I've been clearing up the kitchen and just want to make this announcement:

Dear friends,

You already know that when you visit me you might need to let me know when you're hungry, because I tend to forget to eat.

You also already know that my home is your home. Feel free to raid the fridge and the "cupboard of munchies", and don't hesitate to make your own tea or coffee.

Here's a new one: Don't be shy, don't be polite; EAT to your heart's delight. Want that last cookie? TAKE the last cookie! So you finished the pack? So what????

That way, when you leave, I won't find:
- 1 jam jar with 1/2 a spoonful of jam.
- 1 pack of cream cheese with 1/2 a spoonful of cheese
- 1 glass of mustard with just 1 teaspoonful of mustard
- 1 pack of butter with juuuust enough butter to butter 1/2 a piece of bread
- 1 tortilla wrap
- 1 cartoon of orange juice with just enough inside for 1/3 of a glass
- 1 cartoon of milk with just enough inside for 1/3 of a glass
- 2 bags of crips with just a small handful in each
- 2 packages of meat cutting to put on bread with just 1 piece inside
- 1/2 a slice of mazarin cake
- 1/4 slice of cream cake

Love,
May

That so sounds like my cat.
My Dad and I call it "Antstands-Resten".
Its those two peebles of cat brekkies/or any other food of his, also known as his statement: "I was here, it tasted horrible, but I ate it nevertheless and suffered so much!"
And you'll always know if another cat or the raven or ants or snails raided his outside-dish (which we place out if we are not home during the day, so he wont be insulted), cause then its shining clean.

My indoor cats do the same. I've always thought of it as emergency stash.

I am the human vacuum cleaner - I'll finish anything that gets left behind, especially at dinners. That last piece of cheese? I'll politely ask if anyone else is interested.... no? *Snatch* *Stuff* *Ummm!* Shocked my Danish in-laws. Didn't I know I was supposed to leave the last of everything and politely demure wanting the last slice even though I've been eyeing it and craving it? As I was cleaning up the last of everything, my father-in-law leaned over and whispered, "good for you! We Danes are too scared to take the last slice!" I just hope they've learned, if you want it and I ask if you want it SAY SOMETHING or I'll eat it. :-)

Oh you'd fit right in here then! There's nothing more satisfying than cleaning away empty plates. :)

Guests were Greek, but yeah the Danes do this as well, and Germans - in fact C and I have a term for it called "Kerstin was here" named after a German friend's ex-girlfried who was an expert at leaving just a little bit behind. *grin*
