily grab the bottle for $5, a bargain! I march up to the teenage boy cashier. Boy looks at the bottle ("intestinal lubricant") and at me... back to the bottle, back to me... Awkward pause, awkward silence which I know I shouldn't fill, but I am compelled.
"Just gotta season up the butcher block before the relatives come for dinner" I tell him happily...
I should have known that would come out as a potty inuendo... the boy just about turned green. Thankfully, I had the wisdom to stop talking, rather than explain to the rest of the store.
