Random Fact of the Day

Okay, this is as the title says... random. The normal Italian kitchen does not have a garbage disposal. Although this may seem like a frivolous fact, it is also something that is normal for us Americans. I actually miss being able to throw any foods down the drain without having to dump it in the trash and leak and such. Oh wells.... The funny thing is that more Italian families use their plunger in the kitchen rather than the bathroom. They use it to suck up any food that does clog up the drain. On that note, there was one time when we just moved in and our toilet got clogged and we didn't have a plunger. Our neighbor came over, got a mop and stuffed it in the toilet and totally unclogged it with one swift push and pull. Talk about new experiences... =)
