O, My Darlin' Clementine

Last week, Suebob posted a photo of a moldy cantaloupe that she found in her fridge. I showed it to Husband, and he asked me if it was named Archibald. (When his mother was growing up, her British father found a moldy - or mouldy? - cantaloupe in their house, and named it Archibald.)

Then last night, Husband sheepishly approached me while I sat at the computer desk, hiding something behind his back.

"Can you take out some trash?" he asked. (He was in his pajamas, whereas I was still dressed in jeans and a t-shirt.)

I had a sinking feeling that I knew what he was holding. When I said sure, he whipped out a bag with a moldy clementine. Seriously, seriously, moldy. Before I chucked it, I had to snap a shot:



As I threw it out, I sang it a funeral dirge. Oh my darlin, oh my darlin, o my darlin Clementine/You were lost and gone forever/Oh my darlin Clementine.

Happy Inauguration Day!!!!!

    That is not just moldy. That is like a moldsplosion!

    We are obviously long lost sisters.

    Actually, it is Husband who generated the moldsplosion, but I would love to be your long lost sister. We both show off the moldy fruit we have. I think that could be a double entendre, but I didn't mean it that way...

    The worse part is that I debated eating the clementine on the far side of the bag before Husband caught me staring at it and insisted that I throw it out. (Like Shonda, I hate wasting food.)
