an update on "thrifty failed me"...

if you haven't read the post i refer to above, scroll down a couple of posts and do it! i thought yall might this little update...

so one of my mothers-in-law, jeni (hubby's stepmom), shared the following information with me after laughing maniacally at the "thrifty failed me" post...

jeni: 1) never put wood in the dishwasher!

me: oops.

jeni: 2) most wooden bowls back in the day were used specifically for caesar salad. the dressing was made in the bowl first, and the lettuce was tossed in later. originally, most caesar dressings were made with anchovies... they were smashed up (minced is probably the word she used but i like smashed up) in the bowl in the dressing prep.

me: oooh. ew.
