Today, I was kind of sick. I didn't want to move much so I ate cornflakes in milk. Then I didn't do anything for a few hours. Eventually I figured it was a good idea to eat some food, so I washed, de-sprouted, and microwaved two sprouting potatoes. Then I realized that since I wasn't planning on eating much else, I might as well go all out on the baked potatoes. I added a little butter. Then I tried grinding some pepper and sea salt from one of those shakers-cum-grinders.
BOOMI unscrewed the lid instead of turning the grinder. Black peppercorns and sea salt everywhere. Luckily it was baked potatoes, so I could just eat the potatoes out of the skins. But almost all the salt and pepper were writeoffs. If the potatoes were dry, I could probably have salvaged some of it. But there was butter. Salt sticking to the butter. So, no.
In the end I vacuumed everything with a crappy vacuum. At least some of the salt didn't leave the shaker (like, 1 tbsp) so I'm not resigned to bland food again just yet.
