i'm going to try to blame this on pregnancy. even though i'm not pregnant.

there's a seinfeld episode. where george eats an eclair out of the trash can. you know the one.

so i've been on a buffalo sauce kick lately. today, i was all over the mickey d's chicken strips and their buffalo sauce. yu-um (two syllables). after i was finished, i tossed the sauce container into the trash. then. li'l tot came up to me and gave me her nuggets box. there was one nugget left.

questions flooded my mind. do i eat the last nugget? do i save it for her as a snack later? do i eat the last nugget? do i blog about this? do i eat the last nugget? where did i put that buffalo sauce?

ok look. the trash can was clean. there was nothing in it but the drink holder, the bag, and a couple food boxes. i seriously thought hard. and i actually debated with myself whether or not to stick that last nugget in the sauce.

but thinking and debating does not a good blog post make. folks wanna hear the nitty gritty. they wanna hear the down and dirteh. they don't want any type of sugary coating whatsoever.

well folks. i aim to please. so yeah. i did it. i dipped my heart out. and it was so worth it.

That's just nasteh!

Marci said...

Hahahah, you make me laugh! I so remember that Seinfeld episode when George grabs the doughnut from the trash bin, and as always someone walks in to catch ya. So, my question to you is, who caught you in the act of digging the sauce out of the trash?

Hahahahahaha.

I say, what happens in the kitchen, stays in the kitchen. Unless you blog about it.

Insanity Kim said...

That puts a whole new spin on "special sauce"

And I could do on for days about "special sauce"

Like mayernaise

or Varnaise

I know there are other things you would take out of the garbage...

esque said...

Lol, I am not about to confess that I ever dug anything out of the trash. But, as long as it was worth, I would have done it too :D lol

I am so so so glad you dipped.

Jennie said...

HI-larious!! Your honesty and humor are much appreciated. I probably would have done the same thing!

TheresaJ said...

LOL, Wendi!!! Well, to be honest, I've probably done the same here at home in my own kitchen, but the trash at Mickey D's would be another story!

Just went to a new place with my kids last weekend called Wing Stop. Don't know if they're just in CA or if they're national. Pretty yummy place -- all wings, sauced and tossed 9 different ways, cooked to order right in front of you, and then really fresh french fries with an interesting seasoning, plus other sides. I'm not really a BBQ person, but this place was really good and definitely something a bit different. We got the family pack with with 3 different kinds of wings -- buffalo, honey BBQ, and garlic parmesan, plus 2 sides. Pretty yummy stuff! Here's their website in case you want to see if there's one near you... http://www.wingstop.com/default.aspx

Too funny! Been there, done that!

Mich said...

Way too funny! I have to say, I don't think I've ever done that! I wonder why not????

robin said...

the only thing i have ever dug out of the trash was my retainer after i got my braces off. it would always get thrown into the trash when i threw away my food tray. and i would have to dumpster dive for it or suffer my father's wrath. nasteh........

Lulu said...

As long as you didn't double-dip the nugget - well then, that's just gooood eatin'

Carrie said...

hahahahahaha....

had I been with you, I would have laughed hysterically...and then I would have throw up....probably in your buffalo sauce.

Amber said...

I would have totally done the same thing as long as my dog didn't get to it first!

Michelle said...

omg! hahahahah!!!

Sue Furrow said...

Princess Caitlin said...

Sometimes it really is that important.

love this post!! lol
I've done it before too...

JillHannah said...

Greatest thing ever:
mixing their buffalo sauce with their ranch sauce. Particularly good on fries.
You make me want it now, and I haven't been to the gym in weeks. You are a bad influence, young lady.

Carrie said...

I want that journal

Josh said...

Wait, there is something wrong with eating anything out of the trash?

DG said...

Shrimp Salad Circus said...

haha That's fantastic. I would've done exactly the same, as I share your passion for buffalo!

Cha Cha said...

We call our rule a 5 second rule, but it is really just an excuse to eat the really good stuff even if it has been on the floor(trash can). Thanks for sharing you made me laugh. HAPPY NEW YEAR

gringationcancun said...

i'd totally do that!... if no one was looking haha Happy Sits day!

Babes about Town said...

Oh I've done it! And I'm glad you blogged about it, so I can share your public shame without actually having to like, share your public shame! ;-)

Karen & Gerard Zemek said...

As long as it was still clean, it's okay. I would not let that nugget go to waste either! That was such a funny Seinfeld episode that even I remember it!

Congrats on your SITS day!

Real Life Reslers said...

YES! You might just be my new hero!

Dr. Mommy said...

Stopping by from SITS. Classic. I have never had the pleasure of tasting McDonald's buffalo sauce, though. It must be one of those regional things. I'm a big fan of the sweet and sour sauce. It's amazing on fries. Now i'm hungry.

Chrissy MacCEO said...

Cute post - I am totally with you, I'd have dunked that nugget too!
Stopping by from SITS!
HAPPY SITS DAY!!!

LisaDay said...

Happy SITS day.

That is nitty-gritty. I couldn't do it. Not even for honey.

Chelsea said...

Congrats on your big day!! This is too funny, I think I would have done the same thing though! I'm a self proclaimed "condiment whore", those things are just too good to waste! Have a good holiday weekend!

Vivianne's Vista said...

Ugh! I can't say I will go there but I do employ the 30 second rule when desperate!

KC Mom said...

Oh, is that a preggers thing? Whoops...I've broken that rule more then a few times and I've only been pregnant three times.

Heather said...

I totally would have done it too! I <3 buffalo sauce!

chele said...

Wow. So many, many thoughts but nothing to say about that one.

Angelia Sims said...

Oh yeah! Dumpster Dip Diving! Awesome. LOL.

Zeemaid said...

I don't think I could have done it... maybe it had been an eclair??

HAppy SITS day!

Young Wife said...

Ha! That's hilarious! Stopping by from SITS.

Jenn Erickson said...

Mmmm... Buffalo sauce! I feel ya SITSa! My five year old busted me around Christmas time during a similar incident involving an expensive and quite delicious hunk of artisinal salumi. It established contact for only a nanosecond with a clean piece of packaging on the top of the heap, and there was no way I was going to let that beautiful, aged hunk o' miscellaneous meat product become part of the landfill :p

I am with you! Of course growing up barefoot on a farm may have me a little biased towards dirt.

Adrian's Crazy Life said...

Good for you. You are my people. I am such a non-germphobe and you know what, I am the healthiest person I know. I never get sick, even when everyone else is just miserable. Go figure!

Kim said...

Gross! And leaning on a porta-potty bothered you?!

Andrea said...

Ok girlfriend, I would have eaten the last nugget for sure, but the sauce from the trash? Aren't you the same girl afraid of a porta pottie? That's all just too funny!!

Melinda said...

Ha Ha I love that episode. I've done it..if it wasn't touching anything and just sitting there on top. Hey wasn't that George's justification? Great blog!

Kerri said...

Oh-No-You-Didn't!! Ewwwww.
Good story though!
