Random Acts of Trivia: We Now Return to Random Acts of Trivia Already in Progress

Today's Player vs Player reminded me of my marriage. We did the whole save the wedding cake for a year thing. I was opposed to it from the get-go. First, I've learned (through some very hard lessons) not to eat anything that's been in the fridge longer than a couple of weeks. I once ate pizza that had been in my dad's freezer for three months and was laid out for a week with food poisoning. So imagine my lack of enthusiasm in eating year-old cake.

Second, Andia chose this huge Rubbermaid container to store the cake in. It took up a fourth of the freezer. We would go grocery shopping and when we hit the frozen food section I'd have to pass on certain items because of lack of storage. I could only buy one bag of Totino's Pizza Rolls!

Then of course there was the blackout of '07. Two months after the cake went into the freezer the power went out for a week and a half. We through everything in the fridge out. Everything but the cake. The cake stayed. All because of some bizarre tradition that requires old food to be consumed and the chance of illness put into play.

So when the anniversary rolled around I didn't eat the cake. I think Andia took a bite and decided to chunk the whole thing. It was amazing how much roomier the freezer was after that. I think what I'm really trying to say is that I'm a pie man.
