Lost and Found


Has anyone lost part of his or her copper scouring pad or know someone who has? You know, the metal sponge that is used to clean pots and pans?

If so, please contact us. We have found part of your copper scouring pad.

Last Friday.

In our pizza.

From the Upper Crust.

It is Kelly's lot in life to find mysterious items in her food. It happens so often that she actually reflects on whether or not she should continue to eat the food once she has found something odd in it. Gross?

One time, at an unmentionable BYO italian restaurant in Philadelphia, Kelly found a penny in her gnocchi. Reflecting. Pennies are currency. Reflecting. Currencies touch many people's hands. Reflecting. Hands touch lots of gross things and carry gross bacteria. Reflecting. Not going to continue to eat gnocchi. Then her loud friend, made louder by the previously mentioned BYO aspect of the restaurant, called the waiter over and made a big stink. And she got her meal for free.

Given the frequency with which this happens to Kelly, not wanting to make a big stink is why the reflecting has to occur.

And reflect as she did about her find in the pizza from the Upper Crust, she decided not to finish the slice. But of course, it was pretty good pizza: Upper Crust's tomato, mozzarella, and basil. And there was good company: her parents and her lovely husband Shaan. And there was a nice atmosphere: their kitchen table. So she took a different slice. After inspecting it with a few scientific tests, it was consumed with enjoyment and satisfaction.

As for the scouring pad, please claim it. It is here waiting for you.

  1. Best. Post. Ever. PS as usual, I'm right there with you Kel. The other night my dad took it upon himself to send back a glass of wine with an unidentified floating object when I took a little too long to make that decision on my own.
