Um, wtf was your pot of stock doing in the sink?!?!? duh
You should have apologized for setting him up... it's still not too
late for you to get down on your knees, turn about is fair play ya
know. heheh

Btw, you could have made that stock in a $30 Farberware pot... and
with all that change you'd have money for whole chickens instead of
saved up scraps... it just doesn't make sense to use a $120 pot to
simmer 50 cents worth of salvage. Maybe hubby is sly like a fox.
