I was doing a training shift at a Big Box store today. I had to go through Mobile, Apple store and Computers and train peeps on some new devices my company is offering. So we're all hanging out for a bit mid afternoon (me, a manager, and three employees: two male college kids and one mom.) and we're talking about dinner.
Mgr: I'm going to stop at Chipotle and get a box.
Mom: whatever my husband fixed, probably spaghetti.
Kids: pizza, and/or fruit loops, and red bull.

(They have a long night of dragon slaying planned tonight.)
Me: pot roast with steamed asparagus.
Mgr: You gonna eat at midnight? that takes forever!
Me: Nope! I put the roast and veggies in the crock pot before I left. I'll get home about an hour before the Spousal Unit so I'll have time to steam the asparagus. Then I just have to make the gravy.
Mom: you can put the asparagus in the top of the crockpot for a bit and steam it.
Me: but then it'll taste like pot roast instead of asparagus.
Kid blurts out: But that's a good thing! I'd eat asparagus if it were meat flavored!
