There are several random thoughts I had of kitchen supplies or habits and objects from relationships lost. Nothing to do with just cooking either because there’s really only one other than my current man — who holds the gold medal in making my tummy happy. Unless you count Velveeta Shells & Cheese as a meal cooked BECAUSE I CERTAINLY DO NOT.
I used to own a super-cute, full set of shabby chic china tableware. The set matched NOTHING in my kitchen. In ANY kitchen of ANY home or apartment. But I had uber-love for this kitschy baby pink floral and silver-accented plate and tea set. It’s ultra girly, and I am obviously not. Regardless, when I moved out of my ex’s place, it was inadvertently left behind. It’s so tragic.
There is a spoon missing spoon from one of my flatware sets. AND I KNOW EXACTLY WHO HAS IT! Ugh. He had a 9×12 baking dish of mine too that I only had returned upon dating him (a few years later after we were roommates). Note to others: DO NOT DATE FORMER ROOMMATES. Unless they have boobs. No matter your gender. Listen to me speak wisely. That is all. AND GIVE ME BACK MY GLASS STOVETOP PAN!
I never understood using linens for regular napkins much, until guy after guy used them (or cheaply, a dish towel… but whatevs, freaks). When is this taught? Because somewhere between Potential Suitor #4 and Dick Head #48, there was an exceptional increase in male fancy napkin use. By my adopted use of washable napkins, it also made me look consciously at my paper waste (I will not quit you, Cottonelle TP!). I had an entire DRAWER of 20+ cloth napkins. I am now a consistent daily user. No more paper towel waste. And you are not holier than me if you use said cloth napkins, then use paper towels to CLEAN UP WATER. This makes sense not.
Have you learned anything from the kitchen habits of exes? Ever leave something behind in the kitchen of relationships past? Or is it all Food Network and you watch food and don’t need to cook it? WHO ARE YOU!?

I know it makes me a bad person, but I really wish I had taken my ex’s immersion blender.

I was so happy to have mine last night when I randomly wanted whipped cream. Yes, JUST whipped cream. Odd.

After writing this, I also remembered Dick Face kept my wine chiller and electric opener at his condo in Michigan that I received LAST Christmas. It was MY GIFT. Dick.
