I also count - like when I'm eating grapes or M&Ms- I have to have an even number. If I have an odd number I have to bite one in half so I'll have 2 pieces (back to an even number!) I have no idea why I do this. Thankfully, I can do this in my head so no one knows about it.

I have to have all canned goods in groups, ie; all fruits together, all beans, all tomatoes and sauce, canned milk, etc., same in spice cabinet and they all must be facing where I can read the labels. I am also an "over" the spindle for toilet paper and paper towels. Drives my family nuts!!

Won't there be more dishes after you have eaten supper?

After I use a washcloth, I must thoroughly rinse it, then wring it out until it's practically dry, before hanging it over the side of the tub (to dry until I gather laundry). It drives me crazy, to pick up a washcloth, that someone has wadded up, soaking wet, and left in the corner of the tub!

It was always an adventure, trying the different crackers; that was probably my favorite part of the meal! LOL Were those tiny "crocks" made of white ceramic? I vaguely remember something like that . . . but was probably too busy stuffing myself with crackers and butter, to pay attention to much else.
Every once in a blue moon, we'd go to the French Quarter and get beignets and hot chocolate (my parents would get coffee). Mmmmmm! I remember having to put on a dress, to take the bus to Canal St., to shop with my mom. Seems funny now, how people dressed up, to go shopping!

And yes, the little crocks were white ceramic or porcelain or something. And were ice cold.
I remember dressing up (& my mom having on gloves & a hat even!) to go shopping. Then we'd go have lunch at the Tea Room & I felt soooooo grown up!!!

I'd never been away from the rat's nest and experienced real joy before

Pair that with a cup of coffee (or hot cocoa, for non-coffee drinkers). Take a bite. Inhale the aroma of the coffee. Close your eyes and savor the moment. Hear the cooing of pigeons and the distant murmuring of fellow diners. Another bite of beignet. Another sip of coffee. Nothing else matters.
