Playing with the Food Trap

Today's Tip
Never ever throw a hundred asparagus stalks down the disposal

Or banana peels....They're probably both like manila hemp.

After some bad experiences with garbage disposals I came to the conclusion that garbage belongs in the garbage can (or compost heap, if you're into that sort of thing) and that the most useful job that a disposal can do is to pulverize the debris that is in the dishwashing water along with a power 'flush' thereby keeping the drain flowing properly. After I came to this conclusion, I was always happy to own a disposal, but I never used one thereafter to 'dispose'.

Asparagus is a particular favorite of mine...I diagonal cut about 1 1/4" and stir fry with chicken and black bean sauce....This is an outstanding combination.

Me - olive oil, salt, baked at 350 for 10 minutes, and eat them all in 5. Have green pee for three days. Great in mid-March.

I was renting out a house a few years ago and shortly after a new tenet moved in she called to complain that the disposal wasn't working. I went over there and the sink was half full of potato peelings. The disposal and the drain below it were impacted for almost three feet. I explained about how disposals were supposed to work and told her not to try and dispose of more than a handful of anything again.

A week later she did it again with apple peels. I removed the disposal from the sink and told her to throw her trash in the garbage and if the sink ever clogs up again, she should call and pay for a plumber to come fix it.

Idiots!
