Explosion

August 7th, 2005

Do you remember when I told you about how we fermented our own ketchup? And how much better it is than storebought ketchup? Not only is it better, it also different. For instance, if you leave storebought ketchup upside down, draining the last little bits of ketchup toward the bottom, and then forget to put it away overnight, it does not, the next morning launch itself off the dining room table exploding ketchup all over the table, children, walls, and curtains as if we had had a Sabbath day visit from that heathen Attila the bloody massacring Hun, leaving in its aftermath a group of delighted red-speckled children who will not soon forget the effects of fermentation, gasses, and buildup of pressure.
