I'm not sure what being a woman has to do with simply being stupid but she
sure sounds stupid to me! I'd be embarrassed to be married to anyone who
didn't know you run the disposal as soon as you put food into it. It is not
a trash can but I guess she doesn't take the trash out, either

Most suggestions offered here are good ones. Citrus peels, baking soda, and
of course running water *and* running the garbage disposal when you put
something down it!
