Comments on: Vegetable racks http://www.cartoonchurch.com/blog/2007/10/02/vegetable-racks/ by Dave Walker Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:58:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Captain Rugeley http://www.cartoonchurch.com/blog/2007/10/02/vegetable-racks/comment-page-1/#comment-229836 Captain Rugeley Wed, 06 Feb 2008 20:39:42 +0000 http://www.cartoonchurch.com/blog/2007/10/02/vegetable-racks/#comment-229836 My wife and I have had a brown plastic Addis three-shelf vegetable rack for 30 years or so. We really just wanted a dustpan and brush (brown plastic etc) but I think there was some sort of special offer so we came away with a matching veg rack as well. For about 10 years, the veg was banished and it acquired a new role as a Lego rack - base-boards and other really big bits in the bottom, ordinary bricks in the middle, and the little, fiddly decorative bits in the top. Then my daughters told me to stop buying them Lego for me to play with, and Lego rack reverted to veg rack. My wife and I have had a brown plastic Addis three-shelf vegetable rack for 30 years or so.

It stores a miscellany of items, vis: a tray, an ice cream container containing plasticene, a jar of glass chips of the sort used in flower arranging, a little bag full of bouncy balls, felt letters, sticky backed plastic, an empty toblerone box, assorted shopping bags, a collection of tops from milk cartons (mainly green), a plastic bag containing mixed sand and glitter and an alphabet jigsaw - amongst other things. For some reason these are all items I consider essential for tutoring. The veg is in the fridge. I have a veg rack (bought in my early forties).

The flotsam and jetsam of life, perhaps. I suspect it's elicit, by the way, rather than illicit, which is something else entirely.

I suppose it doesn't have to worry anyone, just something to flag up. does it worry anyone that whilst, obviously, all of dave’s posts illicit comments, the one to illicit the most comments (41 now) is one about vegetable racks?

We use our shelves on a rotation system, the top being the oldest most mouldy and dead vegetables, the next tray down being a weekn newer, and so on and so forth. It means we always use up the oldest and about to die vegetables first but it also means we never eat anything fresh.

Not a vegetable in sight. Hmmm, I must be a vegetable rack anarchist then... I must be a late starter, I didn’t get my vegetable rack until my early forties…
