Drano Dinner
FOUND by Barbara Tessmer in St. Louis, Missouri
I found this list at the local grocery store. Sounds like New York is having a pretty good meal...until you get to the bottom of the list. Glad I wasn't invited over for dinner.

Weird. There's nothing else to say. Weird.

That's the craziest writing to curvy lines I've seen yet.

Hmmm perhaps they figured that if any stuffing and dried cranberries etc got stuck in the drin, they'd have a bit of a problem on their hands...

but if that not the case...
MMM MMM DRANO!

i love this; you can just see the thought process although it seems whoever it is thought this was going to be a pretty wicked meal/experience if it ends with drano and clothes so wrecked they just have to be dumped. great list.

Sounds like Thanksgiving dinner to me! Maybe they have experience and anticipate a clogged drain? Also- dump clothes might mean dumpy, or raggedy clothes, to cook in so they don't ruin their holiday outfit?
I love making lists, but mine are along the same mindframe- scattered thoughts that all go along with the same event and only the listmaker can understand what they mean.

Mmmmmm...nothing like "dump clothes" for a sweet ending to a good meal. LOL!

Oh - I wonder if that's "dump clothes" a la mode? Or just warmed and with coffee?

If, when composing a shopping list for a meal you are going to make, your mind EVER wanders to Drano, you probably ought not be cooking. Just sayin'....

I think maybe the author meant "damp cloths"?

It wouldn't be "damp cloths" because you wouldn't buy them damp at the store. I took it to be a list where he was looking at the recipe and wrote down all the needs, then later came back and added two things he remembered. My local SuperWalmart has a Goodwill donation box outside, so I actually write lists all the time with food, Drano, and a reminder to drop off the old clothes at the Goodwill box.

And let me say, that recipe sounds amazing and now I want to make it! Well, minus the Drano.

While logic tells me they were probably dropping off old clothes to the Salvation Army or something, I watch too much Law & Order for my imagination not to conjure up some serial killer tossing bloody clothes into a dumpster somewhere on Long Island at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Heathers Holiday... that's GOOD!!! I figure this person is having the folks over... or the significant other's folks... making a nice meal, but oh god, when they use the bathroom they're gonna notice that the shower and sink gurgles when you flush... and that four-week-old pile of laundry under the sink, where am I gonna hide that???? Oh god... why didn't we insist on a restaurant...???

Dump clothes as in throw the clothes away?
Or dump clothes as in go to a dump for clothes?
Or dump clothes as they work at a dump and need their clothes?
SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!

"Heather in SCOTLAND!! said:

in the movie heathers, someone gives someone else a "wake up cup full of liquid drainer." which she drinks. hilarity ensues. great movie, you should check it out. :)

I have a notepad just like that! It's from Target. I have a New York one, a Paris one, and I think the other was Rome. I never use them because the curvy lines are awkward to write on.

I could tell this note was found in/near St Lousi, becasue we are one of the few places you can find pork steaks. The New York stationary threw me off tho.
I bet dump clothes was for one of the thrist stores on Forest Park PKWY, maybe? Who knows. Good find, and tasty sounding, too, till the end, at least.
