Lid Thieves and Sock Monsters

Something is going on around here. Last year's strawberry jam is all gone. All the containers ( with matching lids) have been washed and stored in the cupboard for just such an occassion as this... strawberry jam in the making.

Sometime when no one was looking the lid thief entered my kitchen and took a bunch of lids, only to replace them with mis-matched ones that nowhere near fit the remaining containers. (SIGH) Here's proof of the lids left behind and replaced for the ones that fit.



I'm convinced he is a first cousin to the "sock monster" who constantly takes one sock to a pair and leaves the other.


This is a warning to both of these "partners in crime" I'm watching for you and hopefully next year's jam making day will have better matching containers.


Until then, Ellmaker House guests and I will continue to enjoy fresh strawberry jam.Come to Ellmaker House B&B and see for yourself how delicious it is.

  2. That was fast, Michele, I'm guessing you had nothing else to do on a Sunday afternoon. Soon the sun will appear and you wont have time to follow a blog :)

  3. Great writing. I feel that the lid thief, may have traveled to the bay area and replaced mine with yours. Maybe we can coordinate a lid exchange or something....the socks are a different story. The jam looks delicious though, I'm sure it wasnt stored for long before it was gone.

    My name is Marc, and aside from me being a victim of both the lid thief and sock monster, I also work with Bescover.
