I Told You So
I hate to say I told you so.
But…
When everyone around here was telling me my glass dish was used for garlic, and I disagreed, insisting it’s for butter. I finally got proof-positive.
Last week, I was shopping at Zabar’s, hoping actually to pick up a few more of my favorite knives.
But you guys must’ve gotten them all, because they were all out and they don’t stock them anymore. (grrr..) Dejected, I was poking around, hoping to find something to get that little jolt “buyers rebound”, when I spotted on the corner shelf, by the marmalade and honey jars, a row of covered glass dishes, that looked remarkably…no, exactly…like mine!
I won’t bring up the joke about why flying saucers never land on the lawns of Jewish people, but flip it over I did, and it said Made by Anchor Hocking. It didn’t quite have a description of what it was (although it was nowhere near anything garlic-related in the store), so I searched on Google, and lo and behind—it is indeed a butter dish.
Now I’m entirely convinced that I’m right and either the folks around here are playing a cruel joke on the gullible American, or what, but now I’ve got proof-positive, since I learned the truth on the internet.
And although we don’t always agree on everything, everyone knows, French and American, that if it’s on the internet, it must be true.
So there.
