Roommate food

98% of the time, SuperK is an awesome roommate. We keep different hours, so there is never any fight over the bathroom. He's pretty neat (in both the tidy and fun ways). He will wash the dishes (admittedly, poorly) if I make dinner for both of us. And it's fun to snark with him. But right now, he has committed two food violations in a week.

Last week, I got home from the grocery store to make a chicken sandwich, incorporating some of the fresh produce I just got. Only to find exactly 1 slice of bread in my bag. Not enough to a sandwich, but not enough to either throw away or grab my attention as something I needed to get. Just now, I go into the fridge to enjoy some cold cheesy bread that I splurged on the other night. That night, I had 2 slices. Yesterday, 1 slice. And I know he asked to have a few, but I didn't realise that a few meant "all but a really tiny slice." ARGH!!

In his defense, he did ask to have SOME bread, and some cheesy-bread, which was fine. I just didn't know the extent of the damage until it was too late. The only time I ever eat his food is when I am making a big pot of pasta that both of us will eat. (The boy doesn't know how to cook pasta, and I had to teach him how to wash dishes. I'm not sure how he got through college.)

The good news is I found a Little Caesars (Pizza! Pizza!) who does crazy bread and it's way cheaper than Woodstocks. Bad news - Little Caesars doesn't deliver and closes at 10PM. Why are there no good delivery places around here? I miss my Papa Johns student special! And if I am gonna drop cash on pizza, I want the organic, hippy insanity of Avalanche. (Their Godzilla and Cheeseburger pizzas are awesome). I also think they should cater to the niche market of graduate students who want cake at 2AM. Because I'm sure I'm not the only one.
