Food Removal Service

At 5:15 p.m. on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, the following leftover food items were in my refrigerator:
2 servings of baked beans
1 container of pasta sauce
1 turkey meatball
1 large grilled pork chop
2 servings of linguine
1 portion of eggplant and tofu stir-fry

By 5:30 p.m. on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, those food items were gone. What happened during those 15 minutes in between? My 21-year-old son and one of his roommates arrived home from college and were hungry after a 3-hour-plus drive from Orlando.

At 5:35 p.m., they headed back out on the road toward Miami to go to the Heat game. All that was left behind was a duffle bag full of dirty laundry and a trail of empty Tupperware containers. And plenty of room in the refrigerator for the turkey to thaw.
