Hi Rapunzel....... ummmmm You may have touched on something here. As you said you cooked ground beef with potatoes and carrots and freeze it to add to "future" meals for folks that wanted meat and somebody goes and eats half of the mixture, I'd be upset too.........

I can relate to what you wrote because I had plans for that ham.... I wanted to make ham and beans or ham and potato soup, maybe freeze a bit to cook for breakfast with eggs... And bang it was gone before I could blink an eye....Heck it was half gone before we even had dinner....I think I understand now what all my "fuss" was about... I intended to make several meals from the ham, not just one..... and I do enjoy ham and mustard sandwiches .. AM pretty sure this is why I was so irked....

It doesn't bother me that "folks" eat large quantities of meat in one meal. Most folks that I know are eager meat eaters being they love lots of meat. Whereas I won't even touch a steak. let alone beef/pork ribs... I won't pass up a hamburger tho.. esp with cheese....I do prefer chicken, turkey and fish.......

I am thinking I was upset because for one, it is rude to take half of someones food. And to take it as fast as I was cutting it from the bone is not too cool either.. Plus the amount that was taken did not leave me anything left for beans n ham or even ham and potato soup....I think it was how it was done and when... (but then a side of me says that she feels so comfy here like home and felt it was ok just to dig in) which means she likes it here and feels welcomed?.........

So many little things build up... sometimes it is the little things that causes one to snap....and I snapped.... Just glad I wrote it here instead of snapping at the young girl..... I am just glad I wrote it here to get a better understanding of why I was upset... Which means writing here has helped me a lot. Lots of great input from the folks here at PC helped me...... Also glad I did not snap at the young girl.. wipes brow
